Hi, I was wondering if anyone could answer a couple of questions about indoor gardening things other than weed.
This seems kinda long so imma highlight the questions in red if you wanna skip to the good stuff!
Right so my mum really loves gardening and she likes all sorts of exotic plants and flowers so I thought I would buy her a grow tent setup for Christmas to do it in as we live in cold, wet shitty England.
Oh and I work in a grow shop so I get wholesale price on stuff, and know how to set up a regular grow fine so equipment supply isn't a problem.
I will be getting a 240mm x 120mm Secret Jardin tent, Ruck 125L & Ruck 150L extractor fans run through an SMS Smartcontroller
I was wondering firstly if lux/light spread is such a big issue with other plants than MJ, dunno whether to go 2 x 400W Dual Spec HPS instead of 2 x600W? Or even just a few 250W CFL??
I don't want there to be any moving lights around and changing bulbs, just simple 2 Gold Star air cooled hoods on rope ratchet hangers, or not even air cooled if CFL.
Also I don't know whether it would be best to build 2 big wooden floor trays with high sides and fill them with soil or to supply many individual pots? I will have little ones for germination and potting on obviously. There will be most likely flowers, bulbs, dwarf fruit trees, anything that grows in warm climates really I guess, are different types of soil for different plants going to be much of a concern, and can you grow the kind of things listed in regular pots?
Is there anything anyone with experience would do different for indoor grows of other plants than bud?
I know there's a lot of questions in there, thanks to anyone who takes the time to read it!
