sounds like a plan 2 me buddy. ill post sum pics on friday show u what i got going on.
can anyone recommend a good place to get some lights for indoor growing in the UK?
I'm doing a closet grow and I plan on using fluorescent lights. The closet is 160x90x45 cm.
What size and wattage fluoro lights should I be looking at?
Also how do I go about getting these things plugged into a conventional socket?
Thanks

Cries for help or distress. It's a lot more vague than you think.

Be Careful with a closet
heat is a big issue if you can't vent it properly like me, cooking my bloody plants 
I just went to the aquarium got 2, 45 watt plant growth blue'ish fluoro's but I've found a good place on the net, Greenshorticulture.co.uk they do pretty much everything, reasonably priced, I didn't shop around too much so you can probably get em cheaper elsewhere.
They also delivered next day 'cause I ordered before 4pm the day before which was mental quick,
And theres always B&Q for all your nute's mediums etc (I've found B&Q cheaper than hoebase, for stuff like that)
You may also want to think about a HPS or MH down the line when it comes for flowering.
And most lights you buy come with all the fittings and standard UK plug sockets connected to the ballasts.
before I started I just read... and read... and read and then didn't plan, then started growing.. and it went downhill from there lol back on track now tho.
hope that was useful

theres been talking about this a bit earlier in this thread, try from about page 800, maybe before...
Don't think you can actually get done for just thermal the police need way more than that for a warrant... if they do ask just say you have an aquarium and your growing corals/reef stuff 'cause you need r8 high power lights for that.
hey thanks or that. never thought of that. ur info could be priceless

I just remembered a story one of my mates told me, goes a little summin like this:
"ooh i saw so and so the other day an he told me he was growin an dealin an stuff, he was like 'I make £24,000 per month' off of one plant', I was like wow really"
just made me laugh, maybe cos she has a really essex kinda voice...
I swear even a Tree couldn't make that much doob

thats like a good 10lbs every month lolcan anyone reccomend some good soil for my first indoor grow? A lot of the threads I see mentioned brands we cant get here in the UK.
Also I'm a bit of a lost when it comes to nutrients. Not really sure what my plant needs and when. I'm only gonna be growing one plant to start so I don't wanna go crazy and invest in a ton of different nutrients. Is there a do it all nutrient throughout the whole grow cycle I can use?

2 of my plants are using bio-bizz soil (uk) and 2 of my other plants are using canna coco mix (uk), the 2 plants using the bio are outdoing the others by FAR.
bio-bizz do a range of nutrients for the soil aswell.
bio-grow (for vegging and flowering)
bio-bloom (for flowering)
everything is completley organic and seems to be working wonders for me so far.
the bio-bizz soil cost me £10 for 50litres.
bio grow and bloom are £10 each.

How about considering an alternative to soil?
I'd recommend reading up on a Hempy style grow using a medium of perlite and vermiculite at a 3/1 ratio. These can be bought real cheap in most wilkos(though i only found this out after paying a lot more in B&Q!). I'm trying this method for my first grow and both the plants and me are loving it!
As for nutes, GHE 3 part flora series work great if you don't mind mixing them up, think they were about £7 each of ebay plus postage. Plus whatever nutes you get you'll usually find plenty of tried and tested ratios for them on RIU...
