Hi folks,
I'm starting a grow in my house and I don't live in the US, therefore a lot of questions and equipment I'll ask/buy probably won't be understood so easy. I've just bought a tent from HomeBox x GrowLab GL80, it's a 1.8mx0.8mx0.8m or for those who preffer 6ftx2,6ftx2,6ft. My setup will be the one I can afford and I've read most tutorials for a long time on growweedeasy.com. I'm starting with a Carbon Filter, a MH lamp for veg, HPS for flora, an exhaustor vent connected by tubes. Probably start with a coco coir soil with 6-8 gallons (or 30 liter) buckets and I'll go for General Hydroponics Micro, Bloom, Gro. My vent is going to be a 125mm 230m³/h (min) to 345m³/h (max), i'll go for a Carbon Filter with 400m³/h but there is an option of lowering that to 250m³/h. I'll use 600w lamps with cooltubes and a 600w reactor (not electronic).
My first questions are specific; with that air flow I'll be able to have my grow odor free (2 scenarios with both Carbon Filter)? I was wondering also if I really should use 600w lamps, since my first setup will be for only 2-3 plants, or if a 400w setup is enough (of course a 600w setup is great for a later grow w/ more plants, but is it necessary for a start? - I am aware of the trade off here on a long term). And I've read a lot about trimming, defoliation a scroge tactics, is it really not recommended for starter growers?
OBS: I have 3 seeds from way back and probably storaged them wrongly, kept it on my closet inside a M&M tube and these days I've put them on a black tube inside my fridge. I was wondering if the soak overnight it's a really good method for old seeds, does anyone have an opinion on that?
Thanks a lot!
