HELP! Planning out my first indoor grow. Looking for Advice

Cleanliness in and around the growroom is very important. If you were close to plants in the garden,
it is best to change even the clothes. Wash off exposed body parts. No animals in the growroom.

This may sound extreme at first, but it is only to protect your plants.

Especially spider mites are extremely on the go this year. All other pests you get relatively well under control in my experience.

But these beasts are super invaders.
They are able to activate a gene that protects them from almost all countermeasures.

Neem and or soap, canola oil are effective here if you stick to it. Check leaves regularly. Above and especially below.
Get a small microscope. Prevention is the most important.

Fungi can still become dangerous. Also read up and down here. You will learn a lot.
 
And Yes. You can do almost everything imaginable with Photos. :)

Automatics need a good start. If something goes wrong you lose time that you can't make up.

On the other hand, I may have been able to memorize the mistakes I made more intensively.

What bothers me is the advertising.

"Beginner Friendly."

Because it's totally hard to operate the timer and possibly adjust the light source. xD

Which photo Strain do you have?

That's the ugliest fucking bud I have ever seen. Of course I am joking, it looks beautiful. With my disability I can't roll joints anymore.
 
That sucks, I hate to hear that. Look into automated cone fillers. Just add cone, bud it grinds and fills cone for you.
 
There is neem for watering.

Some contain canola oil, these only spray.

You generally dont want to spray something on your buds. :P
So use spraying only for fertilization or pest control in the vegetative phase.

And before I forget.
Sunglasses for working in LED light.

About this I do not hear anyone talk, see writing.
It hurts the eyes. Especially the reflection of the light from the tent walls and the reflection in the water as you water them. :'/
 
I was under the assumption that autos were actually better for indoors because they are typically smaller plants. I didnt know that you could control photos and tell them when to switch to flowering until recently.

The photo is blueberry fem, not sure if its a good breed, it came from northatlanticseed as a freebie.
 
Yea you're not supposed to plant directly into super soil generally just a good bottom layer feeder roots grow into. Most times plants being put into final pot are still too small for super soil. That's as far as I go there. I reuse soil by letting it sit with kitchen scraps, yard waste, cardboard, worms, and dry amendments I've never researched super soil in depth. I live in a desert climate I'd have to source everything. I just put back into my used soil what my plants needed when they were in it. I'll let that sit in between grows. Sorry I can't be of more help in this area.
 
It sounds to me like this hobby will take me along way/ill learn alot along the way. Also no need to be sorry you've been more than helpful thus far and i appreciate your responses!
 
Yes sir, if you choose you'll never stop learning. After soil theres fermentation, sprouted seed tea, bokashi etc. Endless rabbit hole
 
Exactly. Photos are much better for this. If you make mistakes, which no one is spared, they can often be made up for.
Certainly, there are now Autos that you can rely on. Good yield possible. But the yield is only part of the spectrum.
I've noticed, for example, that autos effects last shorter. Maybe just imagination.
Or it comes from the on average higher CBD content of Ruderalis genetics.
I also noticed the abrupt drop in effect, which I do not notice in photos. It is simply much more control possible with photos.
Once you work with your first photo, you will notice the difference.
Autos are also cool. Dont miss the exp! :)
 
Imo autos can have a place in everyone's grow. If only doing 1 run indoors, i wouldnt choose autos. Autos you never know what you're gonna get, genetics and size. Autos use more light needing a constant 18/6 schedule. You can fill space out with less photos and pull more weight with better genetics, using the same everything. Imo choosing to grow autos over photos indoors loses in all aspects. The only exceptions are knowing you're growing one of the huge auto girls. I've never had one most I've had a auto pull is a little over 6 oz growing about 30 autos every year. minimum photos pull is 6 ounces when allowed to fill space of course depending on plant count. Growing sog wont get that much. Imo since autos dont need a light change starting them indoors finishing outdoors is ideal since you can flower anytime with them outdoors, 365 days a year. Bringing in them when temps drop below 36°F when I'll bring mine in. Personally I give alot away so I grow autos for weight and multiple strains, photos for genetics

Ah. You can check Strain Data on seedfinder.eu or strains.io, which is the mobile version of the first, if i get it right.
 
Hey, so im still in research/setup phase. i upgrade my tent. I went with at 32x32x63, i didnt want to be restricted by height and now this thing is huge.

Currently im waiting for my outdoor plants to finish so i can harvest and dry in this tent. Once the dry is done it will be game time! I plan on starting with 1 plant in a 5 gal pot. Most likely one of my auto seeds. If all goes well i might try doing 2 at a time.
 
So heres my final build. Coming in at roughly $535. Stuff in bold i already purchased. Other stuff im waiting for my current harvest to be done and dried. [TABLE="border: 1, cellpadding: 0, cellspacing: 0"]

Hopefully this is worth it because its a big investment :) But i guess it beats getting a medical card and paying 50$ for 3.5 grams. Just need to grow 40 grams to offset the cost lol
