Hello all! new member here

Post by goldap1 »

I dont really know what to write down here lol..
my username is goldap1 and i smoke weed since i was in high school!
mostly a casual weed smoker tbh, like 1-2 times a week socially, i never really felt the need to personally smoke weed myself, until i had some problems a few years ago that when i discovered smoking it helped my health. so i never actually thought i would attempt to ever grow cannabis but here i am preparing and researching what i need!
also i live in the U.K so hello anyone from the U.K!
i was gaming a few weeks ago and in teamchat one of my friends from Romania mentioned he grew his own weed personally, so i was intrigued. he talked about things called "autos" and i`ve never heard of them, i thought he meant like a weed name like Star dog or haze or blueberry.
( i know now xD kinda i think they just grow no matter what sorta)
he told me the website he bought the seeds from and i bought some there and thought ok lets try 1 plant and see what happens.
i`ve seen the massive weed farms on TV etc and growhouses from drugdealers on police programmes etc, i dont plan to do anything like that, just maybe 1-2 plants MAX at a time.

i think im already writing too much!

basically i wanted some advice on quite i few things but not sure if this is the correct section to ask so i`ll leave it at that for now.

greetings all, :bye:

Hello and welcome mate

Your in the right place for all the help you could need

I guess the main questions will be how much space you have devoted to the hobby and how much far along the process of setting up and planning you are?

Any questions, I'm sure plenty of members will have lots of helpful information

Make yourself at home and have a good read about the threads pal

Hi GMO thanks ^^

i am not too great at measurements and numbers, the best way i could describe visually is say 1-2 phonebooth spaces, if that makes any sense ><
i have a small store room thats already being used to stock some stuff we keep for winter clothes and gym stuff etc, buttheres a small section that i would like to put a small growtent up in and try to plant 1-2 seeds.

as far for what i`ve done and bought for prepping i already bought some LED full spectrum grow lights (hopefully its the right one and it works) and already have 6 seeds i bought earlier from a website, i wont post the name because i dont know if i am allowed to promote website etc.

i dont have any soil yet but was planning to use just regular soil from the garden store, also i`ve seen a nice grow tent i would like to buy but i`m not sure if its the right one for me or not, i`m not sure if i am allowed to post the link so i wont, maybe in PM but im not sure how that works lol.
also there are holes in the tent for fan/extractor or carbon filter i think its called, i read up on them and how to install them i kind of know how to do it but tbh havent really found any videos on youtube that properly show you how to do it, not for me anyway.
i was planning to water them with tap or rainwater but after some reading it seems i really have to pay attention to somthing called PH and use some PH tester on my water to make sure its around 5.5 to 6.5 i think if the numbers are right, i hope i understood that correctly at least.

my next step is to buy the grow tent then set it up with the light and then begin to germinate the seeds!

Welcome to the Growroom.

The cheapest way to grow is in soil, as there's less equipment to use and an easier learning curve.

Fyi bud, links are welcome for educational purposes. It's only direct advertising that would be a problem. But sharing links is kinda needed some times

When it comes to led there is a lot of misinformation and "comparative" power output. This can be abit of a minefield tbh with you, but once we know what your working with we can help better

2 phone boxes... I'm gonna say about 1.5x1.5x2m ish at a guess but you really wanna get your gentleman's tapemeasure out and confirm, especially if your planning on spending money on a tent

PH is really not something to worry about at all in soil unless there is a major problem

I would also say that auto strains are alot less forgiving to learn with. They are on the clock from the start so you really need to get things right for it to pay off. Photo period seeds are alot more forgiving as you have control over when flower starts, so any issues and be resolved before moving on

With that being said. Well prepared soil and some good research will always help your first run go alot smoother if you do choose to run the seeds you have already
