Hi guys, about a couple of months ago I made the decision to grow and since then I've been lurking these forums and trying to absorb all the information I can.
I believe I am ready now and will be buying the bits of wood I need from my grow room this week and then the rest of the equipment when I get paid.
I've researched all my options and I've decided the best combination for my circumstances would be to grow under a Budmaster II - 675XG in a 50/50 coco coir/perlite mix in 20 litre pots. The strains I'm going to be using are Shiva Skunk and Jack Flash, both acquired on my last Amsterdam trip. I am going to grow two of each strain- one as a control and one to try training techniques on. This will be done in a 3 metre cube enclosure, with a ventilation system and a carbon filter.
The decision to go with a LED light was extremely difficult- one of the motivating factors for me creating a journal was that at the moment the only journals on the web using that light seem to be from seasoned veterans (who each had great results) so I thought it would be comforting for someone in my position seeing a newbie having a crack at it.
I'm hoping this will be a symbiotic relationship whereby if I document the whole process from grow room build to curing it will both show people who haven't grown before that it is achievable and it will allow those with experienced eyes to pick up on the inevitable mistakes I will make.
I'd be happy to hear any feedback or advice you could offer as I approach this extremely exciting endeavour!
