Hello Mr OMM sir, I am sorry to ask through one of your journals, but I am unable to send PM, which I suppose encourages this kind of interaction. I see that you have great credentials from peers who clearly feel you should be recognized.
Aannyyywwaayyy, I am unsure of how much to divulge here, but I am in need of your knowledge and the other 'vets' of 420.
I have yet to embark on my own grow, but have had close interaction with a few over the past 10 years. As I finally am about to commit financially and I hoped you could offer your views on the very early, but hugely important, decisions.
I assure you I have done my homework, and will explain briefly, what I have decided and what I am unsure of. Input on all and from all, would be hugely appreciated, as mentioned, I have only watched, never done.
Again, if this kind of post is inappropriate I apologize, but I just want the answers from the best. Thank you.
Container - Undecided - Wardrobe Conversion / DarkStreet 90 or similar
Light - veg - 300w equivilant CFL (blue)
Flow - 250w or 400w HPS
Nutes - have read around 'high brix' and understand the theory. However, my knowledge of nutrients in general is limited.
GB grow so not sure if FF is available, probably use Cana or AN (if affordable)
Medium - Again understand the theories, and would prefer soil-less. I have seen quite a few simple set ups, Pot and pump, holes in pots with pertile (Sisco), pertile in bottom 2in and soil, Supersoil (which sounds similar to high brix imo).
With nutes and medium, I need someone much more experienced to say "First grow. Get these nutes and use this medium". I have considered hydro or aero, as I have seen the increase in production, hands down, but am hugely concerned that I will be yet another non starter with a few £££ in the bin.
Strain - I am enjoying looking at attitude but even this is overwhelming ("I really like Dr Grimspoon" - but there a very few journals with it included, wonder why lol) Have looked at critical jack, critical ww, but any suggestions on big yield, 8 week, big hitting indica. I have seen a few cycles of Great Whit Shark which seemed 'idiot proof'.
And I get that I'm going to need Mylar, thermom, timer, clips, pots, propagator, spray gun, ph etc etc but due to being unsure of what method / medium I can't exactly pin down what I need ie ECU, ppm.
I ask, in this complete hijack, can some who knows, put all the information I have read, suggest the best option and exactly what is required of me to make my dream a reality. Best place to get all this stuff, what is best to get local and what is best online.
I defo love scrog , and have literally read all of your journals!!!!! I have read up to about page 3 of most viewed running journals, and a page of completed. I am inspired.
If I need to re-post somewhere else, please tell me. I am very new to this discussing cannabis cultivation.
Olive oil sounds good.
