First grow

[shucky1950]

Hello guys, I am about to start my first grow ever. I bought 50 kalashnikova green house seeds, and about to plant them in a garage of total 14 square meters, and I have few questions:

1. How many lights do i need to cover them all? What intensity should they be?

2. How big should the pots be? Measured in liters or gallons whatever.

3. Anything else I should be aware of? This is my first grow and I know almost nothing about it, besides the stuff i was reading online but didn't understand all...

4. Thank you all for help in advance

you really should start building up a growroom, a garage is fine if you prepare it well.

all this must be done before you put any plant to a pot, how many light?

how many watts you would like? whats the plan about gettin air in and out of your grow space.

put 50 seeds to pots is the last thing you should worry about. if you take 1k bulbs i'd say atleast 4. but im no expert in this large spaces.

the right reflector does the trick on bulbs. how much money you plan to spend for building up this?

good luck, and peace

Thank you for your reply, to be honest i have no clue how to prepare a grow room, is there a guide, link or video i can see how it should be done? Also about the fresh air, i was reading somewhere that air in the growing room must be replaced with fresh air every two hours. Now i am not able to do that since im working and have no time for it. Also nobody of my friends/family cant do this coz i dont want anyone to know about it and would rather like to stay a secret... So is there any other way i can do this? Like air-fan or something can it help? My budget is $700 - $900 to invest for everything... Will it be enough? Kind regards!

first time.. start small and work your way up...

theres so much to get your head around.. so you need to learn first.

no point spending 1000's of dollars on grow room and seeds.. and have no idea how to use it, will just be a waste of time and money.

a good place to start would be a 400watt hps or 600watt hps in a wardrobe or closet.

a 600watt hps is good for a space of 1.4mx1.4m a 400watt hps will do 1mx1m

youll need intake and exhaust fans.. also youll probably need a carbon filter for the smell.

growing plants is easy.. once youve got the space right to do it in. Dont get the space right then youll have trouble growing anything.

hi man, well that's a big plan you have there ^^ I kind of agree with Sukon on the point where you should maybe not start with your 50 seeds as it is your first grow, cause if you fuck them p. then you will have loose 50 seeds and that sucks. I think at least 1 run with 6 plants is a good thing to start with, 1x600w some fans and nutrient in a growroom and you will learn the basis and at the same type learn how the kalashnikova is growing and what she likes, and so next time when you will make it bigger you will really optimize your grow.

For the Fresh air it indeed needs to be changed completely every few hours, but it doesn't mean someone has to open the door hehe It mean that your air Extractor that you will have to buy should be powerfull enough to empty the surface of your garage every hours more or less. You will also need an intractor or inline fan to allow fresh air to come inside too. Have a look in the Grow guru section or grow room design section you will find infos on ventilation etc..

For the lights it's kind of dificult to say, how are disposed your 14m²?? more or less 4x4m?

Have a good day
