First time growing weed!
I will be starting my first ever grow. I will be posting updates on here!
These are the things I’ve ordered already:
(I wanted to be on a budget of €200 so everything is from AliExpress)
Tent & Light:
• 60x60x120cm grow tent with ventilation
• BST 600WSCP LED (Samsung LM281B chips, ~65-85W real draw)
Seeds:
• Northern Lights Auto (x2) starting with this
• White Widow Auto (x1)
• Wedding Cake (x1) got it free
Other gear
• Automatic drip watering system (programmable up to 15 days interval)
• 5 gallon fabric pot
• 5-in-1 pH/TDS/EC meter
• Universal potting soil + a random fertilizer
My situation:
Growing in my room inside a container (yes a shipping container). Biggest challenge is that I’ll sometimes be away for 1-3 weeks at a time, hence the automatic watering system.
Questions:
- Any tips for being away that long? Will the auto watering system be enough?
- Is universal potting soil okay for a first grow or should I get something better?
- Any beginner mistakes I should avoid with Northern Lights Auto?
- Any further advice? I’ve seen some YouTube videos so I know the basics. Is there something I forgot to order?
Thanks!
