Yet another first timer! Getting ready to start

Grow Support Autoflowers
1

Hello and thank you for reading!

After months of lurking and reading i finally pulled the trigger on a light. I bought the HLG 260W XL QB V2 Rspec. However, i know i need so much more. My grow area is basically just a spot in my spare bedroom. My plan to start is autoflowers in a 2x4 tent. I’m leaving towards the ac infinity 4x2x6.

I’m a little overwhelmed on everything i need to start so here i am!

I guess my first question would be about what ventilation i need. Would the cloudiness t4 and fans be good?

Next panic is grow medium, nutrients, and any other equipment i will need.

Thank you again for any help and wisdom! Look forward to this journey with everyone!

welcome to your new happy place :blush:
You are gooing to get different suggestions for your medium, nutes…I made a list of all the equipment I got and use and i ran out of paper. lol
I use FFOF and Jack’s 321 nutes. these nutes are very easy to use.
I started with 1 crap lite, then another crap lite and finally have 2 that i use. Good luck to you and happy growing.

i would go for 6in ac infinity and get the carbon filter if you worried about the smell.

a 2x4 tent will work great for 2 plants. i have 2 of those HLG lights in a 4x4.

you will need a ph and ppm meter, apera or blue labs are great ones to test you water and run off.

growing medium depends on your preference. i would research on that. a lot use coco that needs to be watered more, a lot use soil (different brands)

nute, plenty use jacks 321 and seems to be easy to use. i started with Fox Farms trio and continue to use it.

humifier to keep humidity at the right levels. a dehumidifier if your in a area where the humity is to high

searching this forum has loads of great info.

Welcome aboard. Decide how in depth you wanna be and research those threads. All you need is up here. I personally am a lazy grower.

It really is a step up in quality from the cheapest tents. You will notice the extra quality.

Well for starters u need to make ur mind up on what nutrients you are going to use whether you so bottled nutes or jacks nutes or Gai green products or if ur going to use down to earth dry amendments and once u have worked that out then work out what type of soil if u go with hp promix or fox farm ocean Forest and happy frog mixed or u go coco this what you need to work out first sorry if this makes things more difficult but its important to work these things out before you spend money on things only to find you made the wrong choice .

If you are leaning toward autopots then coco and jack’s is a great selection. I have the XL with springpots. I recommend putting the autopot tray in a containment tray that will fit in the tent to hold overflow mishaps.

Jacks 321 is really easy to use and a very cost effective nutrient.

Get you some Rocket Fuel soil and Lotus nutrients and a good Ph pen for PH and PPM and you might want to add the autopots , seaweed extract .
