Okay, I am hoping to someday grow, although for now I am just reading everything I can about cannabis cultivation... I'd like to list the setup I am going to shoot for, and see if my choices are decent before I spend even a penny on anything.

I am pretty determined to do a small grow, just for myself, here is the hardware I am considering.
1. ~2'x3'x5' grow tent
2. ~250w (actual watts) LED light (either Growblu 120x3w or Kind K3 L450 depending on 'things')
3. 5 gallon equivalent (3.3g actual) Air Pots
4. 60/40 or 50/50 coco coir/perlite grow medium
5. Biobizz BioGrow, BioBloom, and Root Juice (wanting to KISS at first, with these nutes on the BioBizz schedule 1/4 strength, watching for deficiencies, epsom salt around week 3 if needed)
6. Phresh 200cfm 4" filter, 190cfm VenTech inline fan to match, speed controller (?is it needed?), 4-6" articulating fan for movement within the tent

I plan on growing Dutch Passion autos, probably starting with AutoBlueberry and AutoDurban Poison. I have read everything I can find on topping, FIMing, mainlining, LST, although I only plan on LST to maximize yeild in the space. I plan on 2 plants at a time, at least at first, on a Feed - Dry - Water - Dry - repeat schedule. I will be keeping the temp steady around 80, humidity I hope to keep between 40-45.

I'm going to have sticky traps for flying insects, diatomaceous earth for crawlies, and maintain a sparkling clean environment for my future babies.

I do not plan on starting until I can acquire all of the equipment, I don't like doing anything halfway... I am a actual OCD, which I have turned into serious attention to detail. How does my plan look? What do you folks think my odds are for first time success? Thank you very much for taking the time to look this over!
 
Oh... Almost forgot, 20/4 light schedule, and I'll be able to check on them AT LEAST twice a day, if not just hang out with them. ;-)
 
Sounds like a great setup! Love the user name too haha! You're planning to grow one plant at a time?
 
Two at a time, so I can have a nice daytime/nighttime combo. Like NyQuil/DayQuil packs, but much better! I figure with 250ish watts of led light, and about 18x24 space per plant with some LST, I should be able to stay smoky indefinitely. Well, I hope...
 
One thing I am wondering...
Since I will be using AirPots, I don't expect much root trouble, but should I add something like Voodoo Juice to my list of things to get?
 
I have never used it myself as it's pretty expensive. It's by no means essential but I'm sure a lot of people swear by it, so if you got the cash it couldn't hurt haha!
 
Hi T, sounds like a great plan. The only additional thing I would add is cal/mag. Between coco and LEDs you will need it and I believe using it early before you start seeing issues is the way to go.
 
Thank you Oldster, good call! I forgot that is one of the things BioBizz is missing, I will definitely add it to my list.
 
Vodoo is pretty wicked stuff. They have these packages called fab 4 packs with 500ml of tarantula, vodoo and piranha as well as bud candy for 100 bux. A great deal and good for a grow or two if you brew your own with the help of molasses or some sweetener ie bud candy you will notice a huge difference in your root.mass. more root more fruits brother
 
So a fairly basic question I would like estimates on... A noob, who has read everything, growing two Dutch passion autos under 250 actual led watts, barring any problems, is it possible I could get 3 ounces at harvest time?
