alright folks,

having just moved into a house that has a huge built in wardrobe i've decided to fulfill my lifelong ambition of growing some smoke. my plan is to place a board 2 doors along and stop one of the doors opening. this will give me a space a meter deep at it's deepest(75cm at the shallowest) and 1.7m Wide. The deep part of the wardrobe is about 2m high and the 75cm wide part has a shelf in so it's about 1.8m high. the shelf is open at the end so i intend to have a carbon filter on the shelf and a pipe going directly into the loft where there will be a fan to pull the air out of the room through the filter and will blow it into a chimney breast and away. for lighting i'm intending to hang a 600w hps in the widest part and a 250w hps under the shelf in the narrowest part, my plan eventually is to have 8 fast flowering autoflowers on the go at once, one being ready every week and another seedling going in.

for my first grow i'd like to try growing 6 autoflowers in a 6 pot autopot system. is this suitable? the medium i'm going to grow in is a 50/50 perlite and coco mix and the nutrients i've decided to go with are advanced nutrients ph perfect sensi bloom and sensi grow, will these be adequate throughout the whole grow? i have a limited budget and i'm growing this to invest into buying stuff for the next one so i'd just like to get my bearings and come out with something smoke-able at the end.

Another thing that's puzzling me slightly is can i germinate the seeds in the coco or do i need to sprout it in something else and then stick it in the coco? i've red that autoflowers don't like being transplanted as the life cycle is so short and stunting them for even a few days can affect it big time.

thanks for taking the time to read this and any advice is appreciated.

some one is on there way to a nice garden...looks too me you got the room for 10 to 12 ?
 
thanks,

i think i've got the plan for the grow room pretty covered. i forgot to mention i'm also going to have a 4" flexi from the loft to the floor with an adjustable fan on the bottom drawing fresh air in for the carbon filter to extract out of the top.

do you think that the 8.5l autopots will be big enough to grow in and the 2 feeds will be enough to sustain them all the way through the grow?

sorry for badgering you with questions but these are the only issues that are stopping me getting on with things.

nobody knows if those feeds and pots will do me? c'mon guys i'm raring to go here.
 
And your not badgering bro sometimes it just takes awhile for people to answer your questions since there are a lot of people on here so just be patient and someone will help you with anything you need.

He's right, just give it a day or so (or, in most cases, a couple of hours). Someone ALWAYS sees your post and will reply. Nice grow space!!! Plenty of room in there for a few!!! Can't wait to see the finished pics with ladies growing!!!!
 
That's roughly a good start bro those both should be ok for ur first attempt ....the biggest issue u will have is Ph ...
Since you are going AN u should only have to worry about ur soils ph. ....sometimes u might need a slight adjustment with the soil ....
Also man growing alot at once can be very demanding ...
I started out like this Multiple strains and all sorts of shit ...
If u running all the same strains u could be a lil easier ...
If they are all different u could be asking for a headache as they will all feed different ...
Good luck bro ....there is alot of AN growers here so someone should come along with better advice as to what extra feeds will help ....
If u have a chance to get anything more maybe the Overdrive and the silica blast by An ..
Or the Bud candy I see these on alot of AN GROWERS LIST !!!

WELCOME to Afn as well ...
 
the pots will be fine, they are big enough! and the nutrients you have will be will be fine all the way through, just make sure you start at like half or quarter strength and work your way up to prevent nute burn.
