Hey there new to this website but was recommended by a freind i am starting my first grow in a bedroom in a 0.8x0.8x1.8m tent with a 250 w dual spectrum with reflector 4 inch inline centrifugal fan with ducting and eurobarn reflector i will be growing in coco undecided on what size pots and how many plants to do wether i should go for the one in the big pot for first time or 4 in medium sized pots

I will be using some take root
Canna a +b nutes

As i am fresh to all this any tip or help along the way would be a life saver

Will be doin mephisito seeds 1-4 of the following

Sour hound
Chem cify blues
Green crack
Sour bubblin crack m



Also needed some tips on venting as i am growing in a bedroom i can leave bedroom door open 24/7 but was skeptical about having ducting out of windows and no chance of putting in loft would having ducting underneath an open window be suffice t enough with the tent on other sode of room near open door drawing fresh house air into tent As other windows will be open in house

I have no inline fan only using passive vents on tent

Any help is appreciated i will be doing. Grow log starting this thirsday too

Welcome Sharps . You have some great strains there buddie. I would go one plant in larger pot to start just to get your space fine tuned and get a little experience. Just my opinion. Look forward to your first journal

Thanks for the pointers have decided to go with the 1 in a 11L smartpot will flip a coin on the sour hound or chem city blues both look but as get a few under my belt will get used to it im a fast leaner and have always been intruged about growing like ive read the book to ride a bike but never physically done it

is best to plant them straight into the pot will be opting for the 18/6 cycle throughout

When watering the smart pots would it be best to water in a bath when it is still in the light cycle having added nutes and making sure water temp and ph is ok just using bath for drainage

I germinate using root riot cubes personally. Ronin has a thread on how he does it and I have had 100% germination rates using his method. https://www.autoflower.org/threads/germination-the-ronin-way.33891/
As far as watering smart pots. I just have mine sitting in catch trays and water till I get a little run off. I don't really ph my run off.
When I water I use an "accurate 8" soil ph probe to get my dry soil ph and then adjust my water/feed solution accordingly. For example, I like my soil ph to swing from 6.0 (wet) to 6.5(dry). My ph always swings up as the pot drys out. So if my dry ph is higher than I want, say 6.9, then I will adjust my water/feed down to 5.9. This is just what I personally do. Other folks have different methods. Hope this helped. Oh, I also us promix hd. If you are using coco you will run different ph numbers than I do. Best to talk to coco guys about that.
