New Grower Starting my stealth indoor grow

[ryerye]

Hey AFN, been lurking for a while now, but I think im ready to start my first grow. I've gotten my lighting, seeds, and now left with some final tough choices I could use some input on.

1. I'm starting an indoor stealth growth and don't have a lot of space, so Which seed should I start with (2x buddha purple kush, 1x dp tundra, 1x barneys pineapple express auto)?

2. How big should my grow box be? I have one 125 watt cfl and growing in 3 gal pots which brings me to my next question...

3. I am starting a garden in my backyard, would it be alright to use soil from that? All I know is the ph which is about 6.7-7.0.

#1.any of the three will do well in that size cab...

#2. between 2 and 3 square feet , a good avg. is 50 watts per square foot.

#3. I would use 3 to 5 gallon 's with some of the super auto's I'd go up to 10gal. with a nice TLO mix.....

Hey rye and welcome to the site. Shoot over to Intros to let everyone else know you're here. :smokebuds:

GA has you going, sir.
What kind of soil is out in your garden, just the original terra? If so, I wouldn't use that, you would be better off with a store bought mix like Pro Mix or Sunshine #4.

Thanks guys, can't wait to get myself started. And the soil is kind of clay-loamy like. I guess it's too dense for the roots to push through, yeah? I'll just stick with something store bought for now.
