Live Stoner Chat What's going on

[RicanBlazer]

Hello,
Stumbled upon this page on Instagram through random searching. Been a fan of the ganja for a few years and thankfully the state ( MA) I live in just recently made it legal to grow, so I am in a curious phase to hopefully pick a up a new hobby. I've already been searching through the forums and read about a bunch of grows. I'm currently waiting on seeds from Mephisto Genetics (Walter White) and will go the small tent size route for now as my first attempt to see if I even enjoy this process. I hope so because it will be nice to actually know what I'm inhaling and save some $. Still deciding but I'm leaning towards a tent that's around 3x3x5+, LED, 300W+, with one plant going in order to focus better and not have too much going for a first timer.

Happy New Year to all and I hope to learn many things in here!

Hey Happy News Year Eve! Welcome to AFN, You are on the right track with your research and in the right place! Can't go wrong with a Mephisto seed and your setup sounds like it will be great. Good choice!

You will learn so much in the next few months just reading and starting your grow. Everyone here is awesome and extremely helpful. Hope to see your journal starting soon and welcome once again!

Welcome to AFN! Good luck with your first grow. Walter white is a great strain, they should do you well. Do your homework on the LED you plan to purchase, I'd recommend an AFN light vendor for great support. I hope you decide to start a journal, I guarantee you'll get the help you need to succeed in growing your own autos. If you do start one, post your link here and in Live Stoners chat where you will meet all kinds of cool people that will help or get you the help you need.

Good to meet ya
Happy new year!

So..after this post I got an itch and went to the local hydro store 5min from me.
Walked out with a 4x4x7 tent, couple 1g and 5g pots, PH reader, PH up&down, some rapid start root the guy working recommended, humidity and temp reader, and a T5. I guess I will just start the HPS route instead and down the road decide on either 600 or 1k. What would be easier? I have a bunch of random seeds collected and will try one of those and see what happens.

IF you're going with a 600 or 1000w hps heat will be an issue so you'll need to get your ventilation sorted and pick out a good reflector or cool tube. (1000w might be a bit much for that size tent)

So, I went to put the tent together, get the frame set up, and it's a little too tall for my basement... I should have measured instead of assuming lol. I returned that along with the T5 and will be attempting a smaller size. Going to try the LED instead because having one light for the full cycle sounds easier to me. I am thinking of going with a Platinum 300 or 150 with a tent that's about 3x3x5-6. I still need to figure out the numbers matching to what size tent they could work in though, do those numbers sound like a match? I only want to start off with 2 plants at most in 5g pots, if that helps.

I've never used platinum myself so I couldn't say which one to get but you can ask the man himself @PlatinumLEDTom .
