Hi all.

I have decided to start growing after my delears have started to become unreliable and i have recently moved into my own place...smile.gif

The question i need to ask is what do i need for a good indoor setup that will yield me roughly 1 ounce every two months, sorry for the broadness of the question. I normally smoke circa 1/4 Oz a month so this is all i am wanting from my setup really, although anything over would be a bonus ovcourse...wink1.gif

I am totally new to growing and need simple easy advice as to what i will need for a decent setup that will be contained within my semi converted loft...!

I have looked at the starter kits and other newbie growers threads but havn't really got to grips to what i need as a rule of thumb when starting out, so am alittle confused as to what to spend my money on...?

I have been smoking for the last 6 years and would love the realiabilty that indoor growing would give me.

This is what i am thinking of getting, i would be very grateful if someone could let me know if i would need anything else or if i am purchasing unneeded equipment...

All from the uk420 shop...

Basic Kit Including:

250w Illuminator Ballast + Reflector + Son-T-Plus (sodium)
Eco-Switch 2 Contactor Relay
205 Gro Tank
Plastic Channel
Top-Plate, Pump
Delivery Tube
Emptying Tube
25 ft Spreader Mat
Acid Test Kit
125 ml Phosphoric Acid
500 ml Power Gro- Leaf and Flower
Measuring Beaker
Adhesive Pads ( FixTop - Plate) }
4 x Grodan 75 mm Cubes + SBS 40 mm
50 ml Clonex, Propagator
3 Metres Black & White Reflective Sheeting

and a Homebox Basic grow tent.

I also am unsure as to what seed strain would be most suited to a newbie grower. I am mainly a Sativa lover and have been looking at the 'Shit' (skunk no.1) strain from mr nice seeds, would this be recommended by you growing guru's, if not, what would you recommend.?

I really do wan't to get all i need first off even if it means spending alittle more £ than i expected.

I hope i havn't blabbered on too much here and hope that i can find friendly advise on this friendly forum..

Thanks in advance.

Jon.

hi jon, dropping the dealer is an inspired move my friend, and now you have your own space you can make it a reality yahoo.gif

any set up (even 1 plant) should comfortably yield an O every 2months (even for a beginner)

most of the components will suit you fine you have mentioned most things, timers are a must, also ph meter, cf meter. you also fail to mention inlet /exhaust fans and carbon filters, these are also a must

there are many loft growers on this site, also many who use the system nft205, it seems you want to start right, so it really depends on how much space you have.

then what type of system, hydro, nft etc
check out some of the other diaries to consider before you buy.
having said that there are many good starter kits to choose from. good luck my man, once you get growin youll never look back wink.gif
