First time growing indoors

Guest

This will be my first indoor and second time growing pot, EVER.

Im wondering whats a good strain/lights/soil/ what ever else i should use. I was thinking about the T5 lights, but im not to sure if they can flower? I would only like to grow maybe 4 plants at a time and have 2 of them in pairs so that i can have 2 plants at week 6 of vegging and 2 plants at 6 weeks of flowering.

Ill be using a washroom, with the toliet and sink taken out, its also got a shower, where im thinking of putting the 2 flowering plants there, and the other 2 out side of the shower.

Shower is 4' x 4' x 7'
vegging room is about the same.

Thanks for reading and the help.

post some pics of the constrution and if your only going to grow 4 plants at a time you might want to consider get a Feminized 5 pack from seedbay so you kno that your getting females and take clones ang go that way.. um as far as lights go for 2 plants a 400w would be great for that space if you ran it as a cool tube or put a nice extraction fan on it to keep it kool. as far as soils go Fox Farms makes 2 really good soils, there ocean forest and there light warrior are great. if you need help you can always ask some of the more experianced growers or keep checking around on people threads for what there doing. gl and be safe and dont use your real name. it will keep you safer.

ahh first time. CFL's i think are good for people who are learning as far as lighting goes. For strain well bag seed will work well, ive gotten some amazing green, because if you look at it bag seed is commercially grown bud so you know you will prolly get a plant that can thrive and produces good sized buds. Other than that i would pick a hybrid.

DKmonk: well, actually i lied. Ive vegged from cfls indoors and then my parents found them. So... you know the answer to that...(they were tossed in the garbage:()

Yah i could only imagine. If you need any help or any more questions just ask, im not a real experienced grower but i do have alot of knowledge due to researching, reading numbers of books, and watching almost every grow video there is. I know a good deal about CFL's because my buddy introduced them to me and he knows a lot about them and has taught me many of things. There is a book called How to grow buds for under $100, well thats as close to the title as im going to get but it's really good and it talks about CFL's throughout the book.

so here are my dimensions. 32" x 32" x 80" its a shower, that i will sterilize. I have some seeds i got from r2, which he got from esbe(thanks esbe), i also have some crosses from last summer(out door grow) esbe's erdpurt x an unknown from esbe. So im hoping it will be a good mix and work out very well. Im planing on using a rubber maid tub, the large ones. Like i said i can only grow 2 - 4 plants, but i think for saftey reasons i will only be flowing one plant at a time, and have 2 other plants revegging from an eralier flower.

So 3 mother plants is what im thinking, on in reveg, one in week 1 of flowering and one in budding stages. All dif strains. AND definetly a purple plant!!! i just love seeing a different color, other than grean. r2 also got some leb 27(47 or something) so im also goign to grow that(black weed?)

Maybe later down the road i will try and mate some plants, like leb and erdpurt see how the colors turn out. Im also looking for like a blue plant!!! but i havent seen so i doubt there are any.

anyways get back to me on the grow space and what lights i should use. i was more liking the T-5m and if i have to an hps for flowering(but i dont really want to, but for a better crop i will.

Thanks

also trying to find a red plant(black, blue, white, purps, any other?)
