So, this is my first post here and I think it's appropriate that I do it in this forum. I hope you all are having a great year so far. Anyway, the reason for me being here, besides loving this community and the Shroomery, is for your help and support for me through my first indoor micro grow in about 12 years. I just found a local hydro shop that had everything I needed to get it started up and now I am just waiting on my seeds and tent to get here so I can hook everything up and get this show on the road, so to speak.

My set up is going to be a 3'11" x 3'11" x 6' grow tent with a 600w MH for veg and 600w HPS(Hortilux) for flowering. The light will be ran off of a Galaxy ballast and cooled with an inline fan running into a 4" X 12" Phresh carbon filter for smell.

I'll be starting from seed in rapid rooter plugs under CFL and then transferring the seedlings to 3 gallon bags of Pro soil less mixed 50/50 with chunky perlite.

The nutrients used will be mostly all Botanicare products including Pro Grow, Liquid Karma, and Pro Bloom. I also have Peak by Soul Synthetics(Aurora). I have a friend that is kind of talking me through the whole nutrient process since I have pretty much forgotten the specifics. Oh, I have Super Thrive as a bonus helper. Oh course I also have PH up and down. I really stocked up, so I wouldn't have to go back to the shop for awhile.

I can't remember all of the strains that my buddy's sending me, but I do remember Sour Bubble by BOG, Sweet Cindy(?) or Cinderella 99(?), Bubba Kush, and like 3 others that I can't recall. I'm not sure on the Cindy/Cinderella strain. I just remember it being named something like that. I should be getting those tomorrow. The tent will be in town either tomorrow or Tuesday since Monday is a holiday.

I have a few questions and I am sure that I will have more later.

I will be doing LST and maybe topping.

How many plants should I realistically try and fit into my tent? Also, should I cool the hood with a smaller separate fan and use my inline fan for air exchange running into my scrubber, or should I just run the inline fan from the hood into the scrubber and have it just pulling air from the tent? I was worried about too much air exchange causing stress. Also, what is a way that I can rig up a tie down system for the LST with these bags? I'm going to try and figure that last one on my own, but ideas from you guys are always welcome. Any other tips for a n00b will be appreciated, as well.

That's all for now. I am excited to be getting back into this. It has been too long.

That's how I get down every morning.  I feel fine in the morning if I don't smoke, but it makes it soooo much better.  Caffeine keeps me from crashing from the massive wake n bakes I have.
