@sykes13 greetings new grower with a lot of stuff !
So what questions have you got friend?
I have a couple questions for you.. what are your aims for your grow? And what strains do you plan on growing or like smoking if not sure what to grow?
Time to pop some more beans 😗
@chillbert hi bro yh i have a lot of stuff n no idea what to do with it lol my aim is to just grow my own weed sick of paying for it n running around and i don’t know what to grow really i got some seed from my mate call ak420 so trying them for now n really need help on growing
Ok cool.. so.. couple more questions for you..
Did you buy the equipment 2nd hand/ new/ were given it by a mate? I ideally want to know whether the nutrients you have are for growing in soil or coco...
Also how old are they? Just in case they’ve been sitting around someone’s loft for years..
And do you have a preference of what medium (eg soil, coco, hydro etc) you’d like to grow your ak420 in? It doesn’t matter if you do or don’t, but some ways are a bit easier than others.
Also have you experience of growing any other plants? If so this would likely have been in soil and experience of watering plants would be useful, though not essential.
How big is your tent?
How powerful is your light?
These determine how many plants/ yield achievable in your space. More plants doesn’t necessarily mean more yield btw
Once we establish these you can decide how to move forward.
The simplest choices are to either grow in coco or soil, with in my opinion, soil being the most forgiving to grow in.
Let us know., good for you to be growing your own.. I can still remember my first harvest, the first of many 😉

@chillbert i bought them from my mate he had to get rid of it all asap so i decided to try it n i think bottle mostly new n not opened my tent is 1mx1m ad like to grow in soil i think they’d best for me and my light i don’t know watts it is bro al put a pic to show u
@sykes13 Ok nice 👍
So, last questions for now and first things for you to do... if you’re ready !?
You’ll need to decide where you’ll put your tent.. you will need fresh air going into the tent and you’ll have to exhaust the warm air out of the tent.
where will do be able to exhaust your warm, filtered air to?
where will your supply of fresh air be coming from?
This can all be done in one room that gets its air replenished often (open window for example). You will need to beware of condensation wherever you exhaust to.. use longer ducting to reach where you want it to go.
personally i intake fresh air from a room with the window open.. then it gets vented out via the attic and out through my airing cupboard (after passing through filter ) and helps warm my house upstairs 😊before leaving through open bathroom window. Others here will have other ways of setting theirs up.
A good idea would be to look through the growing guides here at Percys to give you some pictures and instructions to help.
Are you able to set up:
Tent ?
Carbon filter and exhaust fan with ducting?
intake fan?
light with timer set?
In you need help with these get back to us..
Have you got soil to use or are you gonna buy some?
What’s your budget for this?
initially at least I’d recommend started with fresh soil, something premium that can be used with your nutrients (canna terra easily available in every grow shop in uk) and add some perlite to this. It costs about £15/ 40L, enough for 4 small plants or 1 big one. You’ll want 10-15L of perlite as well (£variable depending where you get it and how much you get).
Alternately you could buy a bag of ‘super soil’ for around £40 (Sohum soil or Eco-thrive for example) where you just add water so you don’t need to get your head around all those nutrient bottles..
Id suggest in 1m tent you grow 4 plants each in a 10-15L pot.
once you’ve got your tent and fans set up and your pots and soil.. you’re ready to germinate your seeds!
Hope you’re not too overwhelmed with info.. it does happen.. take it one step at a time and you’ll be fine ..
👍
