Hey all, I'm new here so a big warm 'hello' to everyone
I've been doing heaps of research about growing some plants of my own (The internet is so good for so many reasons) and have come up with some ideal plans for a growbox. Most of the questions I have have been asked by many before, but I think that each situation is different so my case may need further clearing up.
I'm trying to be discrete and I have a smallish house so my box isn't going to be massive or anything. I haven't bought any supplies yet - bar the seeds - but as soon as I can spare the cash (hopefully less than a month away) this is what I will be spending my hard-earned coin on.
The size I'm looking at will be around 2ft wide, 4ft long, and 5ft high. I will be growing in soil as I think that will be easier for my first grow and I will use a 400W HPS light. I bought some White Widow seeds from PlanetSkunk which have arrived already and are sitting here tempting me with their potential
Now, I'm just after a some answers to a few questions I've got:
Will 400w be adequate for my setup? I am considering getting a 600w instead, but I'm a bit worried about the heat it might produce int this smallish space.
Speaking of heat, what sort of fan setup would one recommend? Are both input and output fans needed? The fans I am looking at will either be 120mm or 290mm, but would the 290mm fans be too big for my space? I will definately have an internal fan in there.
How many plants would be good in this sized space and how high will they grow? THis is just a straight frow, no scrog or anything. And, just out of curiousity, what sort of yield would I be expoecting off each (providing they grow well and nothing goes wrong during their growing)?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide a few answers, sorry about the load of questions, it's just that as this will be my first grow I want to make sure it all works out
