Some help with build

[Guinness1]

Hey all, this is my first post on the forums. I've not grown before but have been researching for a couple years on hydro grows. All the information is there for supplies and whatnot but what I was wondering about was a box size.

I'll list some of my objectives because I figure that will be the best way to inform you of what I want out of things.

EBB and flow hydro system (if you have better recommendations please let me know)

Separate veg/flowering areas
Want to keep mother for clones if possible (somewhat constrained space and I'm not looking for massive yields)

Want to flower 2ish plants at a time and LST them

Area most likely for build is a closet 2x6x6-8ft (d x w x h)

I can build a box larger if it would work best for what i'm looking to accomplish but would be more conspicuous and would prefer not to have to go to that.

Ohh i live by myself so no one to worry about in house

thx for any help guys (and gals)



.... funniest thing i ever heard was my gf saying she'd rather me grow than buy ....

ROFL, well you sound like a man with some wisdom and are not wet behind the ears,,,, thank goodness!!!

Most on this particular webby seem to want to know everything there is to know instantly... ain't gonna happen! However this webby by far is the most friendliest to noobs of the trade if approached right,,, welcome to GC!

Its really hard to say what style of growing is best for you. Jumping into ebb and flow requires some thot and knowledge. Alot depends on your being able to check on them daily or every other day, or even weekly. Weekly is a stretch!

You are correct on 2 separate grow areas, veg and flower... that will speed things immensely and make it easier for you to determine sex. I can tell you now that since you live alone that area will not be enuff for you and GF,,, after your first successful grow you will want more area. lol

Also nothing can mask the smell, either vent it out above your house or carbon scrubb it, no other way,,, been there done that.

Any more questions PM if ya wish... I started like you did and next thing ya know... well.

Good luck

Thanks a lot, I had a feeling the area wasn't going to be large enough and just needed someone else to tell me haha. Would you think increasing the size to a 4x6x6 would fit my needs? I'm not looking to grow anything besides 2-4 plants more than likely just 2.

If anyone else has some advice I would appreciate it, any idea as to good ways to make a 4x6x6 cabinet not look conspicuous lol. I think carbon filter is the way to go because I lease so no way of getting smell out another way.
