Hi all, thanks for reading my thread, replies, corrections, input and anything else is extremely welcome and needed! setup:: I have converted a rubbermaid box (2' x 2' x 4'). The box has 2 23 watt daylight CFL, a 43 watt spot light cfl, a intake vent and exhaust vent with only 1 fan on intake. Plans:: I plan to germinate and grow seedling plugs in the box till they are on their 3'rd node or so. Then i plan to transfer them into pots (18' wide 20' deep) filled with Pro gro non soil mix. Greenhouse setup:: Dimensions - 12' x 9' x 7' QUESTIONS!!(lol):: I plan to do a 9ft x 6ft scrog grow (those are the dimensions of the screen surface) How many pants can i comfortable train under that screen. Should i cut down parts of the screen and just do normal plants? What are some defenses for mold? (natural defenses or organic mixes preferbly) Pest control is going to be big. Some pointers for pest control would be nice. I am growing for person use completely but i would like to make the best of what i've got of course, so tips, hints, pointers and verious other thoughts would be nice! yes i am new to growing but i am no newbie at smoking! lol pics so far - I'll post some pictures of the box setup later
bump* in less than 18 hours of putting the germinated seeds in these jiffy peat moss expanding disks these plants are 2 inches tall, and i'm only using 3 cfl's. my new box is still drying, we just painted it a beautiful white. the box is going to have 4 85 watt 6000 lumen grow bulbs and 4 compact floro's that displace 2600 lumens and one cfl flood light that gives off 3200 lumens. so in total that is 39,000 lumens. The box is about 4 feet long by 2 and a half feet wide and 3 feet tall. I am going to use it just for clones. I plan to experiment in a hydroponic bubble bucket curtsy of rumpleforeskin. pic of the 10 plants at 18 hours of being planted..
