Disabled Veteran's Personal Use Grow Room - Spot Check My Homework?

I definitely set my bar pretty high, I was hoping for 2 pounds when I started this, but I don't honestly see it happening. I've made a lot of mistakes and such, as all new growers do. I'm still hoping I get at least a pound. If I don't, I'm fairly certain my wife will leave me.

 

The advantage to the tents is so you can more easily control an enclosed environment, as far as temps and humidity etc. It's way easier to manage 2x 5x5 closed spaces than an entire outbuilding like that.

 

Anyways, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your service, and wish you well on your grow. If you end up using any Quantum Boards I would be happy to make recommendations. Best of luck to you my good sir!

 

Honestly I think going with tents are cheaper than fabricating individual rooms. I would just make sure the outter walls of the structure are as insulated as possible and keep going with tents personally. Especially if you're not in a legal state.

 

My 2nd grow was scrog for all 4 plants and yes, it does help tremendously but, I still ended up having to supercrop 2 weeks into flower on one plant and LSTd the hell out of the rest and chopping them down a bit more during flower than I should have ever done. Grow 3 is the learning result of the prior two. It's still experimental and I'm still trying to find my groove but, I'll be using the manifold method to keep them short as possible and combining it with LST as necessary but without scrog.

 

As a beginner who went straight to china LEDs and very quickly found out they are a waste of money, I absolutely believe in QBs. Anyone who I've spoken to that wants to get into it, I try to talk them into QBs, I was really intimidated myself when I first saw them, but once you get one hooked up, you become a salesman screaming it from the mountain tops lol. The money you would save by not using HID is staggering. Not to mention the heat that they produce. So they run your power bill up like a crazy sumbitch, and they create a shitload of heat.

Some people's solution is to run the heat out their window, okay that's great. Now you have a stream of hot air being vented out a window which is clearly visible on a FLIR. With QBs, even if you get say a QB304 like I have, they do run very warm, however if you put a little table top fan on them, you're golden.

 

From one combat vet to another. You are definitely going the right route in growing your own.

Having said that. Are you growing for just you or starting a business? Because your going to have a hell of
an operation with the setup your talking about.

 

Spray foam insulate it and call it a day.

 

Thank God I'm a cheap date. A half will last me a month easy. There'll be plenty to go around when I'm done!

 

I also only smoke to cure insomnia, I'm not a functional smoker at all

 

You smoke an oz a week?! Well this 0311 says holy shitballs!! Yeah there is no doubt you will save a shit ton of money growing your own. Despite making cheech look like an amateur.

And spray foam is more expensive, yep pretty easy to spray in, has a very high R value, and won't degrade like fiber rolls. Probably pays for itself quick considering your room is a separate little shed.
