    My intention is to do a small one plant low energy hydro Scrog grow.

    The grow will be in a small closet in our living room - the space is 31" tall 20" deep and 24" wide. and will be based on the very well documented Aerogarden: Pimpass Mini-Scrog™
    This cabinet is only passively ventilated and the setup needs to be quiet.

    It seems to me that the height limitation is my biggest problem so I was going to use this sterlite container ; and a 10" bubble stone; at only 6" tall it has the same volume as the 5 gallon grow buckets.


    For lighting it seems that LED is my only solution and i was going to use a 90w UFO setup or the 63 watt setup Hydro Grow LED

    Questions:
    So is my idea feasible given my height/noise and ventilation constraints and can I reasonably expect a worthwhile yield? (1-2oz dried)

    Would the shallow bucket negatively affect the plant?

    Can I use cheapo ebay LEDs with the same results?


    much appreciated!
     
  2. 1/2 gram per watt per month of flower

    based on your wattage.. i'd say no way... watts are watts... and while you have a sweet light... its still low wattage...

    you should still grow it out though... its a super learning experience, even if it fails

    if you don't fail, you have something to show for it and it might only fuel your fire for a larger bigger grow..... so do your small grow... see how it goes
