Hello all, im marijuana man and i am very new to this website and also kind of new to growing, ive done it before once but before i could harvest they got chopped by someone in my old house who obviously did not approve. Any ways got a new place so going for it again with a much better set up which is actually what i have questions about... i dont know who's gonna read this or if anyone is even gonna find it but i figured i would try forums for the first time. Okay so here we go, im going for the closet grow here... i made a grow box thats 8 square feet (2'x4') and i have about 6 feet in hight to work with and that includes my lighting fixtures ( which i will get to in a minute) and plant size obviously. I layered the walls with Mylar(despite using led i still wanted reflectors) the only problem with the closet is ventilation, i have a small oscillating fan to put in but thats it sadly :/ so now lets get to the lights, i plan on using 2 mars hydro led 300w (132-140 true watt) so all together 264-275 true watts which puts it at 33 watts per square foot and in each square foot i plan on having one 3 gallon smat pots (which is about 10 inches so their will always be 2inches between every pot) i plan on growing them for the first coupleweeks in solo cups till about 7inches than switching to 1 gallons till about 1.5inches than to the 8 3 gallon pots for flowering and im assuming their going to end up being 3 feet tall 3.8 feet tall with the 3 gallon smart pot under it and the lights about 8inches-12 inches away from the plants... im just wondering if...omg i almost forgot!!!! Im using fox farms ocean soil with the fox farm nutes, im comfortable with these products though so i knew they will work and ik how to use them so yeah im just wondering if anyone has any advice? Eventually i will be adding a 3rd mars hydro light for maximum lighting but for now i expect the yields to be in the 2-3.5oz range? Any comments or questions on something i left out i just want to know everyone's opinion on my set up, the good and the bad please thank you and ihope my first forum experience goes well lol
I'm using a Mars Hydro 600W. So I think your lighting is equivalent. I'm growing two plants currently, I think if you add a 3rd light, you will have no problem with lighting the space. I'm a new grower, this is my first grow so I'm not an expert. I am two weeks away from harvest at this point. I think I will be right around 2 oz per plant. My plants were kind of slow in the seedling to veg stage taking about six weeks to root. so after 8 weeks of veg I went to flower. These are Sativa dominant and I probably should have let them veg for another month. So they are a little smaller than I would have liked (but buds are good). I did this on the spur of the moment so my closet is super simple. Grow light on the hanger rack, a fan on the hanger rack, a heater on the floor. I didn't do much anything with humidity or PH of the soil. For my next grows I will expand my knowledge and add some sophistication there. I stuck with simple nutes (Alaska Fish fert. and Alaska Morbloom for flowering). My point....I think you will have no problems. You should grow faster, bigger yield because I did it with so little thought or preparation. Attached a picture of my primitive closet. So....sure you will do well. Good Luck!
so i would use those nutrients. but i would get general organic nutrients like go box. so you dont have to ph them Sent from my SM-N910P using Grasscity Forum mobile app
You're going to need a way to extract the heat and bring in fresh air to the plants. A small oscillating fan inside won't do much at all if there's no fresh air coming in. Look into topping and training your plants to get a nice flat full canopy when going into flowering.
I'm using a Mars 600 278 draw with 120 watts of Cfl's in a 36x20x62 I'm growing to Aurora Indica's there in day 50 out of 63. Your gonna need an Inline cf! if your in a legal state then just get an inline. And a booster fan 4" inch that's all you need. these pictures are 12 days old....
