yea, i got some massive starting help with this grow from gr0wer but still have a few kinda vauge parts of my plan. i started 3 of each variety i have (mango, nl5, and haze) and i put about 2/3 of a 16oz plastic cup full of soil and moistened em, put in seeds and ect, covered with saran wrap to keep moisture and i check cups every 6-12 hrs. anywho the plan for thr grow is i have a cabinet that i just under 4ft i have a 1000 and a 400 mh and a 4ft dual flouro light. so i cant fit flouro in there( by about a cm of space) so its on a slight angle but seems to give even light distribution. the cabinet is about 27-28 inches inside hieght and just under 4ft length and is 22inches deep(crazy dimentions eh) anywho im planning on have maybe 3-6 good females and just using the 400 witha hps conversion bulb wen flowing time comes. and i would like to do this grow scrog style so i have the least basic plants with most possible buds. so i basicly have 2 questions. would one of the average computer fans/muffin cooling fans work fine? i was thinking of having some hole in the bottom for passive intake and 2 fans on the back up top to draw away the hottest air from light and suck up smell. and heres where it gets difficult i have to have this realatively smell free. seeing as my residence is fairly small (32x32 ~.~ ) so i was wondering on any 'homemade' techniques for removing the odor. i heard that using a box of crushed charcoal and forcing the exhaust air through it works?? does anyone have any expiriences with this method? and what would some other reasonable ways( meaning im a cheap bastard ) of removing the smell from the cabinet. any and all random info about my grow or even remotely relating to my grow would be infintesimaly appreciated i wonder if infintesimaly is a real word? ) plz help the newbie ><
i dunno about putting a 400w in those short of dimensions..... its gonna be extremly hard to ventilate a 400w from burning the plants when its held like 2" from them... but if ya can id say go fro it... i think your gonna need a bit more than 1 fan though (like 3 or 4) to vent that light.... and a super sheap air cleaning method ive heard of is leaving fresh ground coffee near the exaust... that way your house always smells lke fresh ground coffee.... just give it a stir one every few days and change at least once a month i think it would work
yea, the way the 400 would work is the ballast would be on top and the light would not actually be in the cabinet and would have a glass cover on it for easier ventalation. so the lights would be atleast 1ft from plants at all times. so coffee eh? who woulda thought ~-~
