This OP will start on/approximately 4/20/2008. The medium will be soil no matter what. However the lighting options are up for change and the dimensions can be changed-but only slightly! I have not yet decided on method of growing yet either. SOG, SCROG, LST, what do you think? This can also be perpetual if the majority wishes.
So far my rough calculations are as follows:
Clone Box: 18-24"H, 40"D, 56"W
Lighting: Three 4' T5HO strip lights (http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/itemdesc.asp?ic=HLIFT5SBST4&eq=&Tp=)
There will be 7 Humidity Domes inside this area.
Veg Box: 42"H, 40"D, 56"W
Lighting: One 400w MH centered, and Two 2' 2 bulb T5HO compact, or 2x400w MH? What do you think for lights?
Flower Box: 72"H, 40"D, 60"-72"W
Lighting: 2x600w HPS, or 2x1000w HPS
I'm open on your thoughts as far as products. For Veg I already have 1 400w Lumatek ballast. I am wanting these areas to be as quiet as they possibly can. I prefer to not use hoods for the bulbs as you lose light through the glass. I also would like to not use A/C. I'm open to using CO2 if I feel comfortable with how to use it, and can find a *fairly* cheap CO2 controller(I have a tank and a cheap controller that the needle doesn't work haha). I'm open for suggestions on soil mixtures and nutes. However I would like to stay as organic as possible. I'm not an organic freak, but just prefer to use better products for our environment.
Please keep in mind that in the end, this grow is for TASTE and POTENCY for personal use. I'm not so much concerned with the weight of the buds. I'm only looking to have a large stash of personal.
If no one wishes to comment/put their info in I will go ahead with this grow and choose my own products/items. I just thought it'd be fun for others to get to see someone else use a setup before investing on their own!
Take care everyone, and good luck with your grows!
