Ok I have been pouring over the forums here for a couple of weeks trying to get all of the information I can. Then last night I happen to find 2 seeds in my latest batch of bud from the dispensary, I'm taking it as a sign, it's time for me to start my first grow!!
I just wanted to through up my design and getting any input from you guys that I can. I'm very open to any help you guys can give. I'm also looking to experiment a little with some LEDS. Also the lower the cost the better.
I found a spot in my closet where I am going to build a semi stealth grow cabinet. The finished interior dimensions are going to be approximately 30" x 18" x 48"
For lighting I'm going to mount two 12 x 12 LED Panels and 6 23 watt CFLs to a piece of pegboard that I can raise and lower in the cabinet

For Vegetative I plan on using 4 23 watt Daylights and 2 23 watt soft whites.
For Flowering I'll reverse and use 4 23 watt soft whites and 2 23 watt daylights
Eventually as time and money allow I plan on getting more panels if they work well and mounting them to the sides of the cabinets for supplemental side lighting!
For ventilation I was going to cut a hole at the top and one at the bottom of the cabinet and mount this box to the top vent to get the hot air out:

As far as hydroponics units I'm going to build my own and plan on basically copying this unit:
HydroFlora Systems for Indoor Closet Hydroponic Grow Boxes / Chambers
As far as the hydroponics setup goes My only question is how many plants do you think my setup will support? The unit I linked to is 10 gallons and has spaces cut out for 14 plants. I'm interested in doing either a sea of green or Scrog grow. but 14 plants seems like it is a bit much for such a small space. I'm going to try and get some master kush seeds from my local dispensary if they have them in stock. The idea of ordering from a seed bank kinda freaks me out a little but if the worst that can happen is a letter from customs then I might risk it. How many plants do you guys think I can comfortably grow/ should build this hydro setup to handle? Will a scrog even be necessary?
Also I plan on doing some co2 supplementation to beef up output but for now it wil probably end up being some yeast and sugar in a 2 liter bottle!
Thats about all I can think of right now, and thanks in advance for any advice you guys can give. The cabinet itself is almost complete, and the lighting and hydro setup will be built in the next week or so depending on how fast I can get parts from ebay!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
