tell me what the fuck to do

[UncleBuck]

just wanted to see what you guys would do in my position.

i've got a spare bedroom that is 10.5' x 14.5 feet. sadly, it only has 15 amps to work with, so we're limited to 1200 watts between three 400w lights.

temp control is easy, i can crack a window and let fresh, cool, air balance out the heat from the lights. smell is not an issue and i can vent anywhere i want, straight out the window or up to the attic.

i want to know what the great minds at RIU would do to maximize yield.

my initial, half baked plans are the following: the three lights will hang down from the ceiling vertically. under each one will be a kiddy pool. the kiddy pool will be on top of a little frame with caster wheels so i can spin it around like a lazy susan. i might even put lazy susans inside the kiddy pool too to make rotating the plants easier.

i'm not even sure whether i should kick my own ass for such a stupid idea, or pat myself on the back for innovating a makeshift vertical grow.

the goal is to maximize yield out of these three lights. any guidance, criticism, angry tirades, or dick pics are welcomed.

Run a new wire and do it right buck. 10x14? I'd be rockin 4k in there with co2

fuck the 400's

my 10cents

Edit: wire em for 220

 

[joe macclennan]

course then you would need ac/vented hoods etc,etc,etc

nowhere to run them to.

with the wife out of the house (which is built to 1950's code), i have every amp accounted for. may even unplug the fridge to run more watts to the veg room.

 

[joe macclennan]

electric stove?

I'm assuming this will be in Bucks wifes new home where he can't remodel the place.

running a wire isn't exactly "remodeling"

no need for AC, i can send in as much 45 degree fresh air as i would like.

can't change the outlets to 220, either. rented house and all.

i have another 3600 watts planned for the garage and 1000 watts for veg in the laundry room. so this room is just bonus.

but i want to make it as nice a bonus as possible.

Ah, her old house with her gone until you move.
Without a new electrical service to the house you're pretty limited.

no, this is in our current house. i won't be growing in our cali apartment at all.

not gonna unplug the stove, i need it to cook. i might unplug the fridge, as i buy my groceries daily and it's cold enough outside in the winter that i can keep my beer out there. but if i do unplug the fridge, its electric is already accounted for.

In apartments, running a new wire could void your lease.

i'm thinking growing weed in an apartment could void your lease as well.

it's not her house or my house. it's our house.

and really, it's not even our house. but the landlord never stops by, not even for annual inspections anymore.

i don't care about running more electric. i've kept my bills paid with just 2200 watts in the garage for a while now.

not looking to go huge. just want to make the best use of my new space which is limited to 1200 watts.

got any suggestions on that?

Sounds like a bonus to me.
Wish I had the extra space and lights.

Try a CFL grow.

it could be a nice bonus. i have all the room in the world and optimal conditions to work with, i might finally be able to get over the 1/2 gram per watt threshold i've been stuck at.

hoping someone familiar with vertical growing can stop by to tell me if my half baked idea might work.

 

[UncleBuck]

Try a CFL grow.

try a running go fuck yourself.

alternatively, try being useful.

Hmmm, You're not that much of an expert like your title says?
and I trusted you.......
