Thinking about taking this out of the closet to make a bigger rig. Maybe I don't need 4lb, what will I need for 3lb?

Doesn't a scrog require a square shape? Each would have to be no bigger than 2'x2'. Actually my tent is <60ft3 so I don't think exchanging air every 30s will be a problem. Wouldn't hydro reduce the height required in a shelf system?

"12in for the planter" to confirm, are you talking about soil or hydro?

Cool thanks guys for resetting my expectations. If I'm not pulling 4lb per grow, what's the best I can do in that space? @justugh, can't I buy two lights and create a shelved solution? I feel like I could get up to eight small plants in there, four on floor four on shelf. @dbkick, what is DE...

I realized I don't want to be growing year-round. I want a year's supply in one grow: 4 lb, and I'm willing to sacrifice my no-fail option to get there, so hydro is in. @dbkick, @justugh: how do I get there in the most straightforward way possible, in my space of 2’ 3” deep, 5’ 6” wide and 8’...

@dbkick, I appreciate your point that it's perfectly reasonable for a first-time grower to do well with hydro out the gate. I believe that and I don't think @justugh is refuting that, I think you two just differ in a matter of degree regarding how safe hydro is vs soil as a fail-safe option...

I'd like to avoid chemical fertilizer in favor of an all-organic grow if I can, especially since the soil and feed are already organic, but if you say it's required with the no-fail option, forever or at least while getting started, I'm on board.

Rollitup team, I came across this herb dryer: http://shop.foothillfilters.com/HERB-DRYER-WITH-130-CFM-FAN-AND-FILTER-DRYER.htm This is the first time I've ever even heard of a herb/bud dryer. I see some people have experience with herb dryers on the forum but I'd like to see if anyone has used...

Thanks, but @justugh is the only one giving detailed advice at this time. I can Google hydro all I want but I'm risk-averse so I'm not building a system unless an experienced grower co-signs on the setup and process. That's why I'm on a forum: I'm looking for personalized advice beyond the sea...

@dbkick My response to your suggestion was a bit curt, but in truth I responded with "justugh and weedenhanced have made a good case for soil" not to shut you down, but because I was and still am eager for you and/or others to describe or link to a hydro system and grow process that would fit my...

http://www.virtualsunhydroponics.com/virtual-sun-grow-tent-76-x-76-x-76 Thanks @Hot Diggity Sog, the 8x8 should do nicely. This is now the tent to beat for my trim. Its only con for me is I'm 6' 4" so I can't just stroll in to the tent without a slight duck. I'll spend most of my time in the...

Ha! In the opposite direction of what I was looking for, but absurdly awesome nonetheless and I'm grateful for having learned this. Thanks @Cannasutraorganics.

Thanks @anohaze, I've previously browsed EBay. I'm looking for specific recos in case anyone has experience with any particular tent(s). Cheers, rothkko

@justugh, to summarize for my understanding, can you please confirm this is roughly the routine you follow? Day: Event 0: Seed 3: Sprout 5: 1st true leaf 36: Flower 71: Harvest & dry 78: Smoke Cheers, rothkko

Awesome, thank you. This aligns with @Hot Diggity Sog's advice. Any reco on a value tent for this purpose? I'm only familiar with the high-end grow manufacturers at this time. Cheers, rothkko

Crystal-clear, thank you. This fits my assumption that if I rig a tent with a carbon filter and fan it will fit my smell requirements. Any reco on a good value tent for this purpose?

Thanks @Hot Diggity Sog, a cheaper grow tent is exactly the kind of suggestion I was looking for. Any specific recommendations from your knowledge? Can you clarify? Do cheaper tents have smell leaks or is there something else I'm not clear on? Cheers, rothkko

It's a closet grow.

I've already clipped the hempy buckets process into my notebook, but nobody has given much detail on how they compare to soil and when and why one might prefer them to soil + organics. @justugh, as a soil user, do you have any opinion on hempy buckets?

I didn't understand that your 78 day number meant seed to smoke. That should do nicely, thanks for clearing that up. Thanks for bringing up the drying process, I was about to ask about that. This article (link) says to dry for 5-9d, press, dry 2d more, press, then dry 2d more and optionally...
