I want to take care of my personal consumtion... I've realised it is my single biggest expense, and the single best solution to not supporting criminal dealers and smoking exactly what I want... *I smoke about 1,5-2g per day so every 3 months I need about 200 grams *for personal reasons I...

I've read about rootbound and I know everyone avoids it... bit what is the real effect of it? Is it like the bonsai-tree, it just limits it's growth? maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing.... maybe?

How big should the pots be for an auto strain? is 15cm x 15 cm ok? (6x6 inches)

No matter how well planned, there's bound to be some thewaking when the grow starts... I've been thinking actually that the lamps overhead should be a bit stronger... every plant will have 3 sides well lit plus one above it... so every plant would have 3 26w lapns on the sides and 1 42w above...

Hehe... i'm jus thinking out loud... I'm more interested in are my expectations correct? I should be able to get about 230g of bud out of this set-up, shouldn't I? So it's 15x 26w CFLs... 1800 lumens each... that's 27000 lumens Well... even that's not really a question... coz noone will know...

Oh and I've read both your threads DJ :)

Well... i'm too far into engineering my dream lowrider growbox... I really want to try some of my ideas... so I'll stick to them :) I'm currently working on a better 3d model of the thing... The new question on my mind is could I produce enough to have 1g per day of something of the highest...

wow... The choices! The horror! ;) I am soooo in love with the idea of growing my own little midget bonsai weed (autos). I actually find them really beautiful plants :) But now there is a chance of growing some really great stuff, much purer strains (ruderallis strains still feel kind of...

2700K yeah... not 2100K... too much info to keep all in my head :) So it wouldn't make sense to have a perpetual grow, if I want max efficiency... I'd have to have a 50:50 ratio at all times? Well.. there could always just be two boxes... :D And another question DJ... can't seem to find a...

wouldn't that require that I use both 2100K and 6400K lamps at the same time? I plan on mixing them anyways... but in more an 80:20 ratio... just to get a more "natural" feel to the light...

Hi dyzel! The plan is to grow 4 plants... Being realistic (or pessimistic hopefully) i count on producing 20g of dried bud from every plant... so that's 80g every two months... wich is more than 1g per day... a bit too much but it's good to be on the safe side. :) I was thinking about...

Hi Terente and thx for the reply! :D Heat is exactly the point of having so many vents... I think it should work pretty well with those "corridors" arround the lamps... plus they would be at optimal distance from the laps... Is there any reason a passive intake system would be better? I'm...

Yeah... I guess all the planning can't replace real world experience... I have no idea what wil the humidity be... trial and error I guess :) And maybe a little strange question... just playing here... Would it be extermely wasteful to make bubble hash out of all my crop? How much do you think...

I got a little confused... It may be my noobness, it may be that it's 6 AM here... Isn't CO2 for the plants like oxygen for us? And they produce oxygen that we can breathe by using the CO2? I thought fresh air was needed because the CO2 in the growbox is quickly sucked up by the plants...

So DJ... what about the heat from the side lamps? I'm mostly worried about that heat... I'd really like to stick to the side lamps... I think it gives me an advantage over doing something SoG-y, SCoGy... :P It focuses on fewer plants but more intensly... Am I off here? I'm aslo surprised you...

forgot the top half... There will be one or two 125W CFLs with a reflector on top... and a 100mm carbon filter with a 100mm inline vent... The vent will blow into a chamber with ONA block...

Thx for the quick help again! I'm high and thus sloppy, but here's a rough sketch of the lower part of the growbox. I'll still stick with the 4 plant limit, and this is I think the most efficient way of positioning the side CFLs. I upped the ventilation a bit on your advice, so that now...

Just wanted to let everyone know I have made a few changes in the plan. The big one is I will be building a growbox... The ikea thing is out. :) But I have a few questions. Im still very on the side of doing it hydrophonically, but organic seems like a good option... I am however worried...

oh Iscrog4food, I missed your post... No worries mate. It's an apartment I actually own... but it is a "studio" apartment... just one bigger room plus bathroom...

I'm from Europe, yeah... It's not legalized here or even decriminalised... but you won't find anyone in jail because of his smoking habbit (without selling). Anyway... this thread is not closed at all... I just got some really good advice from a friend, so the design is undergoing serious...
