I am in the planning stages of a Hydro ScrOG Setup for my smallish closet and looking for some input for this stealth grow.
The closet dimensions are 34.5" Wide x 18.5" Deep x 8' Tall. I plan to divide the closet so that the top chamber is used for flowering and should have enough height to mount the screen 8-10" above the top of the DWC Res. I will be using a 250w HPS Lamp w/ a built in ballast. There will be a set of 4" Vents on the top of the closet which will vent into the attic. The vent for the flowering chamber will use a carbon can filter. The second vent will run to the mother chamber. The fan will be a 265CFM Cage fan, again located in the attic to cut down on the noise. I will use a 4 - 4 splitter to vent both the mother/clone chamber as well as the flower chamber.
The Flower DWC will be a 10 gal rubbermaid container with two air stones. I will use a dual air pump for this and run individual 1/4" leads from the air pump to the stones.
Air intake will come from the wall which leads into another sealed off area beneath my shower. There is a 4" vent from the outside of the house, which there appears to be a clear air path from this vent to the chamber. There also is a drain here that I will use to drain both mother and flower DWC Res's using 1/2" PVC. I will use separate air intakes from this area into both the mother and flower chamber. I'm unsure on the size but I plan to make sure there is enough negative pressure in the closet to keep things warm when winter comes. This area of my house (closet and tub) get pretty cold, so as a precaution I will be sealing off the hole after running the vent/drain and using insulation for both the floor and seal.
The Mother chamber will be the remainder of the height left over from the floor up to the floor of the flower chamber. I will be using 4) 22" T5 lights.
I plan to use a common mother/clone chamber for simplicity sake. I'm hoping that I can root the clones in rockwool in the 3" net pots and then have them take kindly to a mild nutrient mixture for both mothers and clones (hopefully around 600PPM).
Anything that I've planned wrong or if something jumps out at you, please offer up suggestions. Please note, that I have not ever grown before and also have no experience with Hydroponics. I planned out this closet to offer my enough simplicity to grow with ease, however enough challenge for me to learn quickly.
Hopefully, I will be able to yield 6-8 ounces every 3-4 months.
