This is my second attempt at growing. The first attempt turned out ok (as you can see in my other journal linked with my sig), but I had many problems with pests and low tempetures that left me with a smaller yeild than I would have liked. I have made some changes to my cabinet which I hope will make this go a little smoother.
First I tore out everything including the old 2" insulation.
I caulked the grow area and built a compartment on the side.
Then I insulated the grow area with 1/4" bubble type and added computer fans, 1 for intake (lower) and one for exhaust (upper). Ran all my wiring and mounted my power strips in the side compartment and will run exhaust through too.
Going to use the t5 grow light for veg and then add the 150 hps for flowering.
And heres my little friend I bought at the local shop. Green Crack strain planted in organic soil lots of pearlite and a little dolamite lime. I will be using Fox Farm nutes when flowering starts.
She was badly root bound and showing signs of stress but is looking better already.
My main concerns are tempeture regulation ( it gets cold here and my cab is in an uninsulated shed ) and pest control ( fricken spider mites ).
I am still new at this so feel free to post any input.
