Grow space....

Hi All,


Im thinking still of getting a grow on...

So i thought i`d upload some pics of the space that im planning to use...and then turn it into a photo journal of the full steps...making the grow room...and then all stages of my grow...

Can you guys help me with suggestions about the space that i intend to use..as i would like some input as to if the space is sufficent and what to put in there....

The space of the cupboard is...

2m High
50cm Deep
34"/86cm wide

howevr because of the shelves that are already in there it could be made into 2 smaller spaces which would be...

40"/103cm high

and the bottom area would be

35"/88cm high

I am unsure what to do with this space....

1)-I thought i could use the full 2m space and just have a single grow in there...( going on the depth width and height.. what would be the maximum amount of plants that could be grown in this area?

2)- Use the space but divided into the two sizes i have mentioned, and thought would it be possible with the height that there would be to have maybe 2x dwarf grows in there?..was thinking maybe some lowryders in there if the size was big enough for them? (again with the size what would the maximum amout i could grow in this space)

Just unsure really of what could go into the space i have, so would appreciate any input from anyone who has used similar size space or has any experience with dwarf grows.

Would like to hear sizes needed for dwarf grows or also sizes of pots etc...as some places say one size pot, then others say i need larger/smaller ones...all gets a bit confusing!


The other thing is will i have to kit out the grow space with reflective mylar or a similar product... i know the area is already white but i have been told i would have to cover it in reflective sheeting fot the best results.


So far i have my ballast and light (400w hps)
Mylar
Timer
Velcro for the door area
Fan

Pots and compost i will get when room is sorted and grow is ready to start...


Will be ading another post of all stages of this little project.....from grow room to growing.

Thanks for reading pople.

if i were you id take that bottom shelf off, or just move it up if you can. just to open up that space on the bottom, then set up some fans for ventalation then make a large door and lock that shit up. but thats just me

the white is fine you do not need to line it with anything

how about 4. 2 gallon square hempy buckets? each plant could get about 3 feet tall.

take out the bottom shelf keep the top for your clone room with a humidity dome and a couple cfl's.

so i would guess with this set up and your light you will get about 1.5 - 2 oz per plant it will take about 3 months from start to harvest add a week to dry and a week to cure in a jar.

So using the 4.5 gallon tubs how many do you think i could get in the space i have.....

Would it just be 2 or could i squeeze 3 in there or maybe more?

The reason i was thinking dwarf lowryders was that there is 2x 3feet areas and i have read these plants take about 2 months from seed to fully grown......

Was thinking i could grow them at alternate months on each shelf...giving a grow each month.....have read maybe half oz per dwarf so thought of maybe trying to put in 6 plants to a shelf?...again its the pot sizes im unsure of

Didnt know if there would be to much heat in there though if i had 2 lights going
