I'm planning a simple first grow. I'm buying 5 feminized seeds and plan to start with just 2 of them. How do i save the other 3?
I'll be using a 10 gallon rubbermaid tub with 2 - 4-5" net pots, 2 - 5-6" air stones, and 1 dual outlet pump. What pump strength do i need?
I plan on using 200watts of CFL lighting, ~100 per plant. I plan on using 100w cool, 100w warm, and running both from start to finish.
I only have about 3ft to the top of the planned grow box, which of course will have lights so less than 3ft. I had planned to LST circularly or in some fashion to maximize my space use, which will lead to a longer veg time. For a 2 plant growth, i feel that the extra yield would be more valuable than the 2-4 week faster harvest. I'd like to hear thoughts on a say 4 week veg vs 6-8 week veg in terms of end harvest. Any preferences/experiences?
Okay the grow box will be the big rubbermaid bins setup i'm sure you've all seen, except stacked the right way and gutted. Reflection taken care of with Mylar or equivalent. Passive intake, probably a 6" computer fan or something for exhuast. DIY Carbon Filter on the outside of the exhaust. And that's it.
Basically grow box, dwc set up, and lighting. 2 plants in 10 gallons w/ 200w CFL's. I don't know i just feel solid about those numbers! And the set-ups have been tested around here time and time again. Seems almost foolproof to me so i figured i'd finally throw it on the board (after reading through so many threads) and have you guys lemme know.
At some point i'm gonna want clones/reveg/something to make me not seed dependent, and of course grow more at once, but that's a whole different thread and i havn't done enough research yet to start asking questions in that department.
Thanks!
