I've been reading for a long time now, and I'm about to get the materials to get started on a perpetual, stealth, closet grow. Thing is, I'd like some reassurance on my plan before I go out and make the thing ![Stick Out Tongue :P :P](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Ideally I want two plants per harvest, and have 3 pairs going at a time (so about 3 weeks in between harvests).
The space I have available for growing/flowering is:
1' 8" deep x 3' 6" wide x 5' 6" tall
The space I have for clones and some vegetative growth is:
1' deep x plenty wide x 2' tall
Neither I nor my wife want to have to pay attention to this setup night and day (we both have careers and lives to attend to). From what I've read, a homemade ebb'n'flow setup seems the best for that. I was thinking of setting up a 2x3 area for the plants and doing them SoG or Scrog style under a 250 watt HPS that I'll manually adjust to stay >1.5ft above the plants.
And of course, I'll be setting up fans, a carbon filter, and some ONA =)
Also, once I get more familiar I want to make some hardware/software to automatically monitor the harvest, since I do that for a living anyway![Stick Out Tongue :P :P](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So... am I being an idiot? Will typical indiva/sativa hybrids not do well in that space? Not using enough light? Anything?
Or should I go ahead with this? ![Very Happy :D :D](/styles/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I appreciate any help! I've been reading a lot, but .. with all the conflicting opinions, it's hard to tell if I actually know anything :\
