OK so back for another attempt at maximizing my yield, in a small closet, discretely...under a 150w HPS
Rooms 1 & 2- Vegetative:
This here is the ol' vertical 150w HPS NGB from my previous thread which you
may recognize...
These chambers have barely changed except my flowering room is now no
longer sporting the 150w HPS and is a vegetative room. And for those first
timers, technically this isn't an NGB but I stole so many ideas from it that it
deserves to be credited. So now for the new additions across the closet....
Just for a reference in the first pic you can see its directly across from my
old setup... and the second one takes a look inside that window, keep in
mind i JUST finished.
Rooms 3 & 4 - Flowering:
Two new chambers, basic NGB design using 1" PVC to vent the two rooms I
also have an inline fan pulling through the second room which i plant to use
two vent the whole air tight system. Pictured left is my flower room already
in use with a couple church clones and two big ass 125w warm CFLs.
Snapshot of the nutes ill be using and on the right a picture of all lights
running with my closet door open at night!
The plan
Room 1: Lighting is 4x23w CFLs (100w equiv) This room provides home
to my new cuttings and plants will spend the rooting stages and first week or
so of vegetative growth in this room. This room is about 5000-6000 Lumens.
Room 2:Cuttings grow into vegging plants and are then thrown into
another chamber which is going to have more lumens (so far undetermined
what CFL i will be using) than the previous chamber to provide 4 weeks of
vegetative growth. During the last week in this chamber cuttings will be
taken from each plant to preserve genetics and keep an ongoing cycle.
Room 3: This is flower room number one, it has 2x125W CFLs, with an
unknown equiv. Pushing 1100-1200 Lumens in this room, temps manage to
stay low while the plants begin their flowering for 4 weeks in this room.
Room 4: Finally, ripening room is illuminated with a 150w HPS, plants
will move in here for the final 4 weeks of flowering. This room provides out
of the box around 15,000 Lumens.
Every plant will grow under every light as they move from the first room to
the fourth room spending 4 weeks in each one.
The idea is to have one harvest every 4 weeks!
Thats the plan... however I post on here for the feedback so let me know
what you guys think!
Also, I still have not figured out how many plants i will be running in each
cycle so also let me know what you think... maybe 6-8 in 2-Liter bottles, or
just two to 4 larger plants?
Thanks for checking it out!
