Hey micro growers, I am in the planning stages of a 2x2 tent grow. That is the space I have to work with and the tent would be much preferable to building a cab of some sort. I would like to have another smaller box/tent for a mother but that is another thread. Probably the Jardin dr60.
Please take a look at my plan - I'd love to know if something is amiss, if you'd change something (and why), etc.
As for lighting I am thinking of doing pl-l or a mixture of pl-l and LED in the future. I am most likely going to go with the AHsupply kits for ease of construction and I really like those reflectors from my old aquarium days. I can get as many as I can physically cram in there but 220w (4x55w) seems like the way to go right now. At 4"x17.5", with a little wiggle room in between each reflector that is pretty much my limit for a 2' space and I wonder if a fifth would be worth it with the small space and added heat. I will supplement with LED in the future and remove the PL-Ls as I go - hopefully this won't be necessary right off the bat because of heat issues but that is definitely a concern. I am not looking to use HPS at the moment - I like the spectrum mix n match one can achieve and experiment with for pl-l bulbs.
Doing some easy soil mix unless I research some more and think coco or something would be better, but won't be messing with hydro, reservoirs, etc. I am very attracted to some of the minimal feeding/water only mixes right now. Rootbuilder/airpots seem like something I would like to try out as well.
I am thinking a SCROG will best take advantage of the lighting and space constraints so I'll be trying that out. Perhaps a multi-strain like Verdant does. Maybe a SOG later if I get a good mother going and it proves to be a better option.
Filtration I am thinking something like a phresh 4"x8" or a 4x12. From what I gather it seems a 150cfm fan should do the proper exchange, but how does one account for the filter in that figure? I can't expect a 150cfm fan to operate at such with a canfan stuck on it right? Depending on the fan I may have to add a duct silencer as well and that would further reduce the airfoil I would think.
If you've been kind enough to stick around this far, sound ok? advice? complaints? favorite scrog strains? Favorite mix for bulbs?
thanks for reading
