Ok, so I've decided on a couple of things but not all. Here is what I know so far:
A. I'm growing from two 50-gallon rubbermaids stacked on top of each other like so:
and as you can see, they're not exactly small. The floor area is 33 1/8"L x 20 1/4"W (thats 4.7 cu ft) and they are 29 1/2" tall when stacked together.
B. I'm growing in coco and will hand water daily.
C. Ventilation will be either two small or one large PC fan(s). They'll be housed in an air scrubber I've already designed (you'll see it once I have built it
).
D. Seeds -- I've already ordered some dp masterkush fems from SB and I'm assuming I'll get a freebie as well (requested THUNK).
Here is a sketch of how I imagine a cross-section would look:
Ok, and that leads us to the things I need a little help on:
1. The light(s) -- I could either go CFL or a small HPS. I got ~4.5cu ft of floor space. I'm leaning towards getting a 150w HPS from e-conolight, or I could do a dozen small CFLs. Will the 150w HPS be cooled enough from a pair of PC fans? Will it be right for my situation?
2. Next is the grow/training method. This one I'm completely up in the air on. If you take a look at the pics, you'll agree that head room isn't the limiting factor here -- it's floor space. I'm also growing from seed. I want to fit as many plants as I possibly can and I want to be able to get clones from my favorite(s). Should I lst, scrog, sog, FIM, go strait to 12/12, or just let them grow uninterrupted?
3. This problems deals with the last: I'm not sure on how many plants I can fit in ~4.5 cu ft. I guess this depends on the training method I employ. I could, for example, either LST 2-3 plants or SOG 6 plants. Just remember that I'm growing from seed.
I think that sums it up.
Feel free to answer in a form of 1.-----, 2.-----, 3.-----. Thanks! Any help is greatly appreciated!
