Hi!
I am about to start growing for the first time, and was hoping to get some critique on my plans for the setup. I know that the things I have thought about doing and making this cabinet and growing this type of grow is maybe a bit too ambitious, and if so, please let me know.


1. Homemade Carbon-filter
2. Fans
3. Lights 4x 85w CFLs 2x 2700k and 2x 6400k
4. ScroG approx. 2,5 m^2
5. 1x 45w CFL (Both a 2700k and 6400k CFL)
6. Air intake
7. Pots 5x 1 liter and 4x 10 liter

I am going to use seeds from Greenhouse seeds - 5x Super Bud (fem) and 5x Arjans Haze #3 (fem).
I have thought of buying Air-pots 5x 1 liter and 4x 10 liters (Any experience with air-pots?)
The lights will could be risen and lowered when necessary.
I am a bit lost on the whole nute part, but I have been looking at a Atami Bloombastic Starter Box for Soil at hydroponics europe.

The seeds is going to start in 5 1-liter pots in a seedling mix soil, then transfer them to 10-liter pots with soil mixture 50% peat 25% perlite 25% leca, I am going to use a closet/cabinet measuring 130x90x90cm and grow a cross between a v-scrog and a cylinder -scrog. The idea is to make an inverted cone shaped scrog-net with a hole in the bottom (approx. 10-15 cm diameter) and top (approx. 85 cm diameter) From the lower to the upper hole there will be approx. 70 cm and the estimated area of the scrog-net will be around 2.5 m^2. The light is going to hang down from the big hole in the top of the scrog, and a second lamp will be sticking up through the hole in the bottom. I'll be using 4x85w cfl in top 2x2700k and 2x6400k, at the bottom I will use 1x45w but may change between 2700K and 6400k depending Vegge / bloom. There will be an air intake at the bottom of the closet, and a homemade carbon filter at the top, I haven't decided on these measures yet.
I will be going 18/6 vegge and then 12/12

- I have been looking at grows, reading books and threads like mad for the past couple of months now. I haven't got a clue if this even is possible as a first time grow, or if the specs are right.
I would be very grateful is anyone would give me some feedback.

no unstable female seed ... you could hermie it ending up dissapointed. by yourself some solid normal seed

second, sex them in the 1 liter pots, don't be using 24 hours, just 18-16 hours..

third take clones..

I have no clue what your scrog thing is.. so no comment on that

airpots, I think they look ugly as hell, I would never put my plant in that.. but some people love them..



my biggest advice.. don't overwater, don't over feed, don't use additives, and keep it simple as possible



have fun

on nutes, I have found organic to be the best, pH is not a real worry as much, and you have more buffer

if you are in Europe, I highly recommend biosevia.. best nutrient Ive used and I pay to ship it into the US that's how much I like it

I really wouldnt mind checking the pH, still, I dont know how much work goes into getting the pH to an optimum, but ill definitely take the biosevia into consideration.

I was inspired by Z-Beeblebrox to try and use google sketchup, the measurements are aproxx. but I hope this is more logical than my first drawing :)

Any thoughts?

Sounds like a damn fine plan to me. My first grow here, I knew NOTHING about ScrOG, DWC, EC and precious little about pH. Following your method exactly, looky what I got stuck with...



Darn you IC! Darn you all to heck! Po' Freezer's got too damn much weed :badday:
