Hey all, been lurking for a while, gathering info and being inspired, and have finally decided t put together a DIY micro cab growing autos. I am figuring 4 plants.
It is a small cab, 16 inch by 16 inch and about 3 feet tall. I will be running CFL's 70-125W, in dirt, all natural, small fan to keep the air flowing. It is a really basic grow, to test the waters so to speak, and I had a few questions about the grow, but most specifically the strain of choice. Well here we go.
Is 4 plants too much for a cab that size? And will a 125 w CFL do the Job?
In a box this small, is LSTing a viable option? Or is the yeild impact too insignificant to make a difference.
Is staggering autos an issue? I'd like to stagger my plants so I can crop one, and have the next to crop a few weeks later. As long as they are in the same grow stage, and thus using the same light routine I figured this wouldn't be a problem.
I'll also be painting the innards white. Now, which white is the question. I figured glossy white generally reflects more light, but I see alot of people using flat white. Is there a difference?
Most importantly, as I am new to not only the auto game, but the grow game in general I need to choose a strain. Most AF's potency should rival or straight up demolish the stuff I get locally, so potency isn't too big a concern. I however would like to maximize my yield as much as possible. So I was hoping to get some suggestions on that that. I have everything I need around the house, just gotta choose, and put together the green for a few beans, but that choice is a tough one, especially with no prior strain experience.
Any other tips, suggestions or help is much appreciated. Note, I can't go any bigger on the box, and want to keep the grow as minimal as possible, so the CFL's atleast for the first run are there to stay.
Many thanks.
