O.k. heres the scoop, I just finished my last rubbermaid bin stealth grow with 10 cfl's. I'm ready to step it up however, I just ordered seeds from gypsy nirvana seed botique:

They are Strawberry Haze Feminized.
(Info on website)-
**Flowering indoor: Most growers harvest after 10 weeks. A week longer will allow maximum flavor. Yield 500 to 600 gr/sqm.**
THC: 20.4%
CBD: 1.2%
CBN: 0.9%
I wont have to worry about plant height im an effective LST'er, i tie those bitches down.

They should be tasty, but Im debating what equiptment I should use for this grow. Ive been told you can yield up to a Gram Per Watt with the right lighting,(please correct me if im wrong). Now considering im not GOD, and im not going to be perfect imsure Im looking at yielding up to 3/4 of a gram per watt.?? Is this about right

Here is what im interested in purchasing for this grow, I need specifics to know if my air circulation, light temps, water drips, centrifugal fans and organics will work out.

This is my next shopping list so far. PLEASE anyone with experience help me so I can get this list perfected.

(My goal is to grow 8 plants, with a 5-6 week veg period and full flower. I would like to yield close to a LB this grow) TELL ME what i need if i dont have it right already. THANKYOU

First off, price budget **900$**

--Im investing in a Home-Box Small version, its 31.5"x31.5"x63". Thermal protected. (Im planning on growing 8 plants, all soil in growbags).
175 $

--A green genius auto waterway system, (you fill a resevior and it pumps out, it has 10 output ports.) My question is WILL it pump an organic tea blend? I use all types of things in my water but im getting lazy will this thing still water my babies if i simply fill the tank?
50$

--LIGHTING- Yield-master 1000 Watt MH/HPS w/ tempered glass hood and external ballast. (My question is will this light be to hot inside of a ventilated quality hood hanging inside the Home Box. , second will a 435 C.F.M. Cetrifugal fan be appropriate for this light with ducting pushing the heat out with the fan.)--See below for details on exhaust and carbon filter.
Also any opinions on the HORTILUX HPS bulb, they are pricey but the watt % could yield way more. let me know
350 $

-- Like i said i want to use a 1000w light inside a HomeBox grow. I looked up the Value-Line 6" Centrifugal Fan, its blows out at 435 C.F.M. and only uses 1 amp. Will this be sufficient with aluminum ducting and the correct installation with the grow hut, I would mount the fan with a suppresor on the outside of the box.

--I also will most likely invest in a carbon filter for my exhaust hole in the HomeBox. I looked up a C.A.P. OZN-1 ozone generator, I did some reading on these. They use ultraviolet light to clean air particles?????? PLEASE let me know whether this thing legit or not.

(IF NOT) I plan on attatching a SunCort 6" Inline booster fan blowing at 250 C.F.M. This will attatch the HomeBox directly to a Carbon-Aire Carbon Air Filter (109$). This device simply attachtes via ducting to the inline exhaust fan. My question is, is 250CFM fan going to be enough exhaust pressure for the Home Box?

--Last and not least im going to be upgrading my oxygen aerator pump that i stole from an old fish tank, to a new 10 port air pump made for livewells. I will be running 8 air hoses to the stalks of each plant from this machine. This helps to maintain Co2 balance and fresh oxygen throughout the day and night.

--My grow supplies will be FoxFarm OceanForrest Soil with a 30% Chunky perlite mix and added hydrated lime. I use FF Grow Big and Tiger Bloom, and the last 2 months of flower i introduce Unsulfered Molasses into their feeding. **Above i was wondering if this will pump through a irragation drip with no problems let me know please**.
Im going to be using 3 gallon grow bags for the soil.


I know this is a lengthy, demanding post but im sure someone will come accross that is interested in helping, im no veteran by any means but i have experience so please no bs posting I am taking this seriously and need help.

Does this sound like a legit grow, has anyone ever used a indoor greenhouse (HomeBox). How much ventelation do i need for a 1000w light, will everything i have work.

My last question is about how many kilowatts will a grow like this run? Im planning on moving into an apartment will my monthly utilities skyrocket? Thanks ALOT for even reading this far, Your help is greatly appreciated.
 
hey man ill try to help best i can.

your utility bill will probly go up 50-60 with the 1000w runnin. depends where your at. my 600w costs like 30-40 month. anyways, You have a good looking plan so far. hortilux bulbs are worth every penny, so your area is basically 3x3x5, you have a ton of light for that space just so you know. just keep that box cool and you can probably crank some weight out. def get a carbon filter
6 week veg before flowerin in 3gal bags..you might get rootbound, how many 5 gal bags could you fit?

dude that tent is was to small for 1k....

thats like 6.25 square feet. like 160 watts per square foot


a 400 watt hps would do just fine. or get like 4'X4' tent.

Ya i've been doing some more reading on how this is to much power. I havent invested in a Light yet thankfully, only the seeds. But im investing in all my equip. in the next two weeks..

With a 600w hps can i look at yeilding anywhere near 300-400 grams? If so What technique is best, SOG, SCROG, LST, HST-cropping? Let me know thanks again

Consider making your own tent out of 2x4's and panda film, large enough for a 1Kw. Much cheaper than a tent.

Yes you can get 3-400 grams.


As far as technique? do you have any time constraints? with scrog a few plants could net you a lot of bud, but you'll have to veg them out for a good amount of time for them to fill that screen. with a dense sog you can pretty much hit the clones with hps once they are well rooted but you have to have a mother plant veg'd out to take all your clones from.
