Just got some girls poken their heads up... I about to be in this, and I cant believe this thread has me doing a micro grow lol. I will be running a 1.2 sqft media cab with 180 watts of cfl. soil mix is light warrior/ffof - 1/2. I will be running the full GH line as I was not thrilled with earth juice in my last grow.
Im growing in the homebox mini, measures 12x12x24 inches, im using a 90 watt led ufo, it has 70 red 630 nm, 10 blue 460 nm and 10 orange 612 nm leds. For ventilation im using a 100 mm inline fan hooked up to a carbon filter, bouth are sitting on the top of the tent to save space inside!
Heres a pic inside the tent:
Ill be growing fast bud femenized from sweet seeds,its an af, its sitting in a 2,5 litre pot filled with organic soil, im gonna be using gold label nutes, , it was FIM´d at the second node, gonna be doin some lst on it aswell. I also have a random bagseed sitting in the tent atm, ill see if ill get a female from it, i attempted to fim it at the third node.
thank you for posing this challenge and thanks to the participants. as a first-timer with limited space, the info i gained from this forum has helped me tremendously.
Finally the dry weight, cab size 12'' d x 12'' w x 24'' h, 120/130 watt of cfl. 6 weeks of veg and 13 weeks of flo, Hazy99 ( Sam ther skunkman haze cross x C99bx1)
Building this at work with some spare stuff laying around. Hoping to get my cab going in the new year.
Below: This was the beginning of my cab. Found it laying around and thought...hmm..if I turn it like this I can probably grow in this thing. I was thinking of growing with cfls for a while. So when the opportunity presented itself, I had to jump on it!
Below: Here it is all assembled (for the most part). All the wires running out of the back give the interior a nice, clean look!
Below: Here is the interior. I have 2 x 120mm pc fans that pull/push 68cfm. I have them stacked because I want to put a layer of back cloth on between them to act as a light trap of sorts.
Below: And here is the front door. It's just 2 pieces of rigid cardboard hot-glued together. It's pretty sturdy and does the job, so why screw with it. I have a passive intake at the bottom of the door, which I also have to put a layer of black cloth over for light trapping purposes and a roll of sticky double sided velcro to keep the front door on.
I ordered and received my seeds a while ago, but they're ready to go anytime I want.
I have the following strains:
10 x reg. - nirvana - white rhino
10 x reg. - nirvana - northern lights
1 x fem. - reserva privada - headband
Freebies:
1 x fem - ch9 seeds - jack
1 x fem. - ch9 seeds - vintage 2006
anyone have any good runs with any of these strains??
Dammit...I should have added more info. It's 11"L x 9"W x 26"H. That's why I have the 2 power bars...I can run vertical scrog or scrog or sog...so I think it works out. I can fit 9 X 600ml. bottles or 4 X 3" x 3" pots or 1 X 4 gallon pot. I figured I would try and make it as versatile as possible. I plan on running 2 X 42w and 1 X 23w cfls when in full flower and maybe 1 or 2 of the 42w cfls when vegging. The 2 X 42w will be 2700k and the 23w will be the 5500k. Any thoughts or ideas of how I can maximize yield would be greatly appreciated!!
