Hi, I'm new to this and looking to grow for medical reasons. Here's my master plan:
Grow tent: I thinking of getting a smaller tent 90cm, 90cm, 60cm (height,width, depth) as it's easier to fit in my flat and easier to tend to. I want the setup to me almost silent.
Grow lights : I want to go for LED lighting, but they seem either weak and/ or overpriced. So I'm looking at an led floodlight (~200 watts). 6000k covers the full spectrum. Plus thinner, even if I do need to add a fan to it.
Hydroponics: (I've read it's not advisable for newbs) thinking of going DWC, but not so deep as height is limited so I don't want to waste it. Plan on using a drip tray (they're used to contain chemicals), seen one that is 15cm, 80cm, 60cm (h,w,d), 40 litres so should be a nice fit. Not sure how many basket holes to cut (3, 4, 6)? Using 2 or 3 piezoelectric air pumps (small & quiet) with twice the number of the air-bricks. Want to maximise the space.
Carbon filter: Again they seem overpriced and can't even change the carbon (why?), and can probably build one myself with some pipe and pellets, that I can change! I'm planning to use PC fans with a controller (have plenty, I'm a bit of a geek).
Also plan to add a webcam, so I can monitor it with a nice time lapse, and obviously a temp+humidity sensor.
So yeah, that's my plan so far (told ya it was a little different). I welcome any feedback or if there's any major flaws.
