Ok im getting interested in growing again after a few years away from it and as im moving into a new apartment soon.
I am looking at getting a 2 bedroom apartment, one room for me, one room for my plants and setup and drying etc.
I would like to have a setup like what i used to for a long time but a few improvements on timing etc.
Aswell as fixing some heat,humidity and other problems.
the setup i will be doing will be something along these lines-
Perpetual harvest.
I will be using perlite only as medium, canna nutrients
Veg-
I will be using 1x 250 watt metal halide for veg and 2 mothers, bonzai style mums, other plants in veg in same veg room
-a few 4 ft flouro lights for cuttings and maybe mums if other veg room full.
-semi large plastic cups for vegging plants untill moving into flowering room
8 litre pots for mothers.
growing many strains- keeping two or three mothers out of all of them in the end.
Flowering-
1x 400 watt hps
90 by 90 cm by 180 cm box
pandafilm
wooden home made grow tent like room that dissasembles easily.
air cooled hood
150mm inline extractor
8 litre pots (200 mm)
15 plants in flowering
Problems i had before with this-
(mainly due to concrete building with no roof for extraction)
Humidity, heat and smell and ventilation.
-im hoping the aircooled hood will reduce heat a lot
-maybe it will reduce humidity aswell, but may need to purchase a dehumidifier
-need to purchase better ozone gen, some odor sox..
It doesnt look very stealth leading a duct from the grow room to outside the window.
So i will need to either use an empty AC unit (or a pot plant perhaps)as a dummy that offloads the out take somehow
or maybe just control the environment inside the bedroom better.
I need to block off the windows from the lights and any activity in the bedroom anyway so its probably better to
control the environment inside the bedroom than exuast the air through the window.
Now im not sure how big i should grow.
Or how many plants in flower i want.
What i was doing before was growing a few out in the veg room under flouros but probably not waiting long enough for a decent sized plant.
Now i have a 250w metal halide aswell as the flouros
so more time for veg,hopefully better yeild.
I would like to get an even sized bunch of plants all into flower every 8-9 weeks and harvest every 8-9 weeks.
However what i had was plants of all different sizes as some grew slower but in that way it was too bad as you can put the smaller ones directly below the lights.
Anyway i hope theres not too much in this post, im just looking for suggestions on any of the above
so i have minimal problems.
However i can not spend a lot more cash.
Ps- anyone using odor sox? how do you rate them?
