I veg in a 4 x2 cupboard but i added a shelf to double the floor space.veg plants dont take up as much space.you have to find clever ways to make the most of you space,like a metal rack with two shefs and a few t5,s attached to the top and underside of the shelf will help conserve space.also try and set up what i call swc "shallow water culture".its basically setting up dwc in 16oz beer cups or some other fairly small container that can hold a3" net pot so instead of having fairly small cuttings in big huge containers you keep em in the smaller containers until they have a root system that is too big for the smaller containers then you can put em into the big containers and flip em.(or veg em a week longer in the bigger container).it works well,the only drawback is when the roots/plant in the small container gets bigger you will have to add water/feed to the container every day or otherday but if you have the time and are really struggling for space then this may help.good luck.yes i know soil is more forgiving, my friend had to revive his plants several times.
how large would you make the veg room?
as i mentioned i havent got a lot of space, and the 8 by 4 is a tent.
i was thinking 8 plants in veg gives them 1'4''squere and 2' in veg.
if i would go the 2 garbage can plant way, how long would the veg be +-.
i would like to (eventualy) get to a 5-6 sycles a year
i have no misconseption that my plants migt die because its the first grow.
but i was planing on doing the mother plants in soil so i can fall back on them for new clones.
i bought the hessi hydro series, have ph and ppm meters several temp meters.
dehumidifier ok thanks ,haven't bought one yet.
For some one just starting out this post by @Canalchemist has probably the best advice you could get.absorb as much info on growing from as many different sources as possible and stay positve when shit isnt going your way,if you take canalchemists advice before long it will work out for you.you WILL fuck up sometimes but you,ll never learn to ride a bike without falling off a few times.And just on a "Positive Note" be positive saying your plants may die is true, read on the farm, or from books widely available, watch all the videos you can they are also widely available, provide the essentials for them ie. Light, air, water, food, all in moderation, yes they may die, however you have already learned from your friend and the plants seemed to have lived long enough for a poor yield, this is how most everyone starts. The best way to learn is have a positive outlook, make mistakes, more importantly learn from them, and read read research read, research, watch videos on grows, read, read, read, there is such a glut of literature out there, aspire to be a knowledgeable person on the subject, and if you keep failing find a journal or someone who you can follow and copy them exactly, after all in business if you havent an original idea copy what some other successful person is doing.
And most of all your girls will benefit if you stay positive, a little meditation in the grow area never hurt anyone.
I have a similar grow, my own personal is in a small space. I always get around 2 oz I only use 100 watt for that and cocoa soil. Bio grow, Bloom & top max. I only use led lights for my room grow and always get at least 4 oz per plant make sure you strip the leaves they're only wasting nutrients, and happy growing. :-)i have to build the rdwc system, so ill build it for 8 sites, and remove some when the strain appears to large.
ok good info, the stain is the same as it was with a friend of mine, horrible harvest.
it was in soil 3 plants 2 mo,ths veg and only 14 grams dried.
he used a led like mine, but it was in soil, and he made alot of mistakes.
plant is called russian snow and is white widow strain.
