Howdy folks. I am planning my first grow. I have searched several forums a ton, and still have many questions about what is reasonable, and what are my best options for my first try growing and for the future. I will list all of my planned equipment and methods, let me know if anything sounds unreasonable, and what my best options would be instead.
Grow Space: 3x3 Tent With Propagation Chamber on Top: http://www.secretjardin.eu/index/catalogue/objet-33/lang-en
Light/Ballast/Hood: 1000W HPS Air Cooled Hood:
Cooling: Stanley Blower Mod:
Strain: Most Likely Nirvana Northern Lights + Big Bud: due to low odor recommendations:
Growing Medium: Undecided!
My conditions: I rent a townhouse; up and downstairs is mine. Upstairs master bedroom has large walk-in closet with washer/dryer utilities inside. So I have the dryer exhaust vent in that room which exhausts out the side of roof; 20 feet up. I plan to exhaust out the dryer vent.
My questions/concerns:
Heat: With the tent being 3x3 and very short in height as well, would 1000w still be possible?
I realize heat will be a big issue, so I would use cooled hood and the stanley blower.
Odor: Can anyone verify/vouch for the low odor properties of Northern Lights?
If odor becomes an issue, I will build a scrubber.
Veg Room Lighting: The small chamber on the top of the tent can be used for mother/clone. Will flouros work for mother/cloning?
I will also veg the plants as needed in the tent before flowering.
SCROG or SOG: Which is the most likely method for highest yield?
I have seen great results for both in small spaces, but wonder if the extra work for SCROG is justified.
Hydro or Soil: Is hydro recommended on my first try? Or should I stick to soil/perlite on my first run? Will hydro most likely increase yield?
I am considering these 2 configurations: DWC Bubbler, or perlite in juggs; check the links:
Soil SOG:
