I would love to grow outdoors but my lot is such that the hill behind me lets people see into the yard. Even with a 12' fence..but with that would come the law. So my Only option is to grow indoors. I am using our guest room. With My wife's ok of course. As she is now starting to enjoy its benefits as well.
I mainly use it to ease my joint pain in my hands, knees and back. My wife uses it at night to help her sleep and stay off the pills(Ambien).
The room is 11'x12' with a closet of 3'x8'., both with a ceiling height of 8 feet. I am in the process of building a high rack bar about 6" from the ceiling to hold a 600watt light kit. Then will be mounting in each ceiling corner 200-300watt cfl lights(total of 4) to help compensate with the stronger light in the center.
We are now using the closet to keep these 5 girls going. They are under (3) 200watt cfl lights now. The light cycle is 18/6 and will not switch to 12/12 until they are about 5' tall. At this moment they are 18" tall. And just finished spraying them down with Mildew cure and
Neem oil. And instead of using plain water, I was told to use carbonated water. So they now sit in the guest bathroom to absorb their treatment.
