The stones alone will only deter the gnats. The stones won't retain the moisture that those little buggers enjoy. You might want to get some sticky sheets. They work great. You'll have to be a little more diligent on recognizing when to water too. You won't be able to judge the surface of the soil now.
Hell yeah,I'll be peeping in 2mrw for sure.@kansabis I'm gonna have that yield weight of the 10 wk tomorrow. Damn good smoke.
I'm jarring up my second full harvest and staring at the various clones I have in limbo. Some need up potted. Some need more training. Hell, I'm in the beginning window of taking next set of clones. It's seriously a chaotic fuck fest at best. I'm trying to get a routine down and I've decided I need a more organized veg process. I want to build a custom box to house my small t5 and clone tray and also include space for the full veg period. My 2x2 tent has been used for hanging plants in to dry. That tent was overgrown too much anyway when I used it. I'd like a space under a 2'x4' t5 fixture completely enclosed within a plywood cabinet. Complete with all proper ventilation and filter and fans. Temp/humidity controlled. Long term goals include auto drip irrigation too. Some rough dimensions are 54"w x 48"h x 30"d. I'm hoping to get started on this box soon, but I'm also interested in hearing feedback of your set ups. Who's using/built a diy box? Your errors and successes? Let's share info.
Each situation calls for personal preference and ability. I already have all components to make box. It will be free standing, somewhat disquised and stealth. When I'm done you'll get the idea. All components will be internal, hence the general size. I have clone tray w dome and t5, it works great. It'll go right inside cabinet. Hoping to have four plants veg for about a month after clone. Every month rotating four plants into and out of flower. Monthly harvest is ultimate goal.4 ft height for veg?
I guess depends on how many plants u want to veg.
Cloner you domes u can get one with a dome with spot for 24 inch t5.
I would stick the cloner In Closet and just carbon filter and fan.
Personally I like bigger tents for veg.
Easier heat control and odor control.
Now ur limited to your filter size and duct fan size etc. which increase noise.
I keep my duct fans out of tent. Just cleaner more room to work.
I guess depends how big you veg your plants
Get two lights and a switch for your ballast. It can run two lights alternating light cycles. No moving parts or rail set up. Rails are interesting but seem over complicated in a sense.Right on, your set up is similar to mine then. I'm working out a monthly rotation between 2 tents, but I'm probably going to end up turning the one big tent into 2 slightly smaller ones with mylar as a median and put the HID on a light rail. That way 1 tent can really act like two

Didn't think about all the usage. I don't run a/c. Basement stays cool all year.Also part of that dedicated wattage is the window ac (1200) the 4 inch fan (100ish) and the hydrocloner and t5 for it are another maybe 20? So I'm close to my cap. Oh yes the HID ballast, so that's pretty close to my cap
