Hey all, first post and first grow attempt and I wanted to get some feedback on my grown cabinet. I haven’t smoked for years and want to start again for pain relief.
I have some Nirvana NL Auto seeds on order, just waiting for them to come in. I will start a grow journal when I plant
I am going to grow with the following:
Soil – Fox Farm Happy frog, 70/30 Cocoa Coir, going to germ directly to the soil. Nutes will be Fox Farm. I have access to an HTG Supply.
3 gallon pot and planning to LST since my concern is that there is not a lot of room from the top of my pot to the lights to account for the height of the plant.
CFL’s – I have a mix of 6500k and 2700k bulbs. Most of the bulbs are 23W. I have enough room for up to 14 bulbs in the grow cab, I will be using two power strips and plug in Y adapters for the lights. I have checked the AMPS for the strips and with the number of bulbs, adapters for fans and with the wattages I am ok, oh and my breaker is a 20 amp for this outlet. The top lights can be adjusted up or down via chains and I also will look at adding two lights on either side for coverage for the lower foliage. I plan on picking up a 2 foot 4 bulb HO T5 light in a couple of weeks. I feel that would be a better light set up and will supplement with CFL’s if needed
The grow cab is 78.1cm high X 75.5cm wide x 60.3cm deep it will need to be stealthy since I am in an apartment. I will be using 1x120mm computer fan as intake, 2x120mm fans out (up to 79cfm each), all are adjustable speed wise fitted with ghetto carbon filters as I can’t afford anything else at the moment. I ran the one fan with the filter on low and it seems to be pushing enough air that I think it would work well.
I am going to post some pics of the cabinet and would like some feedback and/or suggestions on any changes or modifications that are needed.
So my questions are:
Is the light set-up going to be sufficient? Or should I wait to grow until I can pick up the T5?
Is the 3 gallon pot to big? I only have 7.5 inches or 19cm from the top of the pot to the lights. This is mainly where I would need some suggestions, smaller pots, different shaped pots, etc.
Thanks for any input or suggestions, I can’t wait until I plant and get to the harvest.
