Ok so here is the deal. I have just built my little stealth grow box. Sealed it completely with heat resistant insulation glue or what ever its called. So there is no light coming out of the box or getting in. I put 5 sockets at the top for cfl bulbs hanging horizontal. installing a 120 mm fan at the top for pulling out the hot air another at the bottom for pulling in fresh air. I am on a budget as so many growers so I am only going to build a small carbon filter when flowering and hope the plant does not smell too much.
Thing is I have never grown before and although I have read a lot on forums and such, I have no idea if I have enough lighting for one plant. This is only an experiment and if everything goes A ok I will build a bigger one. Right now I have VEG: 1 30w bulb 6500k 2 23w 6500 and will switch to these when flowering. 3 30w 2700k 1 30w 6500 1 23w 2700 this makes it a total of 143w when flowering and about 10300 lumens. So basically what I am asking is this. Will I be able to get a plant to produce any buds in flowering with this kind of lighting ? By the way I checked with all the lights running one night and the temperature was 26° celsius or 77-78 Fahrenheit when lights are on and then when lights where off it is 21° celsius or 70 Fahrenheit. I am thinking Scrog and the plant will flower in a 1.5 gallon pot with lights about 1-2 inches above. Does this sound like a good plan ? |

Is this all for one plant? How big of a plant do you want?
I finished my plant at almost 2 feet. Usually when I start, I only use what the plant needs. The first ten days I am only running a 26w 6500k. And when its about 6-7 inches, I add 2 same bulbs. Usually that takes 2 weeks or so. When I'm at 4-5 nodes, I add another one bulb except its a 42w 6500k right on top. Then move the other lights around the plant. When I start to flower, I add (1) 23w 2700k and replace (2) 26w 6500k with (2) 23w 2700k. When I see its a female, I add (1)more 23w 2700k to finish it off. Also when you veg, you should use 6500k til you start flowering. Then you can add the 2700k since its better light for it. With what you have, you will get some buds. They might be fluffy but it all depends how big you want to grow her! Good luck! |

![]() The box is 1f wide 1.5 feet deep and 2.5 feet high, around 2.4 feet to the lights. I will take some more pictures this week, the seed just germinated, its a nice little northern lights I was told. It came from a plant that my friend had. He hermied her to get female seeds so I am thinking this one will either be female or a hermie. Quote:
