I want to take care of my personal consumtion... I've realised it is my single biggest expense, and the single best solution to not supporting criminal dealers and smoking exactly what I want...
*I smoke about 1,5-2g per day so every 3 months I need about 200 grams
*for personal reasons I...
I've read about rootbound and I know everyone avoids it... bit what is the real effect of it? Is it like the bonsai-tree, it just limits it's growth?
maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing.... maybe?
No matter how well planned, there's bound to be some thewaking when the grow starts...
I've been thinking actually that the lamps overhead should be a bit stronger... every plant will have 3 sides well lit plus one above it...
so every plant would have 3 26w lapns on the sides and 1 42w above...
Hehe... i'm jus thinking out loud... I'm more interested in are my expectations correct? I should be able to get about 230g of bud out of this set-up, shouldn't I?
So it's 15x 26w CFLs... 1800 lumens each... that's 27000 lumens
Well... even that's not really a question... coz noone will know...
Well... i'm too far into engineering my dream lowrider growbox... I really want to try some of my ideas... so I'll stick to them :)
I'm currently working on a better 3d model of the thing...
The new question on my mind is could I produce enough to have 1g per day of something of the highest...
wow... The choices! The horror! ;)
I am soooo in love with the idea of growing my own little midget bonsai weed (autos). I actually find them really beautiful plants :)
But now there is a chance of growing some really great stuff, much purer strains (ruderallis strains still feel kind of...
2700K yeah... not 2100K... too much info to keep all in my head :)
So it wouldn't make sense to have a perpetual grow, if I want max efficiency... I'd have to have a 50:50 ratio at all times? Well.. there could always just be two boxes... :D
And another question DJ... can't seem to find a...
wouldn't that require that I use both 2100K and 6400K lamps at the same time? I plan on mixing them anyways... but in more an 80:20 ratio... just to get a more "natural" feel to the light...
Hi dyzel!
The plan is to grow 4 plants... Being realistic (or pessimistic hopefully) i count on producing 20g of dried bud from every plant... so that's 80g every two months... wich is more than 1g per day... a bit too much but it's good to be on the safe side. :)
I was thinking about...
Hi Terente and thx for the reply! :D
Heat is exactly the point of having so many vents... I think it should work pretty well with those "corridors" arround the lamps... plus they would be at optimal distance from the laps... Is there any reason a passive intake system would be better?
I'm...
Yeah... I guess all the planning can't replace real world experience... I have no idea what wil the humidity be... trial and error I guess :)
And maybe a little strange question... just playing here... Would it be extermely wasteful to make bubble hash out of all my crop? How much do you think...
I got a little confused... It may be my noobness, it may be that it's 6 AM here...
Isn't CO2 for the plants like oxygen for us? And they produce oxygen that we can breathe by using the CO2?
I thought fresh air was needed because the CO2 in the growbox is quickly sucked up by the plants...
So DJ... what about the heat from the side lamps? I'm mostly worried about that heat... I'd really like to stick to the side lamps... I think it gives me an advantage over doing something SoG-y, SCoGy... :P It focuses on fewer plants but more intensly... Am I off here? I'm aslo surprised you...
