    CFL stealth cab design

    http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=8c48d5c91f9163e94c4e976bf2b6081f This is going to be a CFL grow in my closet. Once I get the money I'm going to start construction. Any ideas are appreciated. Passive intake through 1" PVC at the bottom, exhausted by a computer fan. 4 gallon...

    SCROG & DWC questions

    Yeah, I figured a yield estimate was pretty stupid to make. I have about 30" of usable height, so I think I'm going to allow for a longer veg to get a higher yield...I'm going to be using an indica dominant, most likely an OG Kush cut from my dispensary, so it will be bushier and I fear...

    SCROG & DWC questions

    Ok, so I'm attempting a grow in my closet. I want it to be SCROG, and I plan on using DWC. The reservoir is 16 quarts and the flowering square footage is approx. 2.1 square feet. Lighted with 12x23W 2700k CFLs and 2x26W UVB CFLs. I'm looking at close to 9000 lumens per square foot.:bigjoint...

    Possible to hook up too many lights up?

    I was thinking of stringing together 328 watts of CFLs. 12x23W and 2x26W, is it safe to hook these up in a single circuit, wiring the lights in parallel? I know a decent amount about electrical work, but not enough to have confidence that it will be safe. What is the upper limit of wattage...

    First grow ever (Lots of questions)

    I saw this while looking around about lighting: http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/120019839/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0 Is it worth it to throw 2 of these in there? http://www.petdiscounters.com/Repti-Glo-100-UVB-Compact-Fluorescent-Bulb-26-Watt-p8334.html And do CFL UVB lights still...

    First grow ever (Lots of questions)

    ok, so I looked at the numbers and it would be more efficient to use all 2700k CFLs. Using 12x23W CFLs, packed onto a moving platform 15" wide, I could fit 12 lights in a 1.25 (minimum) sq. ft. area. That way I don't waste wattage on 85W 6500k daylight bulbs, and I could even switch some of the...

    First grow ever (Lots of questions)

    This is a pic of the space I wish to use...the box is the size of the cab, 16x20. I could really piss my roommates off if they noticed, as the don't agree with growig really, and would probably steal my stuff anyways. The cab will have to be assembled in the closet beacuse the area is small...

    First grow ever (Lots of questions)

    Yeah, I realize that I've got some high hopes. I read (in the guide I posted) that he averaged 50g/square foot. Honestly, I'd be happy with 70g, but it's nice to have extras and I have the space. With the fan, I was thinking around 5 times the volume of the cab per minute, so around 30 CFM...

    First grow ever (Lots of questions)

    Hey all, first post, been lurking for a few weeks now. I recently got an MMJ card, and now an itch to grow has found me. I want to do an SCROG grow in soil, under CFLs, in a setup similar to this: http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=29593 I have a space that is 20"x16"x36" to make a cab...
