I Am New To Lady Growing Due To Not Having A Location, Well Now I Do :) I've Been Studying Other's Grows, I Used To Be A Member At Overgrow, Where I Learned Alot. Anyway Enough About Me. Ill Try To Explain My Plans And What I've Already Done. Firstly Only 4 People Know Of My Idea Total. And They Are All Partners. I'm going for 8 Plants, The Seeds Are Germing (All Good Bagseed, one possibly AK47 & Another Trainwreck) K Im Working In A Closet With The Breakers In It. I Added A Receptical Above The Box About A Foot Below The Ceiling. (I'll Explain) I've Got 4x300w cfl soft white I Found Four Sockets They Screw Directly Into. I Took A Length Of Cord And Cut It Into 1.5ft lengths Found Some Male And Female Adapters (Normal Cord Kind) Rigged Em Up Into 1.5 FT Extension Cords. Now I'll Try To Explain My Rack For Raising/Lowering The CFLs 4 Boards Screwed Together To Make A Square, One Board Goes Across The MidSection. 6 Slot Powersupply Sits On Top Of The Middle Board. My CFLS Will be Attached In The Inside Corners of The Square. The Rigged Ext Cords Will Connect The Cfls Diagonally To The P.Supply P. Supply Plugs Into My New Receptical I Added. I Bought Self Tapping Hangers For The Light Hanger, Larger One For The Ceiling. Using Nylon Rope To Lift And Lower The Contraption. Now, After They've Germed(cross fingers) I Planned On Planting In Clear Plastic Cups So I Can See The Rootball Forming, Then Make 1 Transplant Into A Sufficient Sized Pot With The Neccessary Aeration (To The Best of My Ability) Also I'm Trying To Think Up Some Kind Of Easy Way To Drain The Water Thats Run Thru The Pot. For Ventilation, I'd Like Tips. I Know How To Rig Computer Fans And Make Carbon Scrubbers, Etc. I'd Like A Cheap Idea For Ventilation, Atleast For My Veg Stage. OOOOOO. Pest Control Tips Too! (B4 I Have A Problem To Fix Would Be Better) Ok I Was Thinking Of Vegging For 3-4 Weeks Depending On How My Babies Are Doing. Correct Me If I'm Wrong, My Nutrient High Soil Will Supply Enough Nutes For Around 3 Weeks Right? If So Thats When Ill Start Nuting, And I Want To Go Organic, Any Suggestions? Home Made Worm Castings? Now For Flowering: Going With 1 or 2 600w HPS with special blue spectrum BS (Is This Neccessary/Smart To Prevent Stretching?) Any Tips On Websites To Acquire The Ballast, Bulb, e26mogul, or reflector? Distance From Plants? If Not I Will Have To Find: Worm's Way(local hydro store) I've Already Got A Carbon Scrubber Drawn Up And My Exhaust Is Gonna Look Like A Dryer Vent From The Outside. Other Info. Got Semi-Gloss White Paint For Walls, And Possibly Going For Insulation Then Mylar On Top Of That For The Ceiling. Mylar Showing Of Course.. I'll Put Up Pics When I Can! Till Then I Would Love Tips, Tricks, Suggestions, Anything.. Call Me An Idiot If I'm Being One, I Can Take Constructive Criticism And I Would Love Tips On P.O. Boxing, And Ordering Materials Safely. KEEP ME OUT OF TROUBLE, AND ILL DO MY BEST TO DO THE SAME Much Good Karma To Those Who Would Help Me. Overgrow The Government! p.s. I Am Not Growing To Sell, I Am Growing To Never Have To Spend My Hard Earned Money On The Earth's Greatest Gift! Much Love!
