Ok so ill start my new grow in a week or 2. I wanna keep 5 autos all the time, with a second tier shelf vegging the next batch of autos to week 3 on a 125w cfl white/blue spectrum

Ive just ordered around $650 of new shit. I feel sick. Im sure i have something wrong with me, why would i spend that much? Im sure half of you are guilty of the same problem.

Ive already got my ULH and AKR seeds.

New hardware:

twin cfl reflector (couldnt decide whether it was a rip off but if fed up with light droop off shitty cfl reflectors so got it for $95...yep...eww)

2x 250w CFL reds to go in my brand spanking new reflector hood

diamond reflective sheeting (not real diamonds)

4" rhino carbon filter

180 m3/h extrator

180 m3/h intake

acoustic ducting

12" desk fan

2 gallon smart pots

4 way light contactor and heavy duty timer

heavy duty power surge extension lead (just incase)

i guess ill have to let my girlfriend know what im doing....i managed to get away with it on my first grow lol but i think the ventilation is gonna b too noisy this time. plus was stressful with watering them while she wernt there n shit. oh well!! my room so my rules !!

this my new set up. Its small, but its all i can work with at the mo. Ive just had to utilise all my closeet space that i could so everything i bought has been bought to fit in there. The floor space is about 1.75 feet x 4 feet or so. On my last grow (my first grow) i got about 2 ounces using just a 1/3 of the available space so im going to be doing a SCROG and using all of the floor space. 3 autoflower plants (2x ultra lemon haze and 1x afghan kush ryder). ive never even LST'd a plant before so the SCROG technique will be a learning curve. I just hope the plants respond well to it. Ive also dobled my light output for this grow to 500w so those buds swell up nicely. The top shelf will be for germinating and vegging to 2 weeks old. After this grow im tempted to try a photo strain, either ak-48 or white rhino. I wanna see whether its a most cost effective way of using this space because i can veg a photo plant until it fills the SCROG mesh exactly how i want, and i can prune etc at my leisure and then just flip the lights to 12/12. So ill also be saving on electricity. It all depends on the results from this grow so fingers crossed. Will be popping the beans next week once i get the cover on the closet with ventilation holes and a hatch. Stay tuned!

popping my beans on sunday. still need to get a door to my cupboard.....i would have one already, but i thought it was clever to use a hole saw in the corners of my proposed door so i could handsaw the door shape out easier....and the door ended up wth two gaping holes in two corners. yes....im a fuckin idiot, but i could only laugh
