Hey guys, I've been reading these forums for a long time, and planning a grow. I am just getting ready to start that. I've had trouble finding answers to some questions though. Even searching google and looking through.
I am planning on buying a steal hydro box. Dual spectreme at least if not the ultimate light upgrade. Thats one question, is the light upgrade worth it? I like the stealth because its all set up and dummy proof, but also supposedly the lights are low heat and it would be nice not to have to cut a hole for ventilation. Or am I going to have to do that anyways. Also, theres a lot of optional upgrades, any of them worth getting? I figured the digital monitors would be usefull even if I did someday upgrade to something more sophisticated. The basics of my planned grow.
I have a spare bedroom downstairs with your basic walk in 4'X4'X8?' although there are shelves about 6' high along 2 walls. I planned on doing a stealth hydro grow in there strictly for personal use. So I think I could probably fit 4 plants in the stealth box reasonably well, and that would yield enough for me.
I purchased 2 36" rubbermaid containers that I planned on building into a clone chamber/veg box. (I still have to look up exact plans, I know I've seen many with basic plans with these parts) Is there any problem going from soil to hydro? I figured for the clones and veg it would be easiest to just put some CFL's up (I have 2, 4 light fixtures. And each bulb could give me 1750 lumines or what not).
Would I be better of doing the veg in hydro too? I could get the second stealth hydro box and put one of my rubbermaid containers over it so it would get its own light cycle I guess. And how long can I force veg them before it affects my grow?
My plan was to grow 4 from some feminized white widow seeds I have. Before flowering clone, veg, when those are done start flowering the ones from veg after taking a clone, etc... Is this feasable? I would like to have a nice rotation going, I know in the stealth hydro the roots can become tangled so I don't want them flowering at different times.
Thanks everyone
