Hey guys/gals,
I'm new to the forums but live in a medical state and I am looking to start my first grow. I have been researching relentlessly for weeks now but still don't have the hands on yet.
My proposed setup would be in a stealth grow setup I would be making contained in a closet style armoire that would be roughly 20" deep x 48" long x 72" high. I would like to do a D.W.C. grow in plastic totes. I feel like this setup would be fairly easy for me to put together as well as use a similar setup container for the cloning. I plan to use the top shelving units as the cloning chamber under a fluorescent tubes and a 150w cfl for mother too. This would leave me roughly 2'x4'x 4' of space at bottom for flowering space. I plan to use the marshydro 300w reflector light in this space.
I am aware the lighting may not be completely ideal but it's what I could afford until first harvest or 2 came through.
The cabinet would be completely lined in Mylar and have an intake and exhaust fan running as well as an oscillating fan.
I would be growing an Aurora indica strain that has roughly an 8 week flowering cycle and remains to be a fairly short plant. I could put these into the flowering chamber directly after cloning space for roughly 2 weeks. Obviously trim the bottom 3rd of the plants to keep colas growing and no wasted light.
My main question is on plant space requirements for this type of setup, I believe if measured correctly I could fit 2 x 18g totes or 3 smaller ones in flowering chamber. How many plants roughly should I be able to cycle through each harvest in that space? I don't believe that with this size of plant I would need 8" net pots but not positive.
If any experienced growers have any input on this subject it would be greatly appreciated because I would love to keep this setup stealth and in one cabinet but also know that if I could only cycle 2 plants in small containers every 2 weeks the yield may not be worth it and at that point I may be better off just vegging the plants out and growing 2 at a time to full size and doing a scrog net and some supercropping to get a higher yields and start from seed again once harvested.
