Hey guys I am setting up a small grow room for a relative. Prices for decent bud over here (UK) is pretty expensive, especially considering a lot of it is subpar. The pain meds she was on were fucking up her organs and after some convincing her that cannabis wasn't as dangerous as heroin she has been completely off the pain meds. She uses my mighty vaporiser and for the first time in over a year is able to walk around and cook and even take small walks with her poodle after being housebound always out of her mind on the pills.
I hooked her up with a little tent and a cheap burple LED for a one plant grow and it worked, so now we are looking at converting a small 6x7 box room into a one room veg and flower room. I have just finished painting the walls with diamond white matt paint and the place looks sparkling. We will probably get some mylar later on but for now it is a budget setup so trying to keep costs down.
QB are out of our price range unfortunately and I don't want to order from China because if a light malfunctions, we need a solid warranty policy as we can not afford to be buying new lights. This is my plan as of today:
Paint the walls white matt
get two cmh 600w lights from lumatek like these ones: https://www.groworks.co.uk/product/630w_lumatek_cdm_tekken_reflector_lighting_kits
Get a variable speed extraction fan with large carbon filter capable of extraction adding 15% needed power per grow light
Get an intake fan 20% lower than the exhaust one and vent in through the wall so it takes fresh air out of the room next to it
11l humidifier
11l dehumidifier
plastic sheeting to hang over the door inside the grow room to avoid light leaks
I am also trying to decide what medium to use for growing, soil is much easier, but I will have to be there to do most of the potting etc. Hydro is less labour intensive but requires kore stuff like an ec meter, ph pens etc.
I could use advice on the design and things we might be overlooking. Also any recommendations for strains for med patients for pain relief? I had bought 8 blue dream seeds from humbolt as she has tried that strain before and really liked it and said it offered pain relief without making her feel glued to the couch. Looking for more strains like this.
God bless and thanks for any help.
edit: If we do get the CMH lights, what k bulb would be best for using for both flower and veg? They do 4200k, 3100k.
