Hi All,
Im nearing the end of my first ever grow. I made a number of mistakes, but learnt a heck of a lot.
Anyways, Ive been doing a lot of reading about scrogging, and plan on making my next grow a scrog! However, I need some advice.
Current equipment (aside from propagation):
Secret Jardin 90x90x180cm tent
1 x Lighthouse Blackstar 240w 3W LED
Autopot Hydroponic System (ebb & flow)
Perlite / Coco 50% mix
4 x Airdomes
Temp of nute solution and tent always kept around 25 degrees.
TENT PROBLEM:
My idea was to turn the tent on its side, but I was worried that I wouldnt have enough height. Basically the tent would be 90cm high, the Autopot stands at 20cm and the scrog net at an additional 10cm. This only leaves me with 60cm height. I was considering cutting the side(top) off the tent and constructing an 9mm MDF lid and raise it by about 30cm giving me 90cm.
I was going to house the light in the actual MDF so that I wouldnt lose height from it hanging. I would probably still be able to do this without the MDF.
QUESTION: Do I need to go to the trouble of constructing the MDF lid to give me the extra height, or is 60cm ok?
LIGHTING PROBLEM:
Turning the tent on its side gives me a much larger floor space, although I need 50cm for housing my fan/filter/heater (its cold here lol). So I have about 130x90cm floorspace with a height of 90cm (120 if I create lid). Im guessing my 240w LED wont be enough. I can only use CFL or LED.
QUESTION: What extra lighting do I need?
PS, I will be growing 4 x Super Iced Grapefruit feminized seeds
Cash is tight at the moment J
Regards and thanks
