Welcome lumpy! Your name is very funny, i like it. Cute little baby up there. What is your set up like?
Hi thanks you guys. Yeah I'm looking for nice people, sometimes you get a forum populated with alligators lol so I'm looking for a place with a low troll:nice people ratio :chillpill:
My setup is really amateurish so far, but I am on the right track, as there are other things I want to get started for outdoors besides MJ, so I do need a good indoor grow setup, maybe a couple of them, and the MJ growing is getting me going on growing lots of things. So like I was saying, MJ skills are dual use.
I got some 1/8" plywood crap from HomeDepot to make a box, it's too small for pot actually, but will be good for flowers. It's 2 x 2 x 39" with 8, 6500K, 23W CFLs homemade fixture. I have yet to install the computer fans. I have CalMag, GH Flora Series, a PPM meter, pH meter, pH test strips, GH pH up/down, 3 gal pots, some rainwater...maybe a few more things. Enough to veg for a while and/or get a mother plant going.
I like the price point of the 300W Viparspectra LEDs, but LEDs don't get a lot of respect. I know it will cost in yield, but I don't really have need to fret over that, plus I don't want to deal with the elec bill and space and heat issues with MH and HPS, and necessary fans and bulb changes. I may just chnage the bulbs in my fixture to 2700K CFLs for flowering just to see how they work, even though there are better lights available. I can always use the bulbs elsewhere in the house if the yeild/quality is really bad.
So anyway my first growbox is 80-90% done and I'll post a pic soon.
Any comments/suggestions/criticisms are welcome that's what I'm here for!
