first of all since i couldnt really think of how to word a thread just for my introduction ill briefly do it right now
HI MP! ive been an avid reader forever and am stoked at the helpfullness and information this forum has provided me even as a guest. im looking forward to meeting some new people learning, and hopefuly getting even more tips and tricks to help me grow some tasty buds =). i recently started my first grow and once it progressess a little more ill definately be starting a journal thread for everyone to watch and help me out along the way.
since i had a mix of questions with an intro i thought general indoor would be the right place to post lemme know if it would be better to break it up i tried to make the questions clear in bold for those who dont like reading bulk, but included details for people to hopefuly get me some good ideas.
so now onto the setup and questions! (quick i know right haha)
im working with a typical shelf up top hanging bar below closet with two sliding doors, good news is i can outfit the closet however i want to and i have been looking into this for quite some time. the closet is 8 by 8 by 4 and my plans were to cut it completely into two sections having the lower left side be a vegging chamber, seedling rack up top and the right side for blooming. but before i commit to the cutting plywood sealing mylaring ect what would you do with this space? keep in mind my goal is to create the largest possible perpetual yeild (in rotation) without sacrificing quality or alerting the cops to an electricity bill.
my second question is regarding the light, i know it will be better answered once i can get pictures ect ect but right now i have the seedlings under a 4 bulb 8 ft by 4 ft t5 ballest that is honestly bright as all hell, its filled with a full spectrum setup 4200 3000 6500 6500 i believe every other one being a 6500. my intention here soon is to pick up a few more single tubes and run them along the plants like ive seen many members here do with excellent results.
the second light i have is a 400 watt MH in a cased nice ballest this was what i was going to use for the vegging chamber (4 by 4 x 2) but this is where i am looking for ideas and comments.
is it realistic (keeping in mind electricit bill, heat ect, to cut the bottom section in two and have the seedling rack flouros, the mh and then the blooming chamber running theyre cycles all at once?and as of now my for my bloom light im torn between a 600 watt hps or 2 of these bad boys (celieng/wall), i love the crystals produced by full range flouros and have seen some nasty amazing plants when you get them enough wattage in there.
and lastly i will be doing the fist few grows in soil then later switching to hydro, i want to have worked with everything and i think soils a good place to start. but i know right now my soil mix is not ideal, is there a safe way to transfer my soil plants into a new medium? which would you recommend?
well hopefuly you all enjoy that novel hahaha hope to get some responses here soon EVERYONE STAY SAFE AND STAY QUIET!
