I feel special, This is Topic #666 in this section.
Workin on a compact, Light weight solution to my current situation.. Just did a couple sketches to get a main idea. Im moving to a 2br 2bath place and gettin outta the 1br 1 bath within the month before my son is born. I also have a daughter thats a year old this saturday... Anyway....
Material, I can use the big signs you see strapped to gas station poles.... The material is light but kinda strong, The backside of them is white, But I will probly paint them anyway since its plastic, Its like plastic with long ridges between a front and back layer so its really light, but still easy to cut and work with and strong enough to hold the bulbs in the way I have them. I have a few of them that are like 3x4 ft.
My current plants are doing like manure. I dunno why but they are. I think its a combo of the MG organic soil, and 1 light per plant that is screwing them up. The soil seems to burn them or soemthing every time I water and it kills them recovering... They are like little retarded plants now. So Im going to do a new grow with more light, and different soil.
Heres the bottom line.......
A. 23x28 inch Peice of the sign
B. Slim wooden frame around the edge, and a peice down the middle
for stability, and for the rings to be screwed into, so I can adjust
the angle and height its hanging at.
C. 30 CFL lights. 5x6 row count. 1600 lumens each,
Soft white, 100 watt equals.
Just an idea I had, Think it can work. It will be light weight, i can move it easily... adjust height... and have alot more light going on. Maybe 30 lights is overkill though, Just need anough for 4-6 plants no bigger than 3 feet. I plan on Supercropping and keeping them short/bushy ... "hopefully".
Anway thought id see what some people thought about it as a compact closet grow. Will have a fan going all the time too.
edit: Im thinking maybe 18 of the same spec CFL's may be good enough.
30 seems like it may be over-doing.
