Hey Everyone,
I'm soon to give an indoor grow a try. This will be my first time growing, I know there is a learning curve here so I expect there will be mistakes and failures involved. I'm good with that I'm a patient man. I'm also doing this for my wife, she suffers with Multiple Sclerosis and cannabis IS THE ONLY thing that we have found that is effective in treating her symptoms.
Space is limited to a closet in my home office. I'm going with the Hydrohut Silver Edition 2 x 2, actual dimensions are 2.3' x 2.3' x 5'-6" tall. I'd love to have a bigger tent but space won't allow it. I have a few questions I'll list below, any help is appreciated.
1. I would like to use a 6" inline fan mounted under the house to pull the air through a carbon filter. Filter will be inside the tent and I'll run the duct through the top of the tent through the closet floor to the fan under the house. I'm mounting the fan under the house because of noise concerns. I know the fan is more efficient pushing air rather than pulling it, but does anyone see any issues with this arrangement?
2. I don't want to start a debate here about grow lights. I know HPS & MH lights are king, but not an option for me. So I was leaning hard to LED but my budget at this time is real tight so I'm thinking about a T5 fixture, either a 2' x 6 bulb or 2' x 8 bulb rig. Either of these fixtures will fit my tent. Anyone have any suggestions with t5, and if I should use the 6 or 8 bulb fixture?
3. Whats a great strain for a beginner? Remember it needs to be effective in treating pain and spasticity.
Thanks in advance!
Peace,
Randall
