I like to turn things from green to black!
I am a later-ish 20 something or so living in So Cal with a prop 215 card for about 7 years.
I found this forum about a week ago after googling about some lights that I got. Now I cant stop reading, its amazing what you can read here!
I cant wait to get more knowledge from everyone.
I started a small tent grow out in a shed in my yard! Let me know if the rest of this post should be in a different area.
Back story, my friend had an old storage unit, unfortunately lost his life, and I received the contents. There was some grow equipment in there, so why not take advantage and give homage to an old friend. I have a shed that I have the tent set up in on the back side of my house.
The first thing I have is a small tent. It is about 2.5'L x 2.5'W x 5.5'H.
I have 2 T5 high output lights. One is 2' and the other is 4' tall. Each one has full working bulbs, I believe they are the Veg bulbs, 6500 k or something. I want to have one standing up and one hanging in the tent.
I have a Elicent 6" fan with a 6"x16" carbon scrubber and some ducting. The fan is pulling air from the top of the tent out to the vent in the shed. The carbon scrubber is attached to duct that is connected to the bottom of the tent.
I know my set up may not be fully functional yet, but that's why I am here. I want to have possibly 2 or 3 plants, I know I can't fit too many because of the size of the tent. The plan is to veg for 4 weeks and flower for 8. I would just need to get flowering bulbs.
The clones would probably be in a version of Massproducer buckets. I would water with advanced nutrients coco safe nutes.
So my thoughts/questions:
1. Should I have a fan that is pulling air from the carbon scrubber and into the tent?
2. What bulbs would yield best with my current light fixtures? I know flowering should be red lights, 2700 K or something?
3. Will running a 24 hour veg cycle for 4 weeks over stimulate the plants? Can I do some 24 hours days and then switch to the 18-6 cycle or even the 12-5.5-1.5.5?
Any more suggestions I am open to.
Thank you again guys for the wisdom I have already gained from reading and the more I will gain soon.
