this will be my 2 future grow rooms...they will be approx 3ft6in x 6ft x 7ft tall...i have a hydrofarm cfl reflector hood,good for up to 200w...i have a hydrofarm 200w full daylight spectrum bulb...all bought at hydro shop(4 hour round trip)...a 25ft roll of permaflect for walls and ceiling...i found 2-40in surge protectors at lowes for $27 each(10 recpticles each)...i have several sockets and "y" adaptors to plug in them...also round boxes with bolt on light bases and i have a couple of 4ft t-8 flos hanging in the shed with 5000k bulbs i could rob...also a 200cfm bathroom exhaust fan and a few digital timers...you may have noticed the grow rocks and net pots for my 5 gal buckets in the pics...i also have 2 4 way air pumps and 8 blue air stones...1 qt of botnicare pro grow and 1 qt of botnicare pro bloom.
i was going to try for 1 room for now using bubble buckets untill i found subcools threads on here...i think i may go with his supersoil mix...i am going to experiment with bag seed for the first grow to learn about light placement and temp and humidity...where i live it gets over 100 deg f every summer and is very humid...i have a small clip on fan i will mount to circulate air and i will also try co2 at some stage.
i am going to paint everything flat white and cover as much as a 25ft roll of permaflect will cover...the 200w i am going to hang on strings in the middle...the 2-40inch surge protectors i will hang on each side of that with a homemade reflector so i can raise and lower them on the side of the plants...i will mix and match the 23w cfl bulbs in these strips as needed between the daylight bulbs and the soft white bulbs...the surge protectors will give me the flexability to use up to 20 bulbs per side for a total of 40 using y adaptors.
question 1-will i be able to use the 200w daylight bulb during flower?i would suppliment it with soft white in the surge protectors.
question 2-would it be better to use all daylight bulbs in the surge protectors during veg or should i start swapping in some soft white at later stages of veg?
question 3-am i wasting my time and yours with this thread?
any info,thoughts or criticism welcome as long as you dont tell me what an idiot i am for not using hid lights
