Iv been a lurker here for many a years. You guys have helped me learn to grow, and I have been successful in doing so a couple of times with hardly any problems. This grow I am very confused and torn between different setups and methods, I have done alot of research but just cant make up my mind.
The crawlspace I am working with is under the house, it have a cement floor and the ceiling is insulation and wooden support beams, there is also duct work that runs throughout. The biggest factor in this grow is the height of the space only being 3.5ft tall, with the duct work even lower, so in either space where ducting isnt present I have a 9x9 room and a 11x20 room each 3.5ft tall. Keep in mind im not trying to use all of this space obviously I have to have paths though this to tend my garden and I may just start out small to see how things work.
I was thinking of having florescents for the 9x9 for mothers and clones with white painted walls, poly over the ceiling and floor, and appropriate ventilation. For the bigger room I would really like to have HPS's in there. Now I have 2 150w hps horizontal security lights that I paid $50 for both, they get hot but with a fan on them there fine an have used them successfully before. I thought that would be a good idea to get a bunch of those to use, it turns out, I got a good ebay deal on those an there around 70 bucks a piece now, as is 150w htg supply light that I would just buy instead. If I got a bigger light in there I would want to mybe put sheet metal on the ceiling to prevent a fire, install smoke detectors, paint walls white, ventilation, and line with poly.
My questions are can I go bigger in the HPS department, should I look into an all floro grow? Hydro or soil, I only want hydro if I can make the system myself. Hydro would be better, but if I can keep the plants lower to the ground soil is great too and would save alot of extra work. Should I LST or SOG?
Really just tell me what you would do in this situation. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. I have the Greenhouse Indica pak H fem seeds including Great White Shark, White Widow, Lemon Skunk, Train Wreck, and Cheese. Also they sent me one Kannabia BCN Diesel seed.
Peace, Love, and the Kindest Dank
