hi everyone... this is my first post. i've lurked here for a while, and I have never grown before. I need a lot of advice.
a while ago, I bought a mini-fridge. it was cheap, and i got what i payed for: it is a shitty refrigerator that can hardly keep water cold. i've wanted to try growing some bagseeds for a while, and just realized that my shitty fridge would make for a nice growbox.
the fridge i am using is 1.7 cubic feet. this is a picture i found online:
i have already removed all of the cooling equipment and the door shelves.
i am aiming at growing one or two plants using a SCROG method. does anybody have any experience (or have a link) regarding SCROGging on this small of a scale? I don't totally understand the process.
i am NOT going to kid myself.... I know there won't be much of a yield, but i am just trying to get started.
Here is a diagram of what i would like to build:
it is not in the picture, but I also plan on putting foil or a mirror on the top of the box to reflect light downwards.
is this feasible? i feel that it should be, as long as the plant(s) do not grow too large.
here are some questions that i have:
-would this be enough ventilation?
-how will i regulate the temperature?
-if i use 4 CFL's, what wattages/temperatures should I use?
-since it is such a small area, is it ok to use stationary lighting?
-what size pots should I use?
stealth is not much of an issue, but I plan on eventually incorporating a homemade carbon filter.
again, i don't want replies that say "this is stupid" or "the space is too small" or "you'll only get an eighth." this is the box that i want to build, and i am going to find a way to do it. help me, don't hate me.
thanks in advance!
