Hello to all,
My roommate and I have decided we're tired of being broke and wanna grow. Neither of us have grown before (at least I haven't) so this will be our first time. We are doing it indoors but we aren't sure what to use and we were looking into either PC setup or possibly making a DIY tubberware (30 gal 31x17x19) thing of some kind.
Now we've been baking and reading on this all day. I sort of have a grasp on what the basics of a setup are. I've been reading all kinds of different types of places, conditions, containers, etc. so that's why we have decided on either the pc or the DIY (We going to scrog either setup). We are going to place the setup in a closet. I was going to go out and buy some materials today but I'm not sure what I should use. I already have the tubberware containers though
We live in a apt complex within a quad with different apartments on two storys (Each apt is around 1100 sq ft and think a square building design with a courtyard and apartments on each of the 2 floors). I dont think the "odor" is going to a problem from one or maybe 2 plants but I'm no expert.
My biggest questions are - Coming from more experienced growers, in your opinions:
-Which do you think would be the best and easiest setup to go with?
-Should I go with these hydro setups to grow or a pot and good ole natural dirt and nutrients?
-Whats the best screen for scrogging (In terms of size of each hole)?
-Is it better to paint the tubberware container or put the reflective shit around it (for insulation)?
-Should we fix the lights (i.e. mount) or should we use a system of moving light to make the plant grow taller (we were thinking of using velcro strips vertically up the tubberware and on the backside of the powerstrip rather than using glue and then having the freedom to adjust the distance of the whole light fixture from the plants)
-If we were to use the DIY tubberware, what size and how many fans for the space and 2 plants (I was thinking 2, one in and one out)?
-In terms of electricity, what's the cost of runnning a 1 or 2 plant setup for a month (going from wet paper towel seed start on up with an indica feminized and probaby an auto and with a general light/fan set up)?
-Should worry about odor being a big concern for outside the place of grow or will the smell be contained to the grow room/spot?
These are a few for now. The more we get into it, the more I''ll have pics and questions I guess lol.
