    Planning my indoor basement garden

    @chasmtz I have been thinking a lot on the height issue, and i wouldn't mind having an extra foot or two to go on, but this is what i got. I also considered 250W HPS to be able to get closer to the plant, and that might be a better solution, hard to say. I've calculated to have about 2-3ft for...

    Planning my indoor basement garden

    Yup, sounds about right, i found them on a aquarium website. The ventilation should be sufficient for my room, it should be able to change all the air in the room in about 30 sec. If it's enough to keep the room at a decent temp will be another question. I think i'll start out with a empty room...

    Planning my indoor basement garden

    Ok, thanks for good and informative answers. Say i break down that other closet to W2.5ft x D2ft x H2.5ft, then i could fit a few fixtures in the top, and probably wouldn't need to have a height adjustment for them. Say i buy 4 x 14W T5, that would give me a total of 56W and 4800lm. Would that...

    Planning my indoor basement garden

    I'm about to start growing for my first time, and i've done a lot of reading and research lately. In my basement, i got a closet where i will be growing my ganja. The closet is W3.3ft x D1.8ft x H5.2ft, and i'll mount a 400W HPS in there, paint the walls white and have a water resistant bright...

    Preparing for cloning

    But when i flower, i'll have a 12/12 cycle. The clones likes 18-24 hours of light, right? I found this post, and based on that, a couple of 23W 5500k bulbs would do (i guess). Then i can get two of those cheap E27 sockets and mount them vertically just above the dome. I also see that this guy...

    Preparing for cloning

    Yeah, i saw that post, but to my logic that procedure sonds more fragile than to just dip it in roothormone and put it in soil or jiffypads. I guess you're right though, i've never done this before, lol. But what i'm more confused about is the lighting, so please answer me this: how much light...

    Preparing for cloning

    Ok, that sounds simple to just put it in a cup, but what about the roots being exposed to light, that can't be good, can it? And how would you plant it in soil or whatever medium you use when the roots are just hanging loose there? Also, about the required light amount, is there any rule of...

    Preparing for cloning

    Well the idea was to use a soil mixed with perlite, both for the plants and the clones. Isn't it ideal for the plants to have the same medium to grow in troughout its life to avoid stress? I've already bought a can of clonex, and i'm pretty familiar with the procedure as ROBSTERB describes it.

    Preparing for cloning

    I want to make a hospitable place for my future clones to grow roots. I'm imagining a 1.5'x1'x1' dome (or somewhere around there). I figured i mount a few, maybe 3-4 primitive fixtures for E27 sockets lightbulbs, and put in, say 23W 5600K lightbulbs in them. Does that sound about right? Also...

    Some questions about those lumens

    I'm planning to grow in a cabinet that is about H5.2 x W3.3 x D1.8, and wondering about the lumen requirements. Due to my lack of English skillz, i'm posting this piece of MSPaint art. I'm wondering about the lumen requirements. As far as i know, te required amount is about 5k during...
