Hello, rollitup guys. This is my first micro grow, and also my first "real" grow. My previous experience involves throwing a 600w HPS lamp in a closet with no ventilation and then having the torched, stunted remains of my would be crop devoured by spider mites. This time I'd really like to actually grow something.
So right now I've got:
1) 4 auto seeds from Herbie's (Think Different and Heavyweight Fast & Vast)
2) 2 Rubbermaid tubs for the chamber
3) A 6 inch 250 cm duct exhaust fan for ventilation (in the mail ATM)
4) An 8 bulb (23w each) contraption made with Y adapters to be hung from a extension cord.
I'm going to paint the inside white and use soil. For flowering I plan on using a cheapo 150w HPS lamp with some tubing attached to the hood with a PC fan for exhaust.
Are there any major problems with this grow plan? I'm also curious if there is a good way to keep the plants short, I wasn't sure if you could do LST with autos. Also, is this setup (if taken care of correctly) likely to produce a decent yield, or at least quality buds?
I'm a complete newbie, so any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
