W'sup people,
I'm looking for some criticism and advice on a possible grow set up. I've done some preliminary research and have pieced together a plan.
I'm looking to do this recreationally (just 2 plants) and not buying expensive lights (not too worried about yield) I'd just like to get a feel for it.
So without further ado:
I'm currently germinating a couple bag seeds.
I was thinking a 3'X2'X5' wood box, painted flat white with mylar lining.
2 computer fans (1 for intake one for exhaust) possibly a ventilation tube off of the exhaust fan going out the window.
2 daylight light cfl's (advice on wattage would be awesome) suspended from the top.
I want to grow in 5 gallon buckets using sunshine mix.
Nutrients: Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom
I may look into LST if the box is too short.
I was going to go with 18/6 then to 12/12 for lighting.
A couple questions:
-Is overheating an issue if I'm only using two cfl's?
-What kind of feeding and watering schedule would y'all recommend?
-What is a cheap and easy way to deal with smell?
-What kind of automated light timer would work for this set up?
-And advice when to switch from growing to flowering?
Thanks so much!
