My Brother and I are both growing our medicine together in a spare bedroom. We started in the walk-in closet but since have used 8ft x 8ft insulation panels ($10/ea) to construct a grow area. The air is ventilated by 2 oscillating fans and a third outside pumping in fresh air, it seems to be working very well.. We only have 1 400 mw metal hallide/hps conversion lamp. We are thinking of adding a 2nd unit of the same type or experimenting with LED lighting since heat and energy use are a real problem for us. We are trying to keep it as simple and efficient as possible using our fairly limited resources.
Right now we water manually every day or when the tops of the soil look dry. We are adding a small dose of 'super-thrive' to each watering.
I think we are reaching the end of our veg period but since this is our first grow we are a little hesitant to turn on the HPS at 12/12 yet. We are hoping to do this in the next 10 days on some of them. (This may require that we add another light to seperate the plants that need to flower and the ones that still need to veg, haven't decided on this yet)
10 of the plants were germinated from 'kush' seeds that we received from a friend.
The other plants were clones that we purchased at a Clinic in Los Angeles.
I will come back and finish up this post with addt'l info and pictures soon. Going to smoke some of this hindu hash... woooo.
