Grow Big, or Go Home

Hey there guys, I hope everyone has had a great 4/20, now that the holiday is over its time to work. Light a fatty cause I am making this as detailed as possible.

About 5 months ago I started to smoke every day, but because that I noticed a few things, my money started to run out really fast, there would be times it was hard to locate it. I then got a crazy idea, weed was a plant I bet you I could grow it. I then started to look online a started reading up on growing. I then decided that I should give it a shot. I was orginally thinking about spending about 300 dollars. Then i started reading up on cabinet grows and the amount they could produce. I couldnt help myself I am now commited to a multi chamber grow, and planning on using 1k-1.5k. I will not be building till I move to my apartment in August. Starting in August also allows for me to justify it since its my 21st and I am giving myself the greatest present ever. But I decded to start planning early so I could start faster, and have as few problems as possible. Planning and reading everything in site about growing. And I wanted to pass it through the fine people of RIU.

Vegging Room:

Chamber: 44 Gal Rubbermaid container lined with mylar
Lights: 200W 6500k CFL
Air: PC Fan with diy carbon filter for outtake, passive intake. mounted pc fan circulating air.
Medium: Hempy Bucket in 1 Gal buckets, I can fit 6.

Flowering Room:

Chamber:I will be purchasing http://www.southshorefurnituredirect.com/South-Shore-7206-970-TH1199.html#ReviewHeader
its 60"HX36"WX20"D covered in mylar
Lights:400W air cooled HPS
Air: I will be purchasing http://www.hvacquick.com/spfnconfig.php?fm=td the TD-125 with a DIY carbon filter, and passive intake.
Medium: Hempy Bucket in two 2 gal buckets, but i will be cutting the bottom off of one and stacking it to another to almost double root space. This way i can have 6 4 gal buckets maximizing space. Since this takes vertical room away i will be LSTing the plants.

Seeds: Barneys Blue Cheese feminized, A feminised auto flowering strain yet to be determined. I cant decide.

Since I cant wait to grow i will be using both chambers intially as flowering rooms. The Blue cheese in the cab, and autos in the veg. I have calculated that i can still get the next batch of plants ready for the next grow. I can't believed I have this much planned out. Once you start its so addicting. I now look at things and thinking about how I can grow in it and incorporate it into my grow. So thoughts on the set up. Man August needs to hurry up.

wow, it sounds like you have some pretty cool shit on the way, good stuff. I say eventually work up to the 400 being in the veg chamber, with a 600 or 1000w as the main show.

stays relevant.
You could build a cabinet using 12 pieces of wood, and black/white poly-- which would cost you about $150.00 less than that cabinet in the link.

Welcome to RIU! :)

I cant go over 600W for the setup since I am living in a apartment with roommates. One that cannot know this is going down. I am playing around with making the veg room just a autoflowering chamber, and when the autoflowering plants are done, I can add 200W of cfls to the bottom canopy. I really dont think I can do a perpetual grow, so but this allows me to maximize the yield from the initial grow. Can you get black/white poly at home depot or lowes?

I am hopign a carbon filter on both cab and rubbermaid take care of the smell. I also plan on incorporating other methods if the smell becomes to much. And its as big of a grow as I can do, or want to do. For a first timer I think I am giving it more then the good old college try.

dude buy yourself a grow tent from ebay they cost just a bit more depending on the size but its way better than working with that chamber

if you want to grow big then buy a few 1000s instead of toying around with 400s,,, a a nice tent you can get for under 200 sshiped for a 6 by 6..
