Hello,
This is my first post here but I've been stalking all of your threads for a year now.
I just want to say you guys are awesome.
I'm a hardcore stoner and have been repairig electronics since I was 12. I want to get into designing LED fixtures eventually but for now I am going to get my own grow room set up.
I helped my little brother last year by building him an overpriced low pressure aeroponics system and I am a hardcore DIY kind of guy but I don't really have the cash to build a real COB/QB and HPA room yet and I need some feedback.
I want to scrog 6 plants in rotation to harvest every 2 months. I probably shouldn't have done it but I bought myself 2 Viparspectra 900 reflector series from Amazon. One was actually free but that's beside the point, I am aware they are glorified Chinese POS. After everything I've seen and read it seems a 315 cmh would have been the better route.
I want to have a 6 plant veg scrog with one of the viparspectra 900 and a 315 cmh on a light rail. Is this enough light if I use a mover to cover the space for a 6 plant scrog? Is ittoo much? Keep in mind I'm aiming for the true watt value to be able to produce a yieldlike hps, without the cost in electricity or in cobs.
For planters I'm debating 10gal smart pots vs air pots to start until I can afford to build aHPA system for each phase. Will HPA kill the taste of my bud? I was thinking for now I can start with ocean forest and happy frog mixed50/50 with some perlite and coco mixed in.
I'm almost 100% positive my plan is flawedso help me please lol
