How do you think this set up will do?

This my mini set up I may veg them then grow outdoors or bend and flower? Does anyone have suggestions on how I could improve my set up, and do you think it will work it?


-10 gallon fish tank

-covered in aluminium

-Soiless mix

-Flora grow: veg and flower

-9 w flourescent

-two 12v computers fans one creating air and the othero releasing air

(sorry don't know where to upload pictures.)

-10 gallon fish tank

Not really a good idea for growing. Reason not enough height and very fragile easy to break

-covered in aluminium

Aluminum is not a good reflector. It creates hot spots

-Soiless mix

Soiless mix is ok, but i would use potting soil

-Flora grow: veg and flower

I guess you are referring to the nutrients. I hear it is good so can't comment on it.

-9 w flourescent

I am not sure specifically what type of flourescent you are refering to. I would assume an aquarium flourescent. If so your plants will strech for the light.

-two 12v computers fans one creating air and the othero releasing air

not a bad idea because your fluorescent won't really generate any heat, and the air circulation is good.

Now I am assuming you have a fish tank laying around and figure could you use it to grow in.

Me personally I would not even try.

Get a wardrobe closet, use a closet, or build a grow box.

Invest some money in a cool tube, HID lights, Fans with high CFM's etc

There are many FAQ on this site that can guide you in the right direction

Believe me it will pay off in the long run.

I would also say that before you attempt a small grow like the one you want to do, get some successful grow under your belt.

The experience you gain from successful grows will help you in the future when you wanna change things around

Just my opinion

Your 10 gallon fish tank idea will work well for vegging.
Once your plants reach 4-6 inches, you better have something much bigger to plants in.
 
I have many outdoor spots in mind which many will go, however I would like to try to bend them as they're entering the flower stage?I realize I will not have that much, but it's more of a project to me. Will it work? and one more thing would it be a good idea to breed in my aquarium?
