Hello everyone! I am going to be starting my first legal medical grow within the next month and am very excited! I have been lurking on these boards for years and have had 10 succesful indoor grows and countless outdoor/greenhouse grows, vastly due to the knowledge available here and other forums just like it. Now I would like to do my part in spreading knowledge while continuing to learn by creating a grow log with the combined knowledge of this board. I would love any and all advice on how to maximize this grow. before we get started just one big thanks to everyone who participates in this grow log.
Goals:
Perameters:
Now here come the choices I have to make
Well let the fun begin looking foward to all your wisdoms and things
Goals:
- Produce 10 to 15 lbs of fine sensimilla every 4-8 weeks (seems like alot I know and may ot be possible but I intend to turn alot of product into concentrates and edibles)
- Stay within legal limits of licience (see perameters below)
- Work within current available space
Perameters:
- 30 plants in flower max (licence retriction will not grow more)
- Obviously will have to be a perpetual grow of some sort
- Diameters of available space Basement: 26'L X 18'W X 7'6"H + Bedroom: 12'L X 14'W X 8'H (I have more Space available but do not think it will be needed)
- Strains: White Widow, Sour D and Blueberry are what i would like to grow but this is open for suggestions as is everything else.
- Money isnt everything but i would like to keep the cost of the grow room under $10k closer to $5k would be nice.
- smell is not an isuue (I am legal bitch)
- 1000w Hps/MH vented xxxxl reflector
- 400w flouro 6 tube growlight
- 2 1000w MH with open reflectors (may not use these as they are outdated ballast)
- 500cfm inline fan
- 36 plot cloner
- ducting
- mylar
- ph testers, water pumps ect..
Now here come the choices I have to make
- Hydro or soil? (I know I know .... newb question go hydro or go home but you never know i have had some good luck with soil). eventually this whole setup will be converted to a aquaponics system when i grow the balls)
- If hydro it is then what system is suggested i am a builder and have much experince so will be fabricating my own system question is what would be the best setup for what i am looking for?
- Scrog seems to be the best option for my expectations but if anyone else can give me a better idea I am open
- Room layout is my biggest hurdle and where I really need the help i can divin the spaces any way i please and have a seperate area i can house mommy plants and here children so the space givin above is for veg and bloom only
- 600w or 1000w ( Always had the go big or go home attitude but if the extra wattage is not going to make up for the price to run 1000w then I will conceed to the 600w
Well let the fun begin looking foward to all your wisdoms and things
