About the paranoia....with some tolerance built up the sativa induced paranoia becomes way milder.Also, and here me out on this one.... I'm strain hunting for strains that work for me, I have chronic pain and cannabis helps so much with the nerve, muscle and joint pain but at the same time a lot of the strains invoke anxiety and or fear...irrational thought. I've been experimenting with CBD to help with this so I'm trying to grow test plants so i can see if they work for me or out they go. Having stated the latter I want to grow several small single cola plants. Have you ever grew like this in a small cab? I see the autos can achieve this...but I want to clone the ones I like instead of buying strains. From research it seems like flowing straight from seed, flowering straight from clone seem to produce small single cola plants. I was just wondering if you had any experience with anything like this in a cab or have you only used scrog?
What bulbs are those how much do they go for? I have a similar design
2nd to last pic.plant on left is nice. What is she? What light, veg. time? What nutz.? Give silicon?the cabinet started out as a 6 foot tall, 4 foot wide wardrobe with 2 doors. i cut off the top 2 feet of the cabinet and lowered the top of it. i then framed the inside of it with 2x4's for the needed support of the tank. then i created the air scrubber chamber on the left. it was the depth of the cabinet, 20" x 12"w x 36" tall. on the wall splitting the air scrubbing chamber i used 2 4" DC powered fans. they sucked air up through a hole in the floor between the two plant totes. if i remember correctly the fans were rated for 100-150 cfm. on the floor of the air scrubbing chamber i cut a 10"x16" hole, placed an air conditioner return air filter over it. built up cardboard sides on the edges of the filter and poured an 1" thick layer of activated carbon over it. there was also a small ozone generator hanging inside the air scrubbing chamber.
both the intakes and exhaust were open on the back side. i had framed channels underneath (for exhaust and intakes) to prevent light leaks.
as i stated, i started off with so much shit crammed in there. i found in the end, things rain cooler and better with just 2 bare 150 bulbs. 200 watts of LEDS will do you right. you can see in the pictures i scrogged, so i built some 1/2" pvc frames and chicken wire to support the plants.
getting the light leaks on the front doors was the trickiest, but some marine weatherstripping did the trick.
i too wanted to have a bare, natural looking cabinet, but that plan i had in my head did not work out. since i did have a key lock exposed on my doors, i had the ex wife sew up fitted cloth that just laid over the whole cabinet.
the plant totes were small 10 gallon sterlite brand, i believe. actual grow chamber 20"D x 36"W x 48"H.
i had to scrog everynight if i didn't want a mess. if i skipped two night, it would take an hour to scrog all the stretch back down.
btw, i started with 2 plants per tote. that was also too much and unnecessary...
couple more pics.
hope that helps, if you have other questions, fire away...
