Captain Keg, after explaining, will you answer my question concerning the 4x4 footprint in a 5x5 tent?
Thanks for answering my digital timer question with inline/circulation fans. I've chosen the Titan Apollo 4 for the fixture.
--I don't believe I am attempting a large grow; 5x5 tent with 4 plants seems very manageable the first run to me. I've read for a couple years and just recently kicked it into overdrive(1yr) with research and talking to growers.
--I'll make time
---LEC's hold a cool running operation, one 315 watt bulb you can put your hand inches away without feeling intense heat. I'm thinking the heat signature will not be too noticeable. Hopefully the velocity of air through the ducting should cool it enough not to cause issues with fixture and ambient air in tent. Exhaust will be from tent to grow room for now.
---Inspections take place once a year in December, if I time it right, I'll get 3 harvests and close shop during this time for a clean inspection. Placing equipment in the attic or garage inconspicuously
---Smells during harvest have been thought of and prepared for
---I am in a legal state, and I have already become accustom to the laws, I am allowed 6 plants; so I'm doing 4
---It's a little bit of both; When Advil can't cut it and to replace money spent so I come out about even
---This is just a side hobby, if I do really well, I may pursue it even further
---I understand your concerns, once I have made up my mind, I am rarely swayed otherwise
-----I have thoroughly thought of Almost every scenario during the grow and after. I hold a passion for this, as everyone here does. The goal after this goal, is to become damn good at it.
--Success is always met with struggle, otherwise it's prolly not worth it.
Thanks for your input brother, it is well appreciated.
Just in case I overlooked something, someone like you may come along and bring it to light.
Ahh ok....that's basically answered any question I would of had.
I had noticed you wanted 4-6lb per harvest, which I felt a little ambitious for a first time, not to mention other growers.
This made me think, you were going for cash rather than the pleasure & experience.
The size of your tent sounds good, I use a slightly bigger tent - but much is usually unused.
As for the landlord, I was expecting this was monthly or something like that. I'd hardly worry about an inspection once a year.
Legal state - perfect. I hate to hear of young guys getting arrested attempting to push for a cash crop or even just enough puff for them & their friends.
You seem to have researched & thought this out well, personally I admire & respect that.
As I stated before, it wasn't my intentions to put you off. Just to be sure that you've thought it out.
I've seen too many would be growers invest hundreds & thousands into a set up or grow that goes to waste.
Hence the, walk before you can run comment.
As for your comment about "success & struggle" - I like your attitude, I can relate & will be following your grow.
If you do decide to go large, don't post pics, don't mention it, etc. If it's illegal, the less that know the better - my attitude is "if I don't need to know, I'd rather not"
I learnt the hard way about that - due to my pardoners stupidity & "I'm too smart to be caught" attitude.
Two fingers, two toes & two balls crossed for ya.
Good luck, my friend & take care.
