Hi guys.
Ive been floating around this forum and several others reading other peoples journeys and experiences for some time now and decided nows the time to start my first ever grow.Ive spent hrs and hrs looking through posts trying to find a way that suits my SMALL ish budget and available space needs.As im totaly new to this anyhelp or nudges in right direction will be MUCH appreciated.
My plan of action with epuiptment i have as follows ....
I purchsed 2 x 8 tube flouresent T5 lightwave lights 4 red 4 blue in each light so 16 lights in total light area covering 120x150 full of light i plan to veg and flower with these lights. I chose these becuase i plan on filling a 150x150 tent with the 2 lights and planting 8 x fem seed big bomb plants from seed ( not yet purchsed ) need help with this im based in mids uk.
Initially ill set em in rockwool like cubes then when big enough put wool cube into net pot then into 2 x 4 big pot wilma system in clay pebbles so 8 big pots under theses lights i plan to run the wilmas constant with a weak nutrient mix ( need help with this too ) i have purchased 4 tubs of canna nutrients tub A and B for both flora and veg so mix ratios from peeps using wilma systems wud be of great help.
I plan extracting with a 4 inch fan only 20 db and british made apperently pre wired with plug seen these on ebay ( not yet purchased) but plan on doing so tommorow.
The warm air/ smell is goona go straight out of tent into a vent in the chimney with a cheap carbon filter on.
im no expert but im guesing as these lights dont produce much heat at all this will be sufficeint, i dont plan on air intake at this time and will open tent up reg to introduce fresh air and keep open all bottom vents around tent. Ive chose the this model 4 inch fan cus research ive done this far says its quitest fan on market at 20 db for my cheapo budget ( fan noise/or any noise is gonna be an issue for me) as my walls are paper thin and neibours a copper !!!!!!
heres the fan link ..http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Line-Extractor-Fan-Grow-Rooms-Tents-Hydroponics-4-5-6-dia-250-500-m3-hour-/190616611737?pt=UK_HomeGarden_Garden_PlantsSeedsBulbs_JN&var=&hash=item7218907796
My plan is to grow 8 big plants and take plenty of cuttings from these plants and clone them in a cupboard i have. this is only 90cm x 90cm but 2.5 m high so plan on spliting it into two levels have a smaller T5 ( not yet puchsed ) on bottom level for cloning and upper level to start flowering process (again with T5 multi lights) but of smaller scale untill they get too big,then ill swap to main grow tent. The plan is to keep taking cuttings and have a constant supply of fem plants on a rotation basis. (hope that makes sense)am little stoned right now !!!!
Any help/advice is most welcomed. Peace to all tokers
