i was thinking about setting up a scrog grow in an old night stand starting them off with 2x100w MH bulbs and moving to one MH and 150w HPS for flower... can anyone direct me to thread about smaller grows, I am concerned about dissipating heat in such a tight space.

Silent, if you choose inlet and exhaust fans with a large CFM rating you shouldn't have too bad heat issues...
4" bathroom extractor fans are a good start..The c heaper fans are around 230 cfm, the more expensive powerful & silent type are around 3-450+CFM..

There is plenty of info throughout the thread about dealing with heat,and especially small grow spaces...just gotta read..

Yeah I am new and was browsing through and got a lot of useful ideas from the PC case growers... It looks like I could get a decent yield from a single female SCrOGed nice and bushy. I'm going to wait until my seedlings mature and select a strong mother to clip from before building the night stand box. I'll be sure to take and post pics when I start building.

cool, sounds like you got yourself a plan
And welcome to the 150w club from all of us

Frosty.

Update- just chopped the other FAMC..
the other 2 that are just starting to flower will now have the twin 150w cab to themselves..so they should fatten up real nice.

Go steady y'all

ScrOG (Screen of Green) From what I've read on the FAQ https://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=faq&cmd=category&id=71, it's a technique growers use to keep their plants small and bushy.

yeah scrog is a great way to achieve good yield and yet maintain small easily managed/trained plants....LEt the plants grow into mesh screen then train the branches in and out of the screen.
there's a whole bunch of scrog veterans on here that should throw some light on the subect for ya...see above link in Docs post, or search for scrog.

thursday will be two weeks of flushing and 8 weeks flowering for this bubblicious. she hasn't started to yellow yet and the older growth is 50/50 amber/cloudy, so i'm thinking she's got a couple weeks left.

I still have another 3-4 weeks to go. My blueberry's main cola is now bigger then a 20 oz bottle of soda. I cannot wait to post pictures of it on my scale.
