I am currently trying to set up a grow cabinet I do have a 6 week Soil planted plant in there. I innitaly made the mistake of over watering it and its first set of leaves turned yellow and developed brown spots on them after letting the plant dry out for a few days i slowed down its water intake and the yellowing of leaves stoped. I am a first time grower and have done lots of resurch but need a few opinions and answers. I will be Groing Hydroponicly. i just ordered a deep water culture 5 gallon kit http://www.stealthhydroponics.com/product.php?xProd=93&xSec=61 . So below i have pix and specs of my set up and some questions below that. Any input would be gratly appreciated.
Space:
- 3'(W) 1' 8.5"(D) 5' 5"(H)
Lighting:
- A set timer 16 on / 8 off
- I have a sunleaves pulsar mini 250w two-watt
- Currently im using the 250watt MH Bulb (SOMH140)
Circulation: Regular 14" house fan
-I have a regular house fan for cirulation also on the timer
Nutrents:
-Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow (3-1.5-4)
-Botanicare Liquid Karma (.1-.1-.5)
-Botanicare Pure Blen Pro BLoom (1-4-5)
Water:
Distilled Water + Nutrients
Problems:
- I can't decide Mylar, Visqueen, or Flat white Spray Paint and yes price is an issue?
- The temp when the doors are closed skyrockets into the 100s-110s so i need an Air intake/exaust. Unfortunatly it needs to be really quiet the cabinent is in my bed room. (temps are fine right now because I leave the doors open and the temps are 85-88.)
- I cant seem to find my own answer as to how far away my light should be from my plant? (250watt MH/HPS)
- When i do hydro do i use all 3 nutrients or just one at a time?
- I will be using Distilled water only in the hydro too/
- http://cheaphydroponics.com/Merchant2/cfmcalc.htm states that i only need (29.7 CFM every min) according to the dimentions of my grow cabinet.
A. Does that sound about right?
B. If so could i just use this --->http://www.coolerguys.com/840556092612.html.
C. Will that be enough to keep the temp from reaching above 88 degrees
If not what would be sufficent enough to keep my temps down?
Well below are my pix of my space i will post more ass the space is updated.
This is what i hope it all to look like eventualy
