Whats up scroggers! heres is what ive done in about the same space that you are talking about. maybe it will give you some ideas.Would anyone have any suggestions as to what sized screen I should use for 3 65w cfl's. I have a small armoire that is roughly 5ft tall 2ft wide 1.5ft deep, horizontally divided in half into two chambers. I was thinking of possibly taking out the division and putting in a wall to wall screen (possibly even a vertical screen), I'm just not sure how well my lil cfl's would reach the nugs far off in the corners. I'm still pretty new to growing (4wks left in my lil experiment of a grow). I'd just like to know if putting in a screen would be efficient for my space and what to expect out of that screen if done correctly with the materials I currently have. Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated.
my cabinet is 27" wide by 18" deep by 5' tall the upper veg area is 24" tall and the lower flowering area is 36" tall. I have been using 10 23 watt cfls for light in the flowering area, but its been getting kind of hot, so I think I'm going to cut back to 8 for the summer. The lights in the veg area are kind of ghetto, ive got a few clamp lights with cfls in then and some t5 fixtures that I move around depending on whats in there. For the screens I made 3 separate units that I can move around. I pulled them out a little in the picture so you can tell they are separte pieces. I harvest one screen and put a new one in the flower area every 3 weeks. I switched them out last week and got 29 grams trimmed and dried from one screen. that has been my best harvest yet, first time I got over an oz. In the picture the screen on the right has been in the flower area for one week, the one in the middle has been there for 7 weeks and the one on the left has been there for 4 weeks. The plant up top is the next one to go in. I'm going to put it under a screen in a day or 2 and let it veg for 2 more weeks then put it in the flowering area. I call my system bonsai scrog units, cause my plants stay really small. The strain is unknown, Its from bagseed but Ive been cloning it for a while. I've had this set up running in its current form for about 6 months. I dont have it perfected yet, and I've had some problems with nutes and soils and everything else but I'm getting better with every harvest.
