Hello. Thanks for reading! :)

If this thread is not a good intro post, feel free to delete and accept my apologies!

I am going to start a closet grow. The closet is 28 inches deep by 51.5 inches wide by 78 inches tall. Additionally there is a very sturdy iron rod running 56 inches across the closet.

The closet is 100% light sealed with an exterior door style threshold installed. The floor is slightly tilted, as it is a basement room closet. The closet is in a larger room that can be made near pitch black as well.

Additional notes:
  • I can easily separate the closet into an 18" clone chamber with the same width and depth as above.
  • I have about 500 USD to spend on a setup.
  • I am red and green colorblind
  • I have a nice digital camera
  • I am in a metropolitan area that contains a hydroponics store.
  • I want to set up a good system that will keep 2 plants going all the time.
  • I have 4 bagseeds and 2 seeds of indica


My ideal grow is to have two plants going all the time. Essentially I just need about 24 ounces/year, and that is a very padded amount, 18-20 is probably much more reasonable.

The odor must be in tip-top control, so I'm going to need suggestions.

I can't really wrap my head around how to externally vent to use a carbon scrubber, so my best guess would be using an Ona bucket.

I want to try the bubble bucket method.

I will have to run grounded extension cords about 12 feet from the nearest grounded outlet.

Was thinking of doing the 2 in 5 gallon bubble buckets, but I'm clueless about the lights. I DO know I want to try using the CFC and LED lights, though.

All that being said, please let me know if my investment up front is realistic.

About me: Reclusive stoner who likes music. I'm not the most handy with tools, but I can use a drill and all the basics.

I started my cfl grow about four months ago, a similar size to yours. I would go for bubble buckets, I have a few and they're great. Check my grow journal for more details....or ask away.

Thanks! I'll check your grow journal out! Should I ask questions in your journal or in my thread? Whatever is most helpful to you is okay with me.
