Ok here it is I have a PC case the floor is 7 1/4" deep and 15.25" wide the ceiling is 17.5"...I ran a test with 78W of CFL lamps in it... Temp is running at 76 to 80F over a 10 hour stretch with an ambient temp of 72F... The temp went down as the day turned to night... I am going to do a test in the next few days with some additional lamps just incase the 3 each 26w CFL lamps don't cut it... I read somewhere on RIU or in the Cannabis Grow Bible that you need about 5000 lumens per sq ft I have .76 sq ft in the case... with this set up I can have 6500K @ 4800 lumens per sq ft during veg and 2700K @ 5250 lumens per sq ft during flowering... The 2700K lamps I have are 1750 lumens each and the 6500K are 1600 lumens each... If I put 2 blue and one red spectrum lamp in for veg I get 4950 lumens nearly perfect... and for Flowering 2 reds and a blue spectrum lamp I get 5100 lumens...
I dont know if I want to go 12/12 from seed or veg for like 3 weeks and then into 12/12... or build another case and have 2 cases going at once with a slight overlap??? Building another case isnt an issue I just have to gather the materials and get to assembly... I have nothing but time I am retired at the age of 43...
Here is what I want to know...
I would like to have the ability of have a production rate of an 1/8 to a 1/4 per week...
Q: I am asking too much from one PC case???
I am wanting to grow close to 100% Indica strains
Q: What strains would be best for my system???
Attached is a photo of the case... BTW if your wondering the lamp strip is adjustable as its magnetic
