Hi All!
New to this forum and growing. Have been reading for days and starting up a small setup. However my seeds sprouted a bit faster that expected
. So I had to make do with a few things for now.
My cabinet setup:
Height: 68 Inches
Width: 30 Inches
Depth: 18 Inches
Lighting: 25w CFL compact w/ Ghetto reflector
15w Eclipse daylight fluorescent tube- T8 18 inch
I can raise and lower the t8 fairly easy, the CFL is a bit limited to how far I can go with it. Height is not so much an issue if I do not raise much more than 2 feet or so.
Inside temps stay around 72F, verified with digital temp probe and infrared temp gun. Humidity hovers around 50%
I am sure the setup could use some work, given the size of the cabinet I only have maybe 2 more feet to work with, to remain fairly stealth hopefully ;D So far only a tiny amount of light leaks out that is visible from the outside. Will focus on smell next with a carbon filter setup.
Any suggestions as far as my lighting goes with this setup, or overall suggestions? All feedback much appreciated!
Pictures attached.
The babies from seed, I am hoping at least 1 female is in there ;D
I only ever plan to keep maybe 2 plants going and a clone or two.
Note: It is hard to tell from the pictures, but my exhaust fan blows the hot air outwards through the holes near the CFL lamp. The fan is rated 12v, which I have wired into a 9v DC adapter. Using a metal fixture with my ghetto rigged reflector. As I said had to make do for now
The fan sucks out the hot air and blocks into the front door, which is covered with holes and open to the outside of the cabinet at the tops and bottoms.
My ghetto rigged reflector made from a can
Please provide some constructive criticism on my first setup/grow.
*Edit*
Almost forgot, currently on 18/6 light schedule.
Thx in advanced!
Happy Farming!
