Hi all,
I have made the grow box i am going to be working with. It is one of those big orange traffic barrels you see on contruction sites on roads. It will be lit by CFL's walls are completly light and air tight. shiny side of poster board for walls, same for room and floor, roof and floor kinda rounded and blended in with the walls through use of white modeling clay, and coatingjust the clay with white latex gloss paint. Now my question is, if i have 4 1 gallon planters, and using the LST method, maybe lollipoping, and topping for extra yield. about how much do you think each plant would yield? also i'll have 4, 50 watt, and 2, 27 watt odor eliminating cfl's for veg, and 8, 50 watt's for flower. The watt amount is not in true watts, it's the cfl wattage. idk the exact ratio. I know this is enough light, but is it too much? Any help with my Yield size, And my lighting use would be very helpful. :leaf:


P.S. Try to get pics up of my box soon. Doesn't sound stealth, but for my room it is. :]​

do i not need the odor eliminating for veg? I don't need any kind of soil or earthy smell in my room, so i figured they couldn't hurt. I'll have the pics up just as soon as i findout where i should put em. There's no kind of estimation on a yield? And Does my lighting sound right?

I've used 42w CFL's that were 2700k and 23w CFL's the were 6500K its best to mix the spectrum threw veg and flower i think. What were trying to do is replicate the sun and the sun has a millions colors+ not one.

I have never heard of odor eliminating CFL's???

What soil will you be using?

Those odor reducing cfl's help for veg but definately don't do a dang thing during flower. Found some at wally world. They are a really cool concept though, just imop not cost efficient.

Well What would you suggest for the flowering process? Some kind of odor eliminating gel? Or i can but inscencts constantly, and put filters on my intakes as to not pull the smoke into the box.
