Okay so I have a few rooms going some 1k regular and 1k vert at another house a 600w flower room(see my other grow).I veg under a 400w blue hotrilux eye bulb. Now here comes the experiment, I have told some friends down south in SD that they can get started cheap off of Craigslist because everyone needs new bigger stuff or messed up their grows and need to make something back. Here it is my begining to end(follow along) Super budget grow anyone can do. What i want is 200+ grams of good quality smoke that anyone would be happy with*like what i get in my 600w or 1k. I have a box I made today(25$) a 5$ fan free samples of nutes (humbolt & fox farm) a light i got for a 1/4 oz of okay stuff(50$) and a cheap exhaust fan(15$) and ill cheat a little with some finishing products like beastie bloomz or cha ching (not needed tho) I have this all laying around so i figure if I set this up they can see how to get started ans maybe help some people in the process. Here is the begining of the box i made(this is where they woud vegtoo, but im only flowering in here.) This will be a scrog Purple grow Purple Diesel, Purple AK 47, Lavender(urkle)

I don't know what to say yet, that foil looks dark though. good luck though papi. nice light. I'll keep up with this grow.
My grow is a $13 grow just for a couple day light bulbs and some miracle grow a friend got me. lol, your grow is more than possible. I'd say to get some shit to reflect light to hit under the plants too. foil/white paper on the dirt around the plant . but that won't be a for a few weeks till it's really needed. but you got this. good luck, man

I don't know but I prefer growing with black walls if I can. So growers I know say that the multiple light reflections is too much for it, and that plants in nature don't really get light under the leaves, my 6x6 is silver but all tents are now adays, I have my 4 ladies chosen she is under the 400w maybe 2 weeks til she's in there l could veg in there but I'm cheap and if I have my 400w goin I have like 50 ladies under it.

if you want the buds on the lower nodes of the plant to grow more you'll need more light under it. Otherwise you'll get 1 big bud on the cola and a bunch of small popcorn buds that could be decent sized buds themselves. People do this all the time. and the black is only taking away from the reflection and sucking up your light. more light the better. the sun is way strong than your light and the closer you are to the suns power the better. heat control needed of course if it's a warm area.

It's just a proven way to yield better, topping and pruning help also. I'll post visual video evidence of how great topping and pinching work for giant yields if needed to help sell you on the idea. It's all for the best

We can further get some science on when you get passed the seedling phase :D

Oh i know all about that this will be a scrog grow that i use LST before i put under the screen, i have a snocap that is about 4 weeks right now in veg(was using a t5 for half the time now a 400w mh blu) it is 4 inches above the rim of the pot and it has about 13 top shoots(love lst) this will cause there to be no under growth, only 4 inches under the screen and the colas that pop out the top. I know all about getting tlight to the bottom, but i have always grown lollipop plants(bottom 1/3 gone for airflow and to get all the tops goin strong, i do clone with the bottoms i cut) most real big time growers cut them this way to keep good flow above and below the plants. living in north cali, i need air flow humidity is a prob here. Also check out my 600w in my sig, I got some massive colas(2-4 a plant i wasnt lst these) some are like 2 sodas stacked on each other on wekk 7.5 not the best but ill take it, also i would rather do a vertical grow than reflection(whites betther than silver i think) but why i did this was to help people(mostly my san diego friends) know what they can do and use it for help. Out of my 4 flower rooms i got one has 2k of lighting one 600w and now this. Keep posted you'll like what you see i swear!!! thanks for the interest tho, I thought this would go over well. you'll see this forum light up once the ladies get in there in about 2 or 3 weeks, then its on like dk...

sexy picture. and yeah, im just using ceiling lights trying to grow with whatever I can. people have been saying it's impossible and that they were going to die a month ago. but they are some pretty plants. I'm sure of getting something out of them. My 2nd grow will be on purpose and I'll be more ready for it.

so I'm super bummed, I had 2 4" 240cfm fans a friend gave me 20$ new online great deal. I guess they are broken damn need a new cheap alternative to that was thinking 3 120mm computer fans about 80cfm each 2 exhaust,1 inlet not sure if it can handle the 250w but the space is only 2x2x4 so that's 16 cf, and you want 5x that per minute so 80 cfm would work so 2 fans oughta be good enough right? Anyone run real hps lights with comp fans? Everyone I see is using cfl. Anyhelp before I go buy these?
Thanks

I grow with LEDs and CFL seems that maybe you might need a bit more venting cause it might get hot. idk about the math there but its always better to have an extra fan just incase.

Well green thats what im asking i had a 240cfm exhaust and the same for an inlet(if needed) but they ae broken actually so now i need to do the computer fan thing, ill do 4 or 5 if i need damn. It's only a 250 tho so it shouldn't be imposable. oh and smell isnt a concern, so i wont be using a scrubber at all

Yeah but you also should take into consideration your room temperature. I mean if the air coming in is also warm. If the temp outside is cold then you wouldn't need to move that much air to cool inside. If your air is warmer then more air coming in would be necessary. Just keep in mind that bc you are growing in a box inside it can get hot really fast and also if the air coming in is cool enough so that your box doesn't get too hot. I grow in a closet/wardrobe and bc right now its winter i dont really have problems with air rather than trying to keep all my heat inside because the air coming is cooler than I want it to be.

Yeah I am in like the 50s here right bow. It is also next to a window if I have to I'll bring in cold outside air and attach my exit to my bathroom fan. I looked at my babies today growin quick maybe 10-14 days till I can start filling the screen and flip to 12/12. I'm excited. Oh if you look on my 600w in my sig I posted a picture of all the vegging babies and ripe ladies.
