Well I've learned that the prices for weed in my area are pathetic so I've decided to grow my own maybe in an apartment or something with a roof, sometime in the future. ($110+ qt. for some dank ) Here's the plan: Closet Grow Op Balance: $800 Space: 5x4x8 Guidelines: 10,000 lumens per plant 6.5-7 pH / 70-80 ‘F SCRoG (for yield) Cycles: Germ & Seed stage – 2-3 weeks Vegetation stage (21/3 ~ 600w MH) -Top plants @ 4-6 node --> turn to clones -Can take clones @ 5th week (5-10 days to root) -Begin nutrients @ 6th week – More N – Barney’s LSD = 6-8 weeks / Kali Mist = 7+ weeks Flowering stage (12/12 ~ 400w HPS) -Begin to gradually add more P, K / Less N – Barney’s LSD = 9+ weeks / Kali Mist = 10-11 weeks Drying stage - Hope to get about 3+ oz per plant Set up (5x4x8 Closet): -4 Plants + Seeds ($400) Lights, Housing & Ballast – 400w HPS/400w MH ($50+) Soil – Regular Soil / FF Ocean Forest Soil + Perlite (30%) ($25+) Ventilation – 200+ CFM fan/ Another if needed ($150) Seeds – Barney’s LSD, Kali Mist (Critical Seeds) ($30) Nutrients – Veg. & Flower NPK nutes ($60+) Extras – Screen, PH Meter,Thermometer, mylar etc ________________ Some questions I have are: - What is a reasonable price to pay for a full light system (400HPS/MH)? I was looking around and it seems like $400 is around the amount. http://www.texashydroponics.com/shop/product.php?productid=2474&cat=3&page=1 (with everything i chose its $385) -Do the other prices look reasonable? - Would these four plants have too much of an odor to contain in the grow room if I open the door a couple or so times? Could I just buy some cheap odor absorbers? - For the SCRoG screen I thought of getting an old square foldout table and cut the middle, where I can attach the screen, would this be viable? - What is the price range to light these bulbs add up to, does it stand out a lot using MH bulbs? ________________ Now even though this will be my first official grow I want to be able to grow my own, smoke my own, sell to regain what I spent and maybe make a little bit extra for college. I also might take a couple of clones, root them, put under some CFL's and begin to flower in a separate room to get some early buds. But of course these are only thoughts :conehead:
