Hey guys looking at growing in a tambour cabinet. http://www.just-office-furniture.co.uk/office-furniture/acatalog/Commercial-Desking-Ascot-TWS-9060-Tambour-Cabinet.jpg Dimensions should be about 120cm (W) x 60cm (D) x 90cm (H) How should I set this up, what lights should I use, is there a light I can leave in there that will do both Veg and Flower? Might put some netting up if it grows too high. Thinking that I might just put a couple of fluro's on the sides of the case left / right and at the back and a couple of those energy saving lights up top..... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Ok so I'm looking at making a micro stealth grow out of an old cupboard I found. I'll be growing a couple of shivas. First up, this grow is a learning experience, so I'd love to hear your input. The dimensions are 42x42x75cm. I realise it's not the biggest grow space but I've seen it done in much smaller and am not after huge quantities. I'd be growing in a soil and perlite mix 70/30. I'm looking at using either lst, scrog, reverse scrog and pinching. My basic idea is attached. I'm going to coat the walls with mylar, drill a cable hole on the back, an exhaust hole and an input hole on the front. I'm on a budget and am also not sure if I should be putting an…

Hey, I am building a cabinet 2 ft * 3 ft by 6 ft high with a 600 w hps i plan to have two sections one for flowering and one for veg and or mother plant. My current worry atm will be maintaining the temperature doesn't get to high, As this is my first grow i would like some ideas on a strain that will be the most most rewarding for a newbie and how many would comfortably fit within my cupboard and maybe even approximate yields i know there are many influences on possible yields, so with that said what is reasonable yield for such space then. I plan to hopefully finish construction of my cabinet tommorow and will post some pictures so everyone can h…

Does anyone out there know if Hepa filters decrease airflow much? I got my first case of Budrot in my last grow...fuck that is some nasty shit! At the moment Fish is running 2 x 200ml inline fans which provide good ventilation in my 7x5x4ft growbox (I can't afford Centrifigal fans yet) but I would like to put Hepas on the intakes if they won't decrease the airflow too much? Cheers, Fish

Hi, hope everyone that is reading this is well. After lots of questions related with the construction of my first indoor cab ever... finally i ve finished it and i already installed one lamp of 400 hps!.

The new dimensions for my cab are: 180 cms H x 120 cms W x 600 cms Deep. to make reflectant the interior is just used normal kitchen foil paper that may be isn´t the best reflection that i would use( no more $$$ i ve got a really low budget !! ) but i think that is reflecting anyways. i made 1 passive intake (190 cms x 130 cms) in the lower …

Cheers sexy people.

Espalier (pronounced ess-pal-ih-YAY) is the technique of training fruit or ornamental trees on to a flat plane surface like a wall, fence or free-standing trellis. Cannabis growers will say 'hey, that's just vertical ScrOG.' The espalier technique may have some application to the indoor grower who is inclined toward ScrOG. The light could be hung vertically in a cooltube, 'stadium' style, with the plants espalier trained on to a cylindrical screen surrounding the light. I've seen a similar 'coliseum' or 'stadium' grow op before, which used individual plants on pots on shelves surrounding the light, but the plants had not been trained to a screen. ABC's Gardening Aust…

Hey guys i started building my first grow today. Its in a 2.8x1.5 room. Enclosure itself is 1.8x1.3 Today i put up the grow room enclosure and started setting up the run-to-waste system. Because its my first grow i am only setting up for about 6 pots.. i have enough room for 10 tho and that will be my target. Next weekend ill be setting up the 2x 600hps and exhaust into roof. One question i have is where the door on my enclosure is there is a small space where light peeks in, should the enclosure be light proof or is a tiny amount of light okay? I have taken some pics but i cant find my USB cord so as soon as i find it ill upload some photos

I am setting up a wardrobe grow, and am wondering how many plants to put in, and what size the pots should be? The space is 1600mm high, 1120 wide, and 510 deep. The pots I have are 330mm tall, but i'm thinking they may be a bit big for such a small space. They will have to be raised 200mm to be above the nute level in the res. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys what would u say would be the smallest growing space for a 250w HPS if its well ventilated? The 250 can also be modded to be a cooltube which i am looking at doing as i have already got a Bake-a-round pyrex tube. Otherwise im looking at getting one of those Fluro growing lights. What dimentions would be the smallest i can get away with? Just curious because i have a 31"x24"x20"(HxLxD) mdf box i can use. Is it possable in that space? I was thinking either a SCROG or a SOG. At the moment i thing the SOG would work much better for the space. let me know what u guys think! Emps

well hello to all and welcome. just been doing a little renovating in the room and i thought i would give yas a lookie. got a new cupboard for nothing from a friend and soon it will be home to my 2 pot system. will be fitting it out this weekend with a new 200mm extraction fan in the roof, passive inlets around the bottom of the cupboard, a 600w hps( cool tube i think ) for the lights, panda film around the insides and that will probably just about do it. this cupboard will grow some of the other strains that i am not growing in the big box and also will be home to my seeding project( later in the year ) the big box is just waiting on my newest strain addition, being …

I've decided to get my shit together and get a nice discreet grow closet. Im using an old clothes hanging closet, it had a shelf on top which the floor of was just two pieces of ply wood so I took out the piece to the bac kso I could maximise the air space and keep the hot air furthest from the plants and exhaust out the top while using the other half at the front as a shelf to sit my power board. It also has a clothes hanger which im using to hang the lights off. At the moment i've just set up some basic stuff to get some seedlings going since I dont have a proper light yet, but i'm picking up a second hand 400 watt hps with new bulb on saturday. Ive got one seed (c…
