Layout for my new grow room

[leafy]

Ok, I've spent weeks finding equipment and crap,

 

1) Grow box 1.5mx2mx2m (1.5 high)

2) 5x 4 Autopot systems

3) Hps, HID as usual.

4) the nutes

5) Ozone air filter

6)prop tray

7) rockwool cubes

8) CFL grow (light for cloning)

9) Expanded clay balls

10) Timers, and temp gauges

11) Fan (small for inside grow tent)

 

AM I MISSING ANYTING?

 

Does anyone have any information reguarding Belladonna strain and afghanica strain?

 

they look tasty. Does anyone have any info on starting a fake PO box either?

 

Plus in 6 months I'll send it in for canna porn.

Something you might want to consider leafy, is possibly see if you can tip the cab on it's side so it measures 2 metres tall instead of 1.5 metre high. The reason i mentioned that is by the time you put your buckets/pots 'n light/s in there. It'll roughly leave you half a metre for growth of the plant/s.

 

It might be right for ya for growing strains like belladonna 'n other shortarse strains. But if you wanna have a go at something that requires more space, you might end up kicking yourself later on.

 

Also, just used the OSA Room Calculator, and something the size of your cab seems to require 1724 watts for optimum results. Which results in having 2x600w lights or 4x400w lights. So you can possibly expect to see a decent power bill each quarter of $4-500 (@ 15 cents a Kilowatt), just for the grow alone. Maybe more, just a rough ballpark figure...

 

You could rip the power off, but it's something i wouldn't recommend or practice. Because the state i live in, the fine for ripping power exceeds the fine of just the grow alone. Plus ya can't grow much MJ if ya buried six feet under...

 

[EDIT] I know the lights don't add up in regards to the 1724 watts. But i did remove a light that wouldn't be required for the space for the pots/buckets would use.

stealing power is never a good idea as most people who dont get narked on get busted for stealing the power if worse comes to worse you could speak to your local hydro shop guy. i spoke to one the other day about upgrading my garden and he said if i need electrical work done he has a few customers which are electricians and have no problems helping fellow growers out. to be honest though i wouldnt be too keen on letting a stranger in to do work on your garden though so you should talk to some friends first and see if any of them are electricians or know anybody who is one and is completely trustworthy.

Hey leafy if you get a real stinky strain dont count on the ozone completely masking the smell cause ive used the ozone but its nowhere near as good as a carbon filter .. if its a low odour strain it might be ok though ..

maybe a PH meter or the colour stuff so you know where your PH is , admittedly its not essential though

 

best of luck

ok, fuck, what would be a better set up for the 5 Autopot systems? the strain im getting is Afghanica?

 

I need a setup that wont cost an arm and a leg.

mmm, I just had an Idea, fluros.... anyone on here grow with fluros? if theres someone who does i'd like to speak to em.

I have grown Belladonna.

A short squat strain; the side branches sort of grow out sideways.

Not a high yield.

The buds dry to a beautiful pale lime green colour.

Ok for a nice personal stash but if you want more of a yield then go for something else.
