OUTDOORS TO INDOORS

[aussiepothead]

i have a plant that has been growing outdoors for about 4 months it is a good big healthy plant i recently put in under a 400 watt light in a wardrobe. do i need to do anything else to the setup is a light just enough or do i need more equipment,how far away should the plant be from the light.

im pretty wasted so i hope this makes sense.

here is a "simple list"

 

Any good potting putting mix. Ask at the nursery/hardware for a potting mix for a PH of around 6.5.

 

nutes - yates thrive for veg and yates lush for flower.

 

You don't need a PH meter but if you have a spare $100 they can be useful, even for oil. So if you want buy a PH meter and some PH down from a hydro shop. PH meters are mostly the same. the average PH meter from the hydro shop for around $100 is usually fine.

 

pots with saucers, say around 300mm

 

grow light. I would recommend a 400watt HPS with remote ballast.

 

You need at cabinet to grow in. About 600x900x1800 is an average size for a 400watt light.

 

flat white paint to paint the inside of your cabinet.

 

temperature guage with min/max function.

 

exhaust fan. cut holes in cabinet to let air in. you are aiming for 24-27 degrees. if its too hot add more exhaust/inlet fans. buy fan rated for continious use. try to duct exhaust to outside of the room your cabinet is in.

i cant put exhaust fans in but would it be ok if i opened one of the doors slightly.

Circulation is very important , maybe you could get by, by putting a small desk fan inside with the door slightly ajar.

Extraction of hot air and the introduction of fresh air is of paramount importance with a hid light. Unless you happen to be growing on a mountain somewhere and it doesn't get hot, and you've got an area which blows a gale past the growrooms open doors, then you're gunna need an extractor.

 

Air, Light, Temp, Water, Nutes.
