Can It Be Done

[Damion5050]

Alright this is my final idea of a setup and I was wondering if anyone thinks it would work.. My wife will not let me use the closet as originally planned so I was thinking about getting an Armoire CLICK FOR PICTURE (http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/furniture-sale_1996_184091316).. Of course I will take the shelves out.. I would make one shelf to seperate some bottom area for cloning space.

I was gona get a Emily's Garden Hydroponic System if it would fit inside the armoire. I still need to take measurments.. And for lighting right now because I don't have the extra money I was thinking about getting a New Wave T5 setup, its 2 foot comes with 2 lamps 4000lumens, or a 2 foot with 4 lamps and 8000 lumens or the one with 8 lamps and 16K lumens.. Of course this all depends on the internal measurments of the armoire..

So what do you think you think I could pull it off and grow a couple healthy plants..

those are great if you dont have lots of room

ive seen afew grows in those and they can be setup pretty good

good luck on everything

do u think i should be alright with the emilys garden or should i make my own out of a 3 and 5 gallon bucket?

I would make my own if i was short on money, there is a lot of satisfaction in improvisation.

Yeah I decided on making my own I have supplies on the way as we speak, just ordered them today.. Now the problem is lighting.. I am stuck on wether I should go with a T5 2 foot 8 lamp setup that does 16K lumens.. Or a CFL setup? The thing is I am not sure how many CFL I would need, so if anyone can help me out I would appreciate it.. Also if u can post what type of bulbs to buy for the CFL, cause I am not that sure

Once my supplies get here and I start building my setup, I'll get some pics on the site..

Damion5050 IMHO the more light the better as you dont have a lot of room for your grow its a case of what fits best. :)

Hi D5050 It looks a bit skinny the 2ft (8 lamp) might not fit
will a 2ft or 4ft(4 lamp)one fit up top / oh I just looked
at the pic again and that looks to be approx 18inx36in ??
I would go for cfl on this its looks too small for big T5's and
that way you can get the 2700k bulbs for flower. the watts
on these are usually 23w and 42w or close too that.
use the 6500k for veg cycle same wattage on them.
Homedepot/lowes/walmart are good for having 3 or 4 pks!!
for under$10 boom ur ready!! :stoned:

Thx for the advice, I will give you exact dimensions tomorrow I am going to go buy the armoire, It's alittle different that the one in the picture.. So I may be able to fit the T5's in the new one cause it's actually really really big..

I'll send stats tomorrow after I purchase it and put it together..
