Hey guys this is my first grow, so I was wondering if i could ask you some advice. I'm looking to grow enough weed for me and my buddies as we are tired of paying premium prices for shitty herb. My growing space is going to be about 3 1/2 feet long , 2 feet wide and 5 feet tall. Price is less of an issue, I' m willing to spend 1200 dollar total on the grow, ill probably run soil aswell to keep noise to a mimimum from hydroponic pumps, (perhaps even deep water cultivation).
I will be able to pass off the cabinet for legitamate purposes , due to the nature of my work , so i can guarentee no one will open it besides myself, however, people such as visiting parents , will probably be going into the room that the cabinat is in, so excessive noise and smell will be an issue.
I'm currently thinking of 400 watts HPS for lighting , probably drop 200 $ on an excellent carbon filter / fan for the exhaust and an intake fan aswell (the exhaust creating a vacuum , so all air is relieved through the filter).
My Questions are:
1) Will smell be an issue? If someone is in the same room as the cabinet is it going to reek blatently like growage even if I spend the appropriate amount of money on ona products and proper exhuast?
2) Will sound be an issue? I was thinking of buying a darkroom grow tent, then incasing it in sound proofing and surround the whole thing in a big cabinet.
3) What would be an easy way to control humidity in an air conditioned house?
4) How will my exhast system have to be setup? will air have to be mounted outside necessarily? will it just need to be exhausted or intaken from another room instead?
5) What would be an ideal strain to grow? I was thinking something like white widow due to the shorter profile, yet lowryder would be too small for this height, any suggestions?
I've been lurkin the forums for years and finally decided to create an account with my upcoming grow, thanks to any experiances growers for their advice!
