Help me set up my medical room!

[5cooby doo]

Looking for some idea's on building this medical room, max 20 plants. Already have a 400w hps/mh and 4" inline. Was most likely going to get a 1000W hps/mh with a 10" inline. Would probably use both 400+1000 mh and hps. 4" inline for intake and 10 inline for exhaust? Have space appr0x. 10ft-10ft-10ft maybe a little more or could use less. Since I have severe chronic pain I would need a strong Indica strain. Any suggestions for strain and lighting? Most likely soil. With the 400w I pulled decent yield 2o/per and the quality was good, but still had a lot I could improve. I would like to improve my quality and yield. (Previous time= heat issue, nothing to check ph, not great nutes/ very minimal). Don't know if I need a full count of 20, but it is depend on the way chosen to grow right? I'm juggling around the idea of a SOG (sea of green) or just a regular perpetual grow? Anything you guys can throw at me is appreciated! :jointsmile:

check into induction lighting if heat is an issue. I use cfl's and im happy with my medical grade, way way better than any top shelf from a shop/clinic.

inda grow & igrow induction lights. (google it)

I havnt tried them yet, but they claim, a 200w setup is better than a 1000w hps

I would opt for quality versus Yield. especially if its for meds; setup a perpetual grow. divide your space into 2 areas. vegg & flower.

sog, (sea of green) many small plants!! the best. quick turnaround.
I just did that with about 12 plants in a 4x4x8 with no topping, so the potency would be higher and juicier buds, they were literally dripping with thc ooze & oils. IMO topping cripples the quality.

lol hps is still the bedst lumen out take on the marked trust me i have read alot about all this cfl and led grow think the HPS and MH still runs over the cfl's and led's and make better yield and quality :) tell me wher the hell have you read that cfl's beat hps realy ? i wona know becors i cant find 1 place wher ppl tell that

[growdemon]

well if you read my post. its not a compact fluorescent. its an induction light. it could look like one thou... but its not.
check the forums.. some people are using them.

I use induction lighting...have for a over a year now...lots of advantages over hps and mh...no heat issues,lower electric bills and no sacrifice of quality or yield.

[growdemon]

very cool, which induction light are you using

[bigbud hoop]

In my flower room I have (2) 400w Inda-grow lights the ballasts piggy back the hood....in my veg room I have a single 200w inda-gro light

guys mabey this will work but think another time again. this is for medical use to him its importen this is the bedst quality and hid and hps are the most efektiv lights for growing cannabis on the marked and you get more lumens / k than any other light on the market watts. go and look it up on whatever side you feel like this is right faq. no home guesswork. man if you are going to make your own medical grow room go with the hid for veg's and hps for flower

[growdemon]

thenewgrow, dude just chill on your HID HPS, are you a sales person for an HID company. got any to show! let see what your HPS can do.

5cooby is already using HPS lighting. "yield 2o/per and the quality was good, but still had a lot I could improve. I would like to improve my quality and yield. (Previous time= heat issue"

so anyway.

Harlequin strain is what you might want.

here is a snippet I found

--------------------------------------------


While there seems to be an ongoing debate within the cultivation community over which strain, Indica or Sativa, has the natural ability to produce the greatest amount of CBD cannabinoid. One things for certain â?? the Harlequin strain produces one of the highest naturally occurring levels of CBD currently available at dispensaries today. A Sativa dominant hybrid, Harlequin is comprised of 25% Indica and 75% Sativa. Great for the truly ill, who seek to avoid the psychoactive nature of THC, while benefiting from one of the highest CBD percentages available on the market today.

Basic Info: Harlequin is no clown â?? though she is a clone. With a genetic lineage reaching back to the heyday of heirloom marijuana strains. A day when Thai Stick and Colombian Gold reigned supreme, and THC levels hovered in the low teens; this modern-day miracle plant is now highly sought after by those in search of the miracle cannabinoid â?? CBD. While famously low in THC, Harlequin is equally famous for consistently producing buds ranging between 4% â?? 7% in cannabidiol.

Affect: Bear in mind â?? this is not the strain for you if youâ??re just looking to get high. However for the sick and suffering, this strain is a lifesaver. Great for for those that suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder,social anxiety or chronic discomfort.

Scent: While in the final stages of development â?? as the nearly mature buds hang from her elongated branches â?? Harlequins aroma is evocative of a pungent tropical feast. Complete with a mango / pineapple potpourri, the terpenes alone seem to have a sedative affect all on their own.

Growth and Seed Info: The ever elusive Harlequin strain is famous for being a trichome drenched, fast flowering master of the indoor-hydroponic cultivation set. Contrary to most strains, the active cannabinoid sought in Harlequin begins to diminish towards the end of its flowering cycle â?? where most plants would increase their cannabinoid percentages. The difference of just two short weeks can mean a reduced CBD percentage of between 2% â?? 4%.

Tidbits: A medium yield producer, Harlequin plants at full expression tend to fall and drape themselves. As a matter of precaution, many cultivators choose to support them with either a string grid â?? or simple bamboo stakes.
