Although I've only been a member for a month or so I've already started to realize that there is a pretty good chance (let me do the calculations here...) that there is a 94.33% chance that someone, somewhere, at some time has already asked, and gotten a response to the same exact question I have had.
That being said, your lights should be fine for 2 - 4 plants.. the real questions is: What medium are you going to use for growing? In a small space like that, i doubt you are going to go with ebb and flow.. so lets check that one off the list.
Next would be DWC. I find this useful in small spaces, and they can easily handle 2-4 plants in an 18 gal res. The downside to DWC is monitoring water temp, PPH and pH. You want to make sure you have enough air in the tank. And if you dont construct a drip feed, you may have to watch the moisture of the rockwool cubes and manually water them until the roots enter the water..
Next soil... I dont have much experience with soil and cannabis, normally i only grow fruits and veggies in soil. But you can't skimp just because its soil either... Don't just get the cheapest potting soil you can find at walmart because of bacteria and other nasties that can be mixed right in with it. Personally I HATE the word(s) Miracle-Grow... but the choice is yours..
Ventilation:
Do you have any? Do you want any? Do you need any?
Water:
Are you going to use tap water, distilled, reverse osmosis, city water?
Nutes:
Any idea's what you want to use? Can you get nutes locally?
Temp:
*See ventilation
Power Consumption:
Worried about that spinning wheel in the back of the house? Are you growing in a closet? Are you going to be running all this off extension cords?
You asked a pretty general question without providing any real information...
IMO THATS why you haven't gotten any responses.. I've found that very specific questions tend to get very specific answers..
Hope this helps.... MA
lol sry for callin u guys and gals assholes. but heres what im thinkin,yes im goin to mg soil with feed for up to 3 mths it has worked great for me in veg i dont even have to feed them,ventilation 2, 4 inch fans intake and exhaust, temp with light on is 77 at the hottest 68 at the lowest,oh and 4 3 gallon pots thinkin bout skunk,beastie blooms 0-50-30 for flowering with distilled water.walls are painted bright white.and the light about 8 inches away with heat sheild.i will veg for 1 month or when they get about 12 to 15 inches.do u think i will get a good yeild for this first one and just curious about how much do u think i have overall pretty good conditions.any replies appreciated thanks guys .:hippy:
What kinda lite have you got? Sounds pretty good so far to me... Lots of people here hate mg soil, I got a lot and now don't know if I should use it or not. Glad to hear u did good. Last time I used MG soil, I use that bloom fert and shit went bad after that. Be careful. I fried some that way.
when using a pre-fertilized soil, such as the Miracle-Grow, etc., you just have to remember, your plants shouldn't need more ferts added until flowering, if at all ... that's really the problem with it, as it limits your ability to 'fine-tune' nutes for a particular period in the plant's growth ... (hard to cut back nitrogen during flowering, for example, since it's already 'there' in the soil) ... if you used just the MG soil, without added nutes, you would 'likely' have healthy plants, but not likely to achieve their potential ... the absolute BEST plants I have ever seen, are grown outdoors annually, in an earthworm-casting rich, composted soil, adding nothing but MiracleGro fertilizer, once weekly ... (I would post pics, but have promised not to) ... one word: MONSTERS, with not one single, yellow or pale leaf, NO burning, etc. ... Miracle-Grow isn't a bad product, it's just usually mis-used ... :smokin:
thanks guys im goin to use a hortilux eye for veg 250 watt and a phillips ceramic hps 250 watt for flower and i dont use any ferts durin veg they seem to do fine until flower im gonna try the beastie blooms powder mix.then slowely add malasses to the feed.thanks for the input guys and still any input is appreciated still havnt started construction yet thats why i want all the help i can get that way it will be better in the end.later
