New grower, please help

[n1nj4squirrel]

the area that i have is about 4'x3'x5'. i want to be able to flower 1 and veg 1 plant at a time. also, what kind of yields can i get with a grow cab this big?

yield should be your last concern for now, plus alot of variables come into play. I suggest doing more than 1 plant per side just in case. Topping and LST will increase yield as well as SCROG. If your into cloning and alot more than 1 plant you can try SOG which will likely be the best yielding method.

what kind of grow equipment do you already have?(ie: lights, fans, pH meters, nutes)

The more info you can provide the easier it will be helping you design a cab.

i've got the cfl's and a ton of computer fans already. everything else that i need i can get my hands on for pretty cheap.

Do you mean you want to be able to run both cycles simultaneously? If so, you'd have to divide your cabinet in 2, have 2 of everything (lights/timer/ventilation).. could get spendy, though could be managed with some clever stoner engineering..

In my box, the main grow space is 4' x 2' x 4' 10", plus the light takes up a good bit of room. I ended up veg/flowering 5 plants with the tallest being about 30". It's tight, but this grow I'm expecting on the order of about a 1/2 pound from 5 plants. Nothing fancy, just good clones, great soil and controlled environment...

Good luck!

Peace, Farmer Rich

i only want 2 plants at a time so i can give them all the room in the world. i can get my hands on enough 120mm computer fans so that is not a worry. i've got 3-4 packs of cfl's that i was gonna use. everything else i can get from home depot. (my friend works their, and i can get his discount) i'm also only growing for me and 1 other guy

ok cool, I have a basic idea of what you trying to do. Will you need odor control or is stealth not a problem? I got everything for my cab at HD and since your friend works at HD your all set with material.

this link will help greatly if you read it all.

odor wont be much of a problem, and we dont really have to worry about anyone finding it. if odor does become a problem, i can rig up something. (blissfully high right now:bonghit
