First Grow-Grow Box-CFL's-Mr. Nice Guy and Afghanica

[IndyRocKStar76]

THE SETUP: DWC/Aeroponic hybrid system w/ 5 in pots (8 plants), 400w hps/hallide conversion light on adjustable light hangers, and I'm growing ice strain feminized from holland. Using botanicare CNS17 premium nutes, with Bontanicare Karma (catalyst, enzymes, beneficials) I have two 5" circular airstones being pushed by a 2800cc air pump, and 180 gpm water pump. Using Sure To Grow (STG) grow 1.5" cubes and Hydroton. Grow room is 4x5x8 (20 square feet or 2 sq meters.) Room is a walk in closet w/ a standard swing door. I sealed the sides and top for seepage. Room is completely lined with Mylar (2mm) on all walls and ceiling. Floor is carpented lined with tempered glass on top. Using Alen airpurifier, and a humidifier or dehumidifier if needed. 20" box fan for circulation.

I see time after time on these sites that people never give the details of their setup and then get asked over and over what they are using in order to answer their question(s). So I don't think I left out anything.
-
Anyway, the questions are....
How many plants do you think I can grow in this room with the 400w hps? Do I need an additional lights for another 8 or 12 plants in the confined space? How much does the mylar assist in reflecting light to the lower branches once the plants beging to grow higher? (I plan to veg to 24"-36" before flowering) I'd like to expect 2lbs from each 8 plant DWC/Aeroponic set up; is this unreasonable? (ICE strain is a Northern lights/Afghan cross est 550-650 g/m2)
Also considering using a 2x5x8 (10 sq ft) porch closet as an auxillary grow room. Will one 400hps/hallide conversion be enough for this confined space w/ 8-12 plants? How much will aspiration per plant raise the humidity at 75F?

I'm not new to growing, but new to cannabis. I'm growing for sale. Thanks for you advice.

If I forgot something then let me know. thanks agian.

So today i bit the bullet and switched her into flowering:thumbsup::thumbsup: I went and picked up some tiger bloom to start things off and then once more funds come in ill be given her some big bloom as well. I am also in the process of making a mini box for the clones i took to see if i can't get two boxes going

pictures soon to comeeee

peace yall:hippy:


o and does anyone happen to know how to change the name of this thread?? i cant seem to figure it out :wtf: haha

[live2last]

The flowering stage has been going for a few days now and i can already see a difference


Ive got a few questions thought....

First on is that there are alot of leaves that dont seem to be getting any light and not really having a purpose so should i prune them or just let them chill and if they fall off then they fall off. I'd like to clean it up a bit cuz theres just a mess of leaves.... not that thats necessarily a bad thing

Anyways leave me some feedback and shit:rastasmoke:

[Brainy]

Lookn good. Keep the leaves. Nice and green. Just fold the bigger fans under the growing tips. Keep the tips exposed to keep all of the branches growing evenly. The leaves are where the plants produce chlorophyl and store sugars. Keep it up!

Thanks man will do.

So it turns out my timer doesnt work So im gonna manually do it until i figure something out.

does anyone know of a good but cheap timer that works???

thanksss:rastasmoke:

[Brainy]

I am using intermatic 15 amp manual timers. Both the 110 and 240 volt seem 2 be workin fine. Anyone else?

[live2last]

I found a timer at walmart again, i should have just sprung for the 8 dollar one the first time haha. Either way it works and im thinkin im gonna try and return the old one because walmart needs to be knocked down a notch haha:thumbsup:

Anyways, things are lookin great. She grew up into the light a little bit and burned a few leaves but i tied it down so hopefully it wont happen for another while but we shall see...

And also the clones i took 11 days ago still havent rooted :/ they're still green but no roots. I dont have a heating mat so does that mean they wont root or will it just take longer??


Thanks and let me know what you think :hippy:

(ps thanks for the timer help anyways brainy)
