Slowing getting there. I guess this will be the blog.
Okay so my clothing had to be moved out of this little wardrobe into the closet. It seems kind of small but hopefully it'll do for now.
Break down of what I've setup so far, not what I've bought. Spending too much, it was suppose to be a very simply setup but it's getting more and more so on.
The wardrobe is 28inch x 18in x 46in high from the inside.
Lighting:
Grow period:
6 x 15w daylight Philips which is 6500k not on package had to look it up online. Each one gives off 950 lumens.
2 x 27w Noma natural cool which is 4100k at least on the package. Each one gives 1600 lumens.
1 x 23w Globe soft white which is 2600k again online check hopefully correct. Each one gives 1600 lumes.
10500 lumes as of this setup. 197watts of power consumed.
One tube one specific for growth picked up at wally, for like 10 bucks 30watts doesnâ??t look bright at all. Lumes can't remember.
I can add couple more by adding more splitters which I have bought already, but donâ??t have any more high k for vegging/growth.
Caved in one night while drunk and ordered the 400watt HPS setup with MH converter bulb from insidesun. Not sure if I'll use it for after vegging or a whole other setup.
50000lumens for 400watts, bulbs at about 20-40 bucks made sense. Heat will be a major problem though.
Original plan was just to switch the cfl to 2400k for flowering, seemed cheapest that way.
Soil:
Probably not the best type but its the only type that I came across miracle-gro potting mix 0.14-0.14.-0.14 I'll get some nutrients so on hopefully that will improve the soil. Been looking for pro-mix but can't find locally.
Vent:
Making a homemade carbon filter, thanks to fellow member for the idea. Still need clamps 4in/6in, activated carbon, and cap. Fan (inline) not sure where I should buy one. There are some on eBay for cheap.
Seeds:
White widow, from bcbuddepot hopefully they'll arrive soon without a problem. I'll probably cave in and buy some locally like I should have.
Nutrients:
Bustan.ca will probably be the place where I pick up those since local homedepot doesnâ??t have much of a selection. Not sure which/what though for vegging/flowering.
Vegging - High first number I hear is good for this stage 5-1-1 or something but cant find on bustan that I'd be happy with.
I guess that's it for first blog, if I'm at error somewhere please point it/them out.
Water:
Got a brita filter that screws onto the tap, is that enough to clean the chlorine or should I still let it sit out. Ordered a ph test a cheap paper one but figured it'll do for a start. Ph reducer will get from pet store, those are good enough right? Said for aquariums only or something, but if it doesnt kill a fish it's probably good enough for a plant.
Wardrope:
Still need reflective lining, added some to the inside door but it was expensive and small. It was meant more for metallic finish for contour tops. Might pick up some white wall paper or something instead.
Questions:
How big of a container does a plant need? I think the one I got is large enough if I'm not mistaken for a plant or two per.
