I live in an apartment building so space and smell are major considerations for a little grow. I have two large PC cases that I can use, one for vegging, the other for flowering. I'm considering a two or three plant PC stealth grow and have a couple of questions: 1.) I'm planning on vegging...

I'm starting two small veg cabs, one for germ/cloning and a second for vegging till its ready to move into a flowering cab (250w HID) How many CFLs (watts/ plant) should I expect to use in the veg cabs? Are there good specs out there for CFL mounts that I can adjust the height (as the plant...

I’m in the midst of designing a 3 chamber grow cab. One large chamber will house the 250 HID for flowering, and there will be two additional chambers, one for germ/cloning (veg) and the second for vegging. I am planning on using CFLs for vegging + SCROG. Can someone recommend the...

Thanks Spoc. Yeah, I was planning on removing the drawers, but keeping the fronts attached to the face of the cab so it looks like sock and undies are in there haha. Now all i need to figure out is how to the lock the thing in a subtle way (ie: no padlock on the doors etc)

Thanks brother! I saw it and it immediately called to me. Would blend in perfectly with other furniture in my home office and is tall enough to house carbon filter and all the goodies. I'm not so much worried about air circulation as I am about light sealing the thing. The two primary light...

Any comments/suggestions regarding a potential Ikea hack? specs on it read Width: 43 1/4 " Depth: 24 " Height: 78 " I'd keep front of the drawers intact but the entire wardrobe would be the grow space (lined with reflective mylar. i'd do a 250w HID in here... should i be concerned...

So I have a very finite amount of space, height-wise that I'm working with. My grow cab's grow space is 5ft. Subtract the space needed for the hood and light (250w HID) and subtract usable space by a good 10 inches. So we're talking about 4ft from the bottom of the cab to the bottom of the...

I'm planning on starting from seed and vegging and flowering using a 250w HPS/MH setup. How long, generally, are you guys vegging (from seed) under 250s before switching over to 12/12? Once you switch to 12/12, how much more growth (height-wise) can you expect?

I switched over to a 8 bulb T5 Floro system (in soil). How does this affect my nutrient feed schedule? Do I simply proceed as before? I am planning on a 4 to 6 plant grow (LST) in soil, from seed. I plan on using one or two gallon pots in a foxfarm medium. Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes. Specifically, I'm looking to light seal my cab. The only place light is coming in is via the passive air intake hole at the bottom of the cab. I need to install a light baffle to 100% prevent light from coming in while allowing air to freely flow into the cab.

Does changing over from a HPS/MH setup to a T5 Floro setup affect the nutrient feeding schedule at all? Or do we simply feed/proceed as normal?

I'm about to germinate and am planning on using a seedling heat mat to promote root growth. Should the tray be placed directly onto the heat mat? Do I need an electronic temp controller? If so, what is the optimal temp? Thanks in advance guys!

Does anyone have any specifications regarding the design of effective light baffles? I need to build one that will provide sufficient air to a grow cab (3 ft deep x 4.5 ft wide x 5.5 ft tall) using an 8-bulb T5 HO lighting setup. I'm planning on 4 to 6 plants, LST etc...)

Spending 72 hours just reading the forum will increase your knowledge exponentially. Start anywhere. Check out the newbie, indoor grow, and growroom design threads. 72 hours man... believe.

in the proposed cab design, i'm thinking it would be approximately 6ft tall, 3 ft deep, and about 4 1/2 ft wide, how many plants would be doable using an 8 bulb (4ft) T5 HO system? If necessary, I would also purchase a couple single T5 fixtures to light the plants from the bottom up (if the...
