Hey Everyone! I'm new to this board, and it seems like there are a lot of experience growers on here. I have read a lot online and done a lot of research, and am now going to get into some growing of my own. I just ordered some seeds (Jock Horror, Blue Mystic, and Haze).
First off, i was looking at ordering one of those "Sunlight Sheds" but didnt have the money to spend, so simply put, I went to multiple hardware stores and bought my own parts and then spent 2 or 3 days putting everything together. I was hoping you guys should give me some suggestions....i was going to get a 600w MH/HPS light, I already ordered a 10 plant drip system with 3 inch growing cups and 10 gallon resovior, will be using rockwool and volcanic grow rocks. I also ordered PH UP and DOWN as well as a tester, ozone generator (a small one), thermometer / humidity tester, as well as some nutrients. Any suggestions, anything i'm doing wrong? I'm a first timer, but trying to get it right.
Here's what the outside of my growbox looks like so far:
I put a chair next to it, to kind of give you an idea of size.
Terrible camera...i know haha. I lined the inside with bubbled insulation, which is VERY reflective, and lined any edges with reflective tape.
The top right of the closet has 2 vents, one sucking air out from the bottom grow area (pic below), and another sucking air in from the top of the closet (pic below). The hot air is going out a window behind the closet (noone will be able to see it).
Fresh air comes in through this duct.
Ducting behind the unit.
2 Foot wide area up top for germination and such.
Also I was wondering, of the 3 strains of seeds that I got, which ones should have the best yield, which would you suggest me growing with first?
Thanks everyone!
