Hello Rollitup community!
I'm a medical marijuana user and have finally received my paperwork to start legally growing! I'm really excited to be able to grow my own medicine legally. This seems like a great community to be a part of, and I will definitely appreciate any constructive criticism from some more experienced growers.
Here are the variables.
- I am allowed to have 25 plants total in my grow area.
- Space in my grow area allows 2 4x4 flowering tent.
- Mother/Clone/Veg tent needs to be smaller with lower max height due to sloped ceiling (May custom build unit to shape)
- I already have a 1000W Digital Ballast (dimmable to 600W and 750W) .
- Will purchase a second light
- Have 2 15A breakers to power everything
- Pro-Mix HP Pearlite Worm Castings with Organic Nutrient mix, wanted to keep it super simple for first grow.
-5L Smart Pots for the girls
My original plan was to run a 4x4 veg tent and a 4x4 flower tent but I think it makes may more sense to utilize two high wattage lights for flowering, and setup a third smaller tent with T5s or Linear LEDs for cloning/pre veg. I currently have one 4x4 tent started with seedlings growing and will be expanding the closer they get to flowering.
I want to eventually switch over to a complete LED setup, but I think for the time being I need to just grab another HPS/MH setup on the cheap until I can fork the money out for all the components for a COB or quantum board build (baby steps).
Due to power constraints I think I will be able to run 2 lights at 600W, maybe 750W once I see what total draw from everything else is.
The two 4x4 tents are setup beside each other, both lights will be vented with one fan outside. I want to vent smell through both tents through a single carbon filter. Should I put a single fan on top of each tent to the filter, or one large fan to pull air through both tents?
Given what I am allowed to have growing in my garden at any time, what would be the best schedule to grow to make the most use of my space to harvest as frequently as possible at max yield potential? I was thinking 6 plants per tent (12), 3-4 mothers (16) and pulling 9 clones (25) keeping the best 6 every time I need to replace my harvested crop.
What is the smallest possible space I would need to keep 4 mothers and star vegging 9 clones for my flower tent. My plan is to top twice then LST while vegging. Should I setup SCROG nets?
I will upload some pictures of what I've got going on so far shortly and start a grow journal once I get all this stuff sorted out.
Thanks !
