Hi i plan on growing in a refashioned bedroom dresser. I am yet to buy one but my options are looking like either a 2d x 3t x 2w or a 2d x 3t x 3w. Now that being said here are some of my thoughts and conditions.

1. Im growing for personal use, i want to never need for buds but I'm entirely uninterested in selling.

2. The dresser needs to fit in my closet so smaller the better but I will use either depending on which setup i choose.

3.Nirvana Seeds Blue Mystic Feminized is the strain i was looking at due to good potency, berry flavor, relatively neutral smell, and an average plant height of 50-70cm with a 450g dried bud per plant. I realize i won't get that yield but still thats great for my purpose as i do not mind storing it in vacuum bags.

3. Equipment-- i have a 14w 225 led pannel (70/30 red/blue) as well as 6 each of 6500k cfl and 2700k cfl. I will be getting some 120mm fans with dimmer for speed control. plan on lining with tin foil (dull side) cause its cheap, blocks and reflects well, and i wont burn plants cause im not using HID.

NOW DECISIONS DECISIONS

1. For my purpose am i better off growing one plant from seed every once in a while since this is a huge yield for 1 person or using a bonsai'd mother and using clones to make several smaller lower yielding plants and harvesting continually?( yes i realize i need a seperate compartment for mom and the clones vs flowering plants).

2. Any suggestions welcomed for strains that are easy to keep short, potent, and relatively neutral smelling ( for this I want personal experience not guessing).

3. Im ordering off attitude seeds so it needs to be on there somewhere.....

Feel free to comment on any of this or give suggestions, im a noob so if u tell me to use/do something that isn't super common knowledge please explain yourself. Thanks.
 
Check out what I used. :) I know that it's not a dresser but I was thinking along the same lines as you for personal smoke. :)

NICE... the top section is basically what i was thinking for a layout if i go with a mother/clone setup, but i still don't know which route is better for my need. What strains do you grow, and lighting?
 
Well I went a little crazy when I got started so here it goes.

As far as lights I am running 23W CFL's 8 in the flower and 4 in veg. I also have 2 42W CFL's and 2 small fluorescent tubes that I used on and off. The 42W were mostly used in flower.

2 Granddaddy Purple
2 Kushberry
1 Pineapple Thai
1 Platinum OG
1 Purple Dragon
1 Redwood Kush
1 Green Crack

These are just a few random pics from my grow. Click the CFL link in my sig to see the grow. :)
 
legit i was thinkin about pickin up another strain any suggestions for my size box? also i have been reading about LST which seems like a great way to keep the plants short.... so i might just try to do two LST plants from feminized seeds, or more likely start 4 then pick the best 2..... but still gonna keep lookin around.
 
You can go with any size box really. This was my first grow and I could have done WAYYYYY better but I was experimenting and pushing the buds that I did have and wasn't looking for maximum yield. Next grow will get less plants and more ventilation. The cab that you are looking into should be good and LST will be the way to go in my opinion. Pop around in some of the other CFL threads and check em out.
