Okay guys, I've decided to take a crack at making my own cannabis grow. I have done some research and am going to put on here what I have so far, and future plans. I am open to any criticism you may have.
Okay, I will start with posting a few pics of my grow area. For starters, it is a "sub-closet" inside of my main closet.
So the dimensions of my area are roughly 2.5 x 2 x 5.5.
The ceiling in the smaller closet is angled at a 45 degree angle, with the height increasing as you progress towards the door.. **Sorry for crummy pics"
Tools/hardware I have currently/have plans to get- 1. Fan 2. Power Strip 3. Timer 4. Distilled Water 5. Small egg-carton like container for seeds (open for alternatives here b4 transplanting) 6. Good soil (Organic, with vermiculite preferably..Again open for alternatives) Have a bunch in garage but I am looking for a good one w/ High N for veg. 7. Ph meter 8. Cost-efficient way to maintain temperature . 9. Cost-efficient light source (HPS 250 W?) 10. SEEDS- Might have a friend who will sell me some.. 5 a pop? That a deal? He says it's straight purp, but that doesn't really help me much with setting up my grow.
If you look at one of the pictures, you can see that there is an angle in the ceiling, that it is not flat. The angle is pretty close to 45 degrees. The maximum height is closest to the door, at about 5 and a half feet.
How many seeds do you guys think would be good to start with? How many plants should I attempt to grow given the area.
Number 8 is important because there are small areas towards the back of the "sub-closet" that are exposed to the outside air. It's somewhat chilly in there (East Coast), and with it going into the colder months now, I need to figure out a way to keep my grow comfortably warm! (75 degrees) Suggestions here please
Thanks for your help and advice in advance guys. If all goes well, ~ 4 months from now
