Planning a Grow Need Some Info to Prepare

Kincaid · 09-13-2009, 09:26 PM

So I was considering starting a grow in a room that is 2.5x5.5x7ft. I want some info on how many plants could fit in the room first. Second, the light size and reflector type(a-wing maybe) needed and height away from plant it should be through veg and flow stage, taking into consideration the high likelyhood of upgrading to a full bedroom in a 3bdrm house in a year or so. Third, how would I monitor and control the humidity. Fourth, is a hydro system probable in a room so tiny, and if so what type of system suggested (drip,ebb/flow, etc). Fifth, if starting with clones what are the lengths of periods that I should veg and flower with height offered(trainwreck or white widow to be grown). Sixth, how would I set-up the many fans, ducting for heat, etc and if no outside air is available can I use air in the bedroom for the new co2 containing air? Also what size fans and carbon filter needed; finally do i have to exhaust the filtered air outside the grow room or another room. Seventh, what is the best way to avoid infestation. Eighth, if fromthe previous question i cannot recycle air in the room is a co2 tank advisable or fiscally too expensive.
Thanks for all the input. Asking questions covering most everything i could consider needing info. Thanks again guys.

For question 1---------let's say 7 plants. That'll all depend on how much u veg them.

Q 2--------we're u planning CFL's? or fluros or MH then HPS?

Q3--------gotta got gadget shopping, Home-Depot has inexpensive humidy/temperature guages.

Q4--------I'll opt to leave this for someone else. Help is on the way soon......

Q5--------this one is tricky and relates to how tall you want the finished product. Will return to this question. My preference is the Widow, cause I've done her before.

Q6---------whew....no outside air anywhere close? C02 without ventilation.....dunn o if that's healthy for you and yours! Wise choice the Carbon Filter but where are you gonna vent it? Need to find outside air!!

Q7---------avoid infestation---------again, the outside air is needed to ensure this!

We're you gonna use soil or a hydro system?

just depends on different points of intel that i take in before the project starts. Soil if necessary but preferable hydro, just not too sure of the difficulty in using hydro.

How would i setup a system with half the p's veggin and the other half flowerin?

Anyway to split the room? Requires switching the light from side to side. Do-able...

In the space you have it will be difficult. You'd almost have to split the room height wise. Maybe have a clone in the top half and flower in the bottom. You'll have to make sure NO light escapes between the rooms and you'll have to deal with the heat from 2 sets of lights in such a small area. So your ventelation will be important. You will also have to get proficient at LSTing because your head space will be miminal.
