Hey guys!
I've read a lot on these forums while doing my research and found tons of info. I've noticed different opinions on a lot of details, so I figured I'd gather opinions on my plans.
I have a stand-up shower in my basement that I don't use and decided to use it as a grow room (box?) lol
The space I have to work with is 2 x 2 x 6'. I have 8' of height, but I'm saving the top 2' for lights and venting.
Planning on building my own hydro setup using a rubbermaid bin.
I'm going to replace the glass shower door with a plywood door - cutting a 4" hole for an intake vent near the bottom.
Lining the walls with reflective mylar.
Using a can filter with an inline fan, routed through an air cooled 400W light and then out of the top of the stall.
A small oscillating fan will be mounted to the wall above the canopy.
Two 18" fluorescent tube lights mounted on either side beneath the plants.
The bathroom fan will be running 24/7 so the air will be refreshed continuously.
I'll be using MH for vegging and switching to HPS for flowering.
I have some Jack Herer seeds I'm going to use for the first run.
I'm looking for opinions on the above setup and I have a few questions.
Will 9 plants be comfortable in this space?
Should I be shooting for single colas?
I've heard that Jack Herers will double in height after going into flowering. Would 24" height be a good time to start flowering or could I wait longer? I want maximum yield, but I won't be able to raise the light much higher than 6'.
What are the best nutes to use at each stage? I see so many different names and it's hard to figure out which one sounds best for my setup.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Fuzzy
