Greetings and salutations. Blind man here and this is my first time growing. I have virtually no sight other than hardly useful light perception, so I will be using the eyes of 420mag. I've determined that one of the biggest problems why people have such a hard time is because they aren't using quality materials, e.g. using mg soil, etc etc. If you skimp out, you'll have the end product to show for it. I am on a fixed income, but I've decided to invest the money I do have in quality products, but I've some questions below which need answers before I continue, but more on this later. I'll also add pics later
So here is my setup. I live in a quad, which is basically one room rented out and there are 4 rooms rented per section of building with a kitchen separating both sets of rooms. Each room has a build in closet. This closet has 2 metal doors which fold open and there is a wall outlet on the left hand side. About 5 feet up there is a clothing bar and then a shelf.
I've constructed a cabinet that is 2 feet by 2 feet by 5 feet. I framed it out of dougless fur 2x2s and then used particle board for the sides and doors. I recommend using plywood but I'm cheap. I have yet to buy mylar, but I will be using a Soler and Pallau td100x inline exhaust fan. The intake will be 1.5 times in exhaust, which is 4x4 inches so the intake will be 6x6 inches. The metal folding doors on the closet have vents built into them. This cabinet just barely fits inside my closet to where I can just close the door. These vents will be useful when my AC is on and the intake near the floor pulls in cool air. I will be growing in a 5 gallon black bucket using hydroton clay balls and rock wool. I'll be using 2 micropore airstones as they seem to be the highest quality but correct me if I'm wrong. My light source is a 65W custom LED panel from Bonsai Hero. Most panels on the market today are garbage which is why for several years this guy has perfected as much as possible his panels. There are 3 selectable light settings, seeds, early flower, and flower, 28, 43, and 56W respectively, using only 65W total power consumption. This light puts out as much light as a 90W UFO would. I am only growing for myself so I don't need any crazy setups, I can add some cfl's later if need be but I think in the given space which should be enough. The pannel is 10 by 15 inches and only 1.6 inches thick.
I'll be growing feminized northern lights do to it's low smell profile, I'm only a few thin walls away from my neighbors. It will be a little while before I actually start growing, but here are some questions.
I need to know the best online hydro shop with the best prices. I plan on getting seeds from nervana, but I need to buy a bucket, a lid, net pots, airstones, mylar, a carbon filter etc. I've been thinking of building my own filter is it worth it? I've got $150 available right now and I want to make it go as far as possible. I'm not paying $15 for a black 5 g bucket which is what 've been seeing on hydro shops and amazon...also I know 1 mil mylar rip easily but should I just go with that anyway? iwas just going to buy some double sided tape and then roll the mylar onto the walls. Pics and what not coming up when I can get them taken. Questions are appreciated if there are any
