HI all..We have an Idea, with the permission of 420 Magazine I hope 
I'm sure this may have already been done , but if not and you want to partake in some fun growing as a co-op
. Read on ….
There are a lot of talented folks in this site with a lot of knowledge and we "The FlowerTop Couple" would love to learn as much as we can from you all. And My hopes is for other new Bee's out there just reading and learning , Please jump in the conversation , don't be shy .
So let's have fun doing so .
We challenge all the readers with the great knowledge and experience to direct the perfect grow ..
Awww easy you say huh ? … But yes , there is a catch, we have rules to go by .
#1 For each step/ procedure there must be a unanimous Vote among all that participate
#2 Must use the use the available resources and budget set for the grow
#3 Must be discreet / So no CO2 Tanks / large equipment / abnormal large amount of bags of soil and so on ..
Explanation of rules
Rule Number one ..
To ensure the best growth there should be a vote on each procedure by all that all that participate .and this is where the fun begins , as a Collaborative effort there will be many opinions , but you must select one and it should be unanimous Vote.
Rule Number two … To make this truly a great challenge the available resources and budge is limited. Not to say this is insufficient funds or resources to archive this task .. Read below for more info.
Rule Number three, Must be discreet. We live in a Mayberry RFD Town , very small and everyone knows everyone and neighbors on each side ,
And to my Right her twin twisted sister that compares notes on my daily routine .
We have started a Veg garden indoors in the winter and now is a box garden outdoors, with tomatoes, herbs, and other items you would find in a garden. This was to give us the excuse to have all the soils and other items to make a grow garden we store out in the open in the garage. The construction of the indoor Grow closet was done during a renovation of one of our rooms in the house and is very well Hidden , sound proof , air tight with ample air exchange . Even if you knew there was a room it would be very difficult to find and open
Here is the list of available resources for the grow
Budget $100

Also have pH Test Kit with drops for back up
Grow Room and equipment:
Grow room
Total size 4 feet deep, 6 feet wide, 10 feet tall
With 3 Grow containers,
#1 Seed and Clone container :
This container has its own lighting with 2 ea T5 fluorescent tubes (6500K) this is a small room 1'6" wide 4 ' deep and 2'6" tall , has constricted airflow to keep the room RH at 60% and Temp at 79 degrees and heat mat to keep the room warm if needed . So far with this set up I have had 100% success on all seeds and clones
#2 Veg container :
This container has also T5 fluorescent tubes 6500K 4ea produces 8,000 initial lumens. This room is 4' deep 4 ' tall and 3'6" wide with ample air flow with and adverse temp of 77 degrees and 37% RH . This room also has 100% success on all plants, they grow like weeds
#3 Flower container
This container has a large sealed grow light Hood with 6" air flow, running a 400watt HPS , I do have a Large Can Filter the Air flows in the filter through the Hood and out to the roof in a vent , 3 fans for air flow and intake 6" line from nearby bathroom , This room size is 4' deep 3'6" wide and 6' tall Plenty of room for 4 plants with a cycle of every 17 days one out and one in , well that is what I planned on anyway . This room is cool on the bottom by the pots in the shade the room runs at 77 degrees and on the top of the plants it kind of warm I think, and it runs at 79 to 81 degree and average RH of 30%
