Hey Folks,
New to the forums, but in the little time i have spent here i have already learned so much. It seems like a fantastic community, so much so that i gathered up the courage to actually post for a change (not limited to 420).
Lately i have been impacter by increasing costs, which has lead me to believe that making a high short term investment for a long term initiative might be the way forward.
So, i have decided, to expand my hobby and learn how to be self sustaining and do so at a small cost moving forward.
As the title reads, and some of you may already guessed my concerns, i have decided to build a microgrowery, with led lighting and the poorest seasonal choice (wet, cold climate) you can imagine.
I dont shy away from a challenge and it was sort of a now or never scenario, so i have bought the majority items needed or anticipated neer for the project.
The shopping list was as follows:
300W LED light box (140W out)
2 x 7 Gallon "Plant buckets"
1 x Draining tray
7 x Mylar Sheeting
10 x autofem seeds suited for colder climates
1 x bag of activated carbon
2 x 120mm desktop fans
1 x timer powerplug
I am yet to make a decision on the soil, germination process, light cycle, possible heating... as it will be sheltered but not heated...
Although i am doing my best in considering all the factors, i am new to this...
I was wondering if anyone has faced similar circumstances as myself or whether there is someone to offer advise.
Although i am certain there will be eventual fruits from my labor, i would like to nurture to the best of my ability and hopefully get it right the first time.
Hopefully hear from some of you soon!
