Basement Setup 13 x 5

growing life would be alot easier if I could use a 10x10 room with 2 600's in the middle.

I wish, but one thing i notice with the grow rooms is that you have to use them for either flowering or vegging i originally thought there was a way to partition off the middle and have veg and flower in the same tent. I wish i could use that 10 x 10 too

Was thinking of a 4x4 grow tent for flowering with a 1000 watt mh light 6" Inline fan with the cargon filter.I would hope to fit 6-8 plants in the space and would hope to yield about an OZ per plant? How does this sound.

For flowering imma gonna either get a 4bulb 4ft or 2 4' t5ho lights, blue spectrum. Sound like im on the right path?

Is there a particular reason for this?
I believe you have your info backwards.
You'll want to use T-5 for veg and a 1000 W Hps for flowering, not an mh.
Mh is what people use to veg with, or they might have it in flower room as added light and spectrum but you really want a High Pressure Sodium (Hps) for flower not Metal Halide (Mh)

SCHT is right. The T5s in the blue spectrum are for vegging and you want an HPS for flowering.

Are you going to set up a separate vegging space?

You should be able to get more than an ounce per plant with a 1000W and 6-8 plants if your environment is good.

Make sure you do not get a duct booster fan--it simply will not work to cool a 1000W and doesn't have enough oomph to use with a filter. Get a centrifuge type fan

 

[trillions of atoms]

Fans are over rated, they use that measurement w no duct or filters attached. That number might be half of the rated after its all hooked up.

sorry i just misworded. I want to flower with a 1000 watt and id like to veg with a 600 watt. Im gonna pick up a 2 bulb t5 this week just for this little practice grow i am doing with some bag seed. Its gonna be fun! My seeds still havent come from nirvana and when they do im gonna hold them until i have the proper setup that I'm gonna use(grow tents real lights etc) for now im just using a little closet in the basement. I been practicing germination techniques. I just been reading and practicing! Heres a "Grape Ape" she( fingers crossed) just finally sprouted after a slow germination, i like this picture

I had some grapes that sprouted pretty tall pretty fast. tomorrow imma transplant it until a bigger pot (going to cut a 1 gallon water jug) also i want to buy a humidity dome this week i use a make shift one now

Keep the fluorescent light inches above the sprout to keep them from getting tall and thin. AKA stretched.

yeah thats exactly what i was thinking, theyre kinda stretching toward the light! I'm gonna setup a different thread (grow journal) about my bag seed practice run. im really learning valuable info from just giving it a try, on top of what i have read and still am reading off this forum

 

[Dman1234]

your getting good advice, soon you can bury that stalk under soil and get the light right on top of it. you could do it now even.

Sorry philly, I had to take your imbedded links out. We ask that no direct or imbedded links are posted here. How about posting your pics up here?

I am going to recommend that you rethink the 600MH for vegging. I think that you would be a lot happier using T5s for vegging--they put out the same lumens per watt, spread the light better, and are a whole lot easier to keep cool. I have a 400W and a 250W MH that I do not use and another 400W MH that I gave away since I discovered T5s.

I personally wouldn't transplant yet. IMO they are too small and probably don't have any kind of good root system built up yet. I believe that the chance of damaging the root is great as they are still so small. You need to keep the light really close to the top of the seedlings to prevent stretch. A small fan blowing on them will help to increase the stem strength.

Be very cautious using bagseed. Most bagseed is a result of selfing and the plant will have the propensity to hermie. If you are just using them for germing practice, that is a good use for them. If you plan on growing them out, you will need to be vigilant about watching out for nanners. Also, if you plant on growing them out, start a lot more. With non fem seeds, you want to start 2-3 times more seeds than you want to end up with.

You don't want a humidity dome over seedlings. About the only time I use a humidity dome is with clones and that is because I live in a really arid place.

Ok sorry for that ill read the tutorial on posting pics here. Ok Im gonna go with a 4 bulb t5 with lights im shopping around now. I seen the post a little too late about the transplanting. Im still waiting on my Nirvana seeds so yea all this is practice! If my grape ape seed (which survived the transplant well and had grear root system) end up being a girl then i will def keep that! My other plant "grapes" didnt seem to take the transplant well as the stalk turned yellow. However it did seem to bounce back under the humidity dome. Piece by piece ill pick up the right products until i have them all in place for the real grow.

Yeah Tomorrow im gonna raise the level or soil. I mixed the soil with perlite and cut a 1 gallon jug of water to use as a bucket. I had to tie it up with a couple zipties after transplant of thr "grapes" but the "grape ape" had a very active root system and took the transplant well. even grown a little taller since it seems. Looking forward to see how that turns out! As far as the rest of the bagseed its from reggie, seems to be no action with those seeds...could they be too old and dried up?

Also i just put some La confidential in a wet napkin today so im real excited about that :icon_smile: :icon_smile:
