i'm considering transforming my micro cab into a more versatile perpetual SOG system.
this, of course, necessitates having many containers of a small volume (< 1L).
I'd like to ask the community for any advice, personal experience, even pure speculation.
will it work? tips and tricks? any major drawbacks? etc.
~~~~~~~~
for those who want more info on my specific situation:
i have a small apartment and the only room i had to grow is in a storage space above my bedroom closet. it's 22.5" x 22.5" x 8ft.
i engineered a 400w vert hps situation with four carefully trained plants each in a #3 smart pot. last run (in the heat of summer) got me over a half pound of meds.
the issue i'm facing now is that i am itching to expand my genetics and to eventually experiment with breeding. not to mention i'm starting to wish i had a few different flavors in my giant head stash
i have a plan b design for my cab that is basically a dr. bud style perpetual sog (i got a lot of inspiration from bali_man's cab). i'll replace the hps with two 4' six tube T5 arrays (total of 660 watts!). then i can do some mother selecting and keep my stash a little more exciting.
most of the grows i see on here doin this kinda thing use synthetic nutrients, but i'm a die hard living soil nut, so if the consensus is it aint gonna work, i'll probably just fire up my old system for another go.
