I've grown plants successfully in the past, using both cfl's and an hid light. I still consider myself a beginner and have a lot to learn. This is my first time in years that i plan to grow, and unlike before i want to do it right. I live in an apartment building so I'm very limited in space.
So here's my plan:
I'd like to build a cab, with three sections, one for veg under 150-200 watts of cfl, a 250 watt hps for flower, and a section for clones. This way i'll have a steady supply of buds instead of vegging/flowering in the same section. The maximum number of plants i plan on doing is 4 at a time, growing them in soil and LSTing them.
Here's some questions:
(please have mercy on me, i really suck at carpentry or anything to do with it)
1. Obviously stealth is of the up most importance, i plan on buying a 4" x 18" charcoal filter for odor and hooking it up to a "4 80cfm inline duct fan, will the fan be sufficient with this size carbon filter? I plan on venting it outside my cab, do i need to bring fresh air inside the cab? Venting it out the window or cutting holes in the wall is out of the queston.
2. I'd like to maximize my light efficiency, what size should my cab be under the lighting circumstance? What material and sizes should i make my cab out of? I'm limited in tools, and like i said i'm pretty retarded when it comes to carpentry.
