My new medical registration will allow me to have up to 12 plants and 2.5 oz. legally. I've never grown indoors before. I intend to go with a hydroponic system, probably homemade ebb and flow. I have three choices for my room(s). Part of this decision will involve trying to stay within the limits of the law and maintaining a constant supply, so I will have to choose a single room, or a vegetative room and a budding room. I live alone, so I could use two of the available rooms, split one, or use a single room for complete grow cycles. A single grow room would cause a legal dried product overage issue. I'm leaning toward keeping a couple of mother plants and clones going, while I'm budding out a few ounces of dried product. But, I don't know squat.
I have a ground floor, tiled room with a floor drain. I could add a wall to create a 4'X8', with a 9' ceiling. I would have to exhaust this room(s) into my garage.
The 2nd story has a full bath, tiled floor. I could remove the vanity/sink. This has a ceiling exhaust. 5'X11' (including tub/shower that could be used) - only a 6'6" ceiling.
Attic space - probably too hot in summer, sloping ceiling, 7' at best. Water leak would do major damage. Plywood floor with about 13'X8' of usable space. This is out of the way and added ventilation and safety precautions for leaks could be added. To be practical, I would also probably have to add plumbing and a tub for water.
Would two 4'X4' rooms be large enough for the number of plants that I will be dealing with? Should I build the 4'X8' room and use the 2nd floor tub? Do something with the unused attic space? Find a caregiver and keep buying it, like I've been doing illegally?
Thanks.
