Hi folks, thought it was about time I joined in, as I've gotten so much from just reading already. Thanks to those that have paved the way and done all the hard work before us, making our job just that little bit easier/less mysterious.
Long time smoker, first time grower, same old story. I've fooled around with making extracts and edibles previously, but it's really not cost effective if you're buying the starting material. Hopefully growing will help that some, though I'm just trying to focus on not killing the plant for the moment. I'll worry about yield later.
Discretion on the cheap is the aim of the game. Much as I'd love to do things properly from the get-go, I'm trying to keep this whole thing as quiet as possible. Apologies in advance for not only the noob mistakes but the near deliberate fuck ups that'll happen too! Let's get to it.
The cabinet is a set of drawers my neighbour was tossing, I've removed the drawers, attached a door and tried to light-proof it as best I can with compressible tape on the inner edges. It hardly works, although as a physical barrier it may prevent excess dust/particulate from entering the cab.
It measures 59W, 52D, 65H.
Lighting is two 24W CFLs, with plans (aspirations more like) to wire one of the drawers with lighting so as to have a more uniform yet still mobile lighting arrangement. Airflow is handled by two pc fans, internal at 5v and exhaust at 12v (I don't have a controller, though do have a ton of disused wall wart adapters. The exhaust fan resides within a DIY light trap made from an old egg carton.
The plant itself started as bagseed of which there were four, with only the one breaking ground on 12-4 (4-12 for those of you in the wrong hemisphere).
