As the title says i am new to Vert and building a 42"w x 36"d x 75"h tapering to 38"h room under my basement stairs that will hopefully produce enough to free me from the MicroSOG i've been running for the last 2 years. Growing media/nutes will either be Coco/perlite mix using KISS method or LC's#1 ammended with guanos that i've had cooking for about 6mo now. I need to pull a LB per cycle(hopin for 16wks clone/veg/flower). Heres my questions:
1. Vscrog or tree? I'm thinking Vscrog the left and back wall and then two short indica bushes on the right side where the ceiling is only 38"h. im thinkin the veg time for the Vscrog will be shorter than veggin in a tree. Is this assumption correct? Is is enough to matter? ie are we talkin a week or a month?
2. Can this be done with a single 400w? I already have one, i'll just pick up another if 400w isnt enough for this space to pull a LB. If a second bulb is needed, should i run a vertical stack or run em at the same height accross the depth of the room?
3. The Gridwall im planning on using for Vscroggin is made out of welded 1/4" steel rod powdercoated black. I'm a lil concerned that it may build and hold heat from the infrared emmitted by ths HPS. Anybody ever scrog with heavy gauge steel wire like this?
4. I've got a 160cfm fan and a carbon filter to hang and exhaust through the wall into the bathroom/laundry/mechanicals room. I was thinking about running the exhaust into the return side of my ac/furnace to help muffle the fan. The bathroom part of this room is frequented by guests and the return plenum is literally just on the other side of the wall from the room. Any thoughts?
Here's some pics of the room and the Scrog material. A locking door will be hung flush with the opening. Trimmed and stained to match the rest of the house. Appropriate fan(s) will be placed on the floor blowing up at the bulbs in the typical fashion.
