we'll it's a good thing he isn't asking for ur opinion this is a great start and don't get me started on the " grow boss" way to stubborn and stuck in his ways.
it's an open forum,you don't need to ask for people's opinion. it's literally for sharing each others opinion, if you don't like someone's opinion then I question why you'd post on here. it doesn't matter if someone is stuck in their ways, it's an opinion, take it or leave it.
Firstly, that's some fantastic DIY work you did there.
But I can just hear the Growboss screaming in my ears. Do you want to grow Pot or "Expeeeerii-mmeeent". And fuck round containers. There is a reason round houses, except maybe yurts or iglo's, aren't being build: you lose valuable real estate.
Get that light a nice 3x3 or 4x4 tent dude or build one yourself.
Germinate a handful of seeds. Fill your tent with an even canopy of the most healthy plants and then chug a 400W light at it during flower for a plentiful harvest.
I just think it's a bit criminal to run 400W of light for a 11 gram yield.
I also believe apical dominance is stronger than the potential of lower budsites performing when supplied with sideways lightning.
@goarilla,
Hey. So this is a 300w LED UFO I picked up off eBay. My previous grow was a 100w CFL and I only got 11g off of that. It was mostly an experiment but now I'm back with more knowledge and skills and a bigger light. Hoping for a full oz this time around.
Also, I can't do a tent as I live in rented accommodation. I need to be able to dismantle and hide the various parts in the smallest amount of time possible.
@CRiSPrGrow, He used the same or a prototype of this bucket in his previous diary: growdiaries.com/diaries/18993-super-skunk-1-autoflower. Where it does say 400W LED lightning. I do believe that to be slightly incorrect though.
I see about 3 meter of LED strip which would put you at around 100-150W and a small top light which I will guess would be in the 50-75W range.
Even with the extractor filter&cpu/case fan the whole thing shouldn't top much higher than 300W. Don't you agree ? But that's a lot too :D
I love your space bucket!! I've been thinking about using a 55 gallon drum,is that the size of yours ? also how do you got fresh air coming into it? I only see the carbon filter setup to draw air/smell out
@Kushlove420,
USB computer fan pushing air in and another pulling it out. Check out /r/spacebuckets on Reddit for instructions.
And it’s a 120litre barrel. So 55 gallons might be too much. Probably half of that.
