January 2019 First grow.
This is my very first grow, here is the grow area.
Indoor cabinet located in partially heated wood shop.
Cabinet size is 48” H X 36” W X 20” D (inside measurements)
Cabinet is made from ½ “ plywood, it has 1” rigid foam insulation covered by ¼ “ white melamine. Cabinet is on casters for easy moving. The doors are made of ¼ oak plywood (1 ½” solid frame).
Front of cabinet.
Back of cabinet. You can see the duct work for the PC fan.
Three timers, one for the fan, one for the lights, and one for the heater.
The moving blanket helps hold in heat as well as blocking light from around the doors.
The inside includes
Adjustable lights currently holding 8 ea 42w CFL.
Adjustable shelf.
PC fan (120 mm three speed 12 volt)
Thermostat controls small 250w heater.
I have two thermometers (one connected to my intranet so I can remotely monitor temps, and set alarms for to high or too low)
Lights and fan on.
I currently have the fan running on low and the duct work partially closed, with the lights on I can keep the temperature around 80°, with the ability to raise or lower temperature as needed.
I plan on running my light cycle from 6 PM to 12 noon, using the small heater and thermostat to keep the “dark temperature” around 60° .
I plan on growing GG#4. I will get two clones in about a week.
Will transplant into 1 gal or maybe straight into 2 gallon pots
I have a great local source for all my plant needs.
Soil, pH tester, and nutrients.
I would appreciate any helpful comments or encouragement.
