I haven't grown cannabis in a few years, but now I got some extra money that allows me to build a stealth grow cabinet and I would need to make some long term plans for how to set things up.
My grow space is gonnabe about 1.5 x 2.5 feet and a little under 6 feet in height. I already have a Spiderfarmer SF2000 qb 200W light. I used to grow only in organic super soil kind of soil mixes, but now I'm thinking of going Hempy buckets-style (hydro pebbles and coco), because heaving all that soil around is just not viable anymore. But I don't know much about hydro/coco growing so that is going to be a learning curve.
Firstly I would need advice about which affordable nutrients to use? Then I can't seem to make up my mind whether I should do autos or regular plants? If I can fit two 3- gallon Hempy buckets in my space, which option would be faster? I would really like to have a relatively fast turnaround time, I don't want to/ I can't do two month vegs followed by three months of flowering.
I'm thinking will the autos get too tall for my space? I'm thinking would regular seeds 12/12 from seed be an option, with a bigger number of smaller pots? Or 2-3 weeks veg and then 12/12... I guess a scrog would be best for my space but that takes time to get it right. I've seen people get huge yields from compact sized autos, but how do you pull that off? Is it about keeping them in small enough pots?
It's a lot of rambling I know but any ideas and tips are most welcome!!
