    Default Hi all i'm new here and wanted to ask a few questions before buying supplies thanks

    Like the title says i just wanted to see if any of you kind people could help me with some details before i buy the supplies thanks

    i want to do a cheapish stealth grow to hopefully get 2 plants if possible with my grow as it's just for personal

    the size of my box is

    height 32 inches
    width 28 inches
    depth 17 inches



    the supplies i've been looking at

    light
    200w CFL Dual Spectrum Lamp with reflector


    carbon filter
    4 inch rhino pro


    soil
    Plant Magic Plus Supreme Organic Growth Soil


    pots
    14 litre General Purpose Buckets from homebase, or b&q and just drill holes in the bottom


    seeds
    Heavyweight Fast & Vast Auto Autoflowering Feminised
    Vision Northern Lights Auto Autoflowering Feminised


    nutrients
    Plant Magic Oldtimer Organic Bloom 3-4-5 1 Litre Hydroponics Plant Grow when they start to flower, none for veg stage


    i'm struggling with what fans to get for the intake and outake
    and whether the fan and carbon filter would fit inside
    thanks

    Your light is better suited to just a single plant mate (actually, so is your grow space!)

    Since you have a 4" Rhino filter, why not grab a 4" RVK too? With regard to intake, set it all up & see how things go.... you may get away with passive intake

    thanks for replying m8 is that 1 plant without the filter or fan being inside as well, i thought with them being autos they wouldn't be too big and the 200w bulb would be enough and i was thinking of getting a rhino pro extractor fan for the intake and can't remember is passive intake no fan just holes
    thanks

    You can have the fan & filter either in the grow room or out... you may find out a little easier.

    Your light is the limiting factor plant wise, you could grow two but one would be a much more sensible approach with what you have...

    Don't bother with CFL mate. I'm assuming you think it's going to be cost effective for electricity? 1 plant in approx 8-10L is the max you can go in a space like that. A 250w mh/hps/dualspec would be perfect. I would recommend grow too not just bloom. All you need is an extraction fan etc and I'm guessing your sorted.

    thanks for replying i'm just wanting to try cfl's as it my first grow and i've read they don't get as hot as mh or hps and the helicopters won't clock it as much as a mh or hps light
    is that right and i'm a bit paranoid for safety with them kights
    cheers

    If they are searching for grows, they use thermal vision if I'm correct. Temps will only be slightly higher with a mh/hps. The extraction fan will suck that heat out anyway.

    For the size of your grow, the last thing you need to worry about is police helicopters. The heat you give off will be minuscule.

    thanks for the help people is there no chance i would be able to get smaller pots and still get 2 or 3 decent sized autos if i swapped the 200 cfl for a 300 without reflector
