Today checking emails i had an email from greens stating that my order had been shipped and everything will be with me on the 1st of sept :D

Problem...

I hadnt even started to think where the grow was going to take place, so I decided to clean the spare room cupboard out and get everything ready for monday...

heres what i ended up with,

Not the very best of pictures and not alot but you get the script ;), Hopefuly my Wilma 4 pot system will fit easy enough with still some space and hopefuly wont have temp problems with the 400W grolux dual spectrum lamp in the space..

Quick question, would i be ok with not covering the skirting up and the door handle inside? see below...

Ive still got a hole to cut into the roof for the ducking for the fan and filter other than that im pretty sorted hopefuly! :D

You can do a little renovation to the door frame if tackiness and the lack of privacy is a problem..... my idea would be get a 2x4 the length of the inside of the frame screw it in and move the door out to a small amount to get the length from the wall to the door out of the way. there's obviously a lot more to it, painting, resealing it up, etc. But if the job gets done right you won't regret it

Not something that id be willing on doing id rather just paint the skirting, Think its time for a change of plan on where to grow unless i send the wilma 4 pot system back when it comes and go for something else :mad:

this cupboard is in a 'spare' room yes?
i think your answer is grow in there then ;)

Yeah it is Dj but theres just enough room for a single bed never mind anything else, i cant even get the cupboard door fully open as the rooms that small that it bands off the side of the bed :banghead:

Has the Wilma system already been dispatched / recieved?

No chance of buying a low cost grow tent ? or does it have to be a grow in a cupboard ? Because the good thing with tents is they can be taken down quickly and easily ?

Oh and isn't it a bank holiday tomorrow ? I notice your in Scotland so maybe not, but if it is you will be able to cancel and re-order a small tent maybe ?

Everythings here to start just lack of space for the wilma system :( Was thinking tonight about sending the wilma back and replacing it with the waterfarm but then something keeps telling me keep the wilma system and get a grow tent :confused:

Ive got the ruck system allready sorted inside the cupboard ect as i was to hyped up to get everything going :blush:

but then the problem with the wilmas holding me back! :(
