Evening All,
I am attempting my first SCROG, first indoor grow for that matter, tent size is 120x60x100 WxDxH, I will be using a 400w HPS in cooltube,
Biobizz soil and nutes
According to the seedbanks strain guide, Lemon Kush grows to 1-1.2m with a flowering time of 60 days,
It's a mainly Indica strain with a little stretch towards the end, as they phrased it, which sounds positive for a SCROG grow.
The difficulties I am having are mainly around dividing the tent height,
There is already around 10cm at the top of the tent taken by the ventilation and cooltube,
I understand that 8-12" of space is required between growing medium and screen for easy access to trim and re-position growth, can I get away with any less?
11L pots come in at around 27cm high plus a 8"(20cm) gap and 10 cm taken by ventilation makes a total of 57cm of tent height already used up,
this leaves 43 cm for actual growth above the screen, how does that sound?
With the current plan I will only be using 4 out of 8sq ft of the tent, my reason for this is because I cannot place the cooltube directly in the centre of the tent, I think this may have a big impact on the plants that are not directly under the lamp, will the lamp be sufficient to cover 8sq ft even if it is not centered in the tent?
The cooltube cannot be placed in the center of the tent due to the fan and CF needing to be before the cooltube, I had an idea to push air out through the carbon filter allowing me to place the CF and fan outside the tent, I was told this was inadvisable due to heat damage to the fan.
Lots of questions! Looking forward to answers
Thanks in advance.
