fuck, pics arnt working, anyways, it is a 115 gallon aquarium, 6-100watt CFL's, there are two holes on each side of the aquarium for ventilation(came that way) and 2-3" holes on the cover of the aquarium, (they are covered with the stuff on speakers, the cloth stuff), then about 6 inches of dirt, a cover for the top, and the sides would be covered in tinfoil or something reflective.

thats basically it



peace

it could work

how tall is the inside height ....the maximum
what is the depth?
what is the width?

the thing about growing in a aquarium is that if you need to cut a hole you
cant because of the glass lol derrrrrr

also the cfl lights will be fine for vegging ,but if you want some bud off it ,you
need a HPS !

i no you said 6in of dirt but are you going to grow in it or clean it out and
build a hydro set up?

the thing with dirt is you need drainage so if its just in the bottom you are
going to get root problems later on . its better just to grow in a cupboard /
wardrobe/closet .

how many plants do you want to grow ? roughly?

how much bud do you want every 2 months ?

are you going to grow from seeds or from a clone ,if a clone were is the mum
going ?

are you going to hand water? or hydro?

how much money do you have for the set up?

is the living situation ok for you to grow ? ie are you a teenager who lives
alone,with parents of friends do they know ,are they sound ? , are you living
alone ? you have a house or flat/apartment.


we need to no this shit well i do ,i will think of every problem and tell you if
its viable or you need to change the plan abit , get me some answers and i
will answer in full ...peace

i think it is 18 inches wide and like 26 inches deep, i do have some experiance in glasswork so i could probally get some drainage holes in the bottom of the aquarium.
I do have Hps, i have 4-200 watt lamps. It will be a dirt grow.
roughly i want to grow 6 small plants, every 2 months i want to at least to be able to harvest 15-20 grams/plant(im not wanting alot, it's for personal use and for fun), i have an automatic mister that i bought for my lizards, but never got around to using it , so i would be able to water my plants with that(it holds about 2 gallons of water, not necessary info, but w/e)

i have about $300 for the st.up
the situation is viable, my house is set back far into the country side, i have a person who rents out a room in the house, but he grows in his own room (he thinks i dont know, hahaha jokes on him)
i have a clean police record if thats any use to you

i have my own house, but its not too big so i like to save space.


anymore questions? i will be glad to answer ALL of them, unless your going to diss me in some way

peace

na man you got everything sound except the inside height 26 in is too low for
anything you should just grow in a wardrobe.soz you need at least 36in and that
pushing it (90cm)
you gotta thinkheight between the light and roof 3in max, depth of light about
6in including reflector area between light and top of plants 6/10 inches say 8"
drip tay (for soil) 1" ,pots 8", the rest is grow space 12/ 18 " so thats
between 34 - 44" inches : ( . then you gotta think about fans odour control and
all that shit .26 inches is too small sorry , get a wardrobe it will muffle the sound
too

cant use a closet, its being used for other stuff(Clothes,shoes etc.)

i got 2 8" airsoft fans, 3 settings
i can easily change the height of the grow area, anywhere from 12" to 6 feet,(i have sheet glass left over from when i was redoing the windows),the renter knows i grow weed so i wouldnt have to hide it from him, i am (might be) growing in the basement, thats where all my lizards and shit is. I have a couple either oil dispencers set up down there to take the smell of lizard away and have a few extra lying around down there.

i just posted this entire post because after reading the otherone with the cardboard box and the CFL's from metalirock post. i was inspired by that.


i have a broken down aivery i can fix up and i could use that to, if i moved it indoors, it has poweroutlets(in the back for heat, for birds) it has all the attachments to hook up fluros in it, but w/e. prob never gonna happen, i just wanted to know about the aquarium.


thx




peace

i didnt mean a closet .i mean a wardrobe ie see pic

if you can raise the height of the tank /aquarium then yes you could do it but it
would still be easyier to buy a wardrobe lol

ps the basement sound ideal : )
