Heh. I started out in a closet and eventually realized it wasn't going to be enough room for what I wanted to do. Kinda sucks but at the same time I don't mind. I instead built a veg cab out of a black and decker garage storage chest and I'm buying a 120W LED Tri-Band 5th Gen Panel to set up in there now. I'll be using it as my germ cab as well as my veg cab and flowering some smaller plants in there (no bigger than a solo cup, will root bind them to keep them small..)

Can fit about 35 solo cups in there.. so I figure I'll grow 15 plants and use the other 20 slots for germ/vegging. Only worry is odor. My closet has a CAN50 in it and a 480CFM inline fan. This little cab just has a desk fan in it... if odor gets too bad I'll figure something out. I'm working on a DIY filter for the smaller box right now just because I believe it'll be needed. I have a 160CFM 6" duct blower that I could use since the area is so small to scrub..

I think youll love the veg growth under the LED they stay real tight and theres no heat so any fan running in there should work great

you know I am kinda well Im lost on the whole spectrum but if you wanna look at it its on ebay from htg supply that's where i bought it I was just toying around when I bought it keeping it small lower costs etc but I really don't think it will give me what I was looking for as far as more than 1 plant so I added the 400 as it is my only hobby I set out for a closet grow and now have about a 600$ tent set up lol and love it !
b

I bit the bullet myself and just went out and bought everything, except the hydro system I made myself. cost me about 70 euros (100 dollars?)
all in cost me about 600 euros.
I'll check out the LED's online
it is great aint it Dusto!
 
Looking good man. Looks like some N-def going on there.. how much nitrogen did you feed through veg? Sometimes a little N feeding into the flowering phae doesnt hurt too much either, just half strength it. 6 weeks can seem so far but it really isn't haha. I got the 240w blackstar LED as, like you.. I always go bigger haha.

I'm sketching out a hempy SoG right now that I want to run with it.. I wanna run about 15 plants in the SoG and I plan on doing it in 44oz plastic cups that are tall but not too wide.
 
sounds good Ive seen some nice results in the hempy set ups nice light Ive read and seen some good results with the blackstar and the N def you are probably right still working towards a good ph pen so far I am still adding nutes and adjusting with the ph up or down and yea man the 6 weeks is oerfect I dont know how I managed it but I should be chopping 2 weeks prior to my vacation should be a real nice holiday this year !!
 
Thanks dusto....hopefully things will only get better. Learned a lot that grow for sure.
