Planned thoughts to grow.

Well I've learned that the prices for weed in my area are pathetic so I've decided to grow my own maybe in an apartment or something with a roof, sometime in the future. ($110+ qt. for some dank )
Here's the plan:


Closet Grow Op


Balance: $800
Space: 5x4x8

Guidelines:

10,000 lumens per plant
6.5-7 pH / 70-80 ‘F
SCRoG (for yield)

Cycles:

Germ & Seed stage
– 2-3 weeks

Vegetation stage (21/3 ~ 600w MH)

-Top plants @ 4-6 node --> turn to clones
-Can take clones @ 5th week (5-10 days to root)
-Begin nutrients @ 6th week – More N

– Barney’s LSD = 6-8 weeks / Kali Mist = 7+ weeks

Flowering stage (12/12 ~ 400w HPS)

-Begin to gradually add more P, K / Less N

– Barney’s LSD = 9+ weeks / Kali Mist = 10-11 weeks

Drying stage

- Hope to get about 3+ oz per plant

Set up (5x4x8 Closet):

-4 Plants + Seeds

($400) Lights, Housing & Ballast – 400w HPS/400w MH
($50+) Soil – Regular Soil / FF Ocean Forest Soil + Perlite (30%)
($25+) Ventilation – 200+ CFM fan/ Another if needed
($150) Seeds – Barney’s LSD, Kali Mist (Critical Seeds)
($30) Nutrients – Veg. & Flower NPK nutes
($60+) Extras – Screen, PH Meter,Thermometer, mylar etc
________________

Some questions I have are:

- What is a reasonable price to pay for a full light system (400HPS/MH)? I was looking around and it seems like $400 is around the amount.

(with everything i chose its $385)

-Do the other prices look reasonable?

- Would these four plants have too much of an odor to contain in the grow room if I open the door a couple or so times? Could I just buy some cheap odor absorbers?

- For the SCRoG screen I thought of getting an old square foldout table and cut the middle, where I can attach the screen, would this be viable?

- What is the price range to light these bulbs add up to, does it stand out a lot using MH bulbs?
________________

Now even though this will be my first official grow I want to be able to grow my own, smoke my own, sell to regain what I spent and maybe make a little bit extra for college.

I also might take a couple of clones, root them, put under some CFL's and begin to flower in a separate room to get some early buds.

But of course these are only thoughts
