Indoor garending TME

[ThatOneDude]

Hey everyone, now that the divorce is final, my busy ass summer at work is almost over as we wrap up a big push, and I cut cable I need a new hobby. I know I need to eat healthier so I figured and indoor garden would be a fun project. I'm trying to keep heat to a minimum, and electricity usage to a minimum as well.
I figure my best bet is to build a 4 x 4 grow box for one of my spare bedrooms (dont want to ruin the carpets), get like a 300-400w LED grow panel, a fan for pulling air out, and use tubs to grow in with organic soil.

Thoughts? Feelings? Emotions? Tips

Never knew this was a thing except for weed.

Links? Sounds neat.

im really torn between LED (im a nerd so its the obvious choice but expensive), HPS/MH cheaper and lots of heat, or CFL grow lights

Got my mom one of these for her birthday last year and she loves it. Been growing spinach, carrots, lettuce and all kinds of flowers on it. Kinda pricey though. I'm sure you can rig something up yourself for much cheaper.

Why not take up knitting while you are at it? You could knit yourself a gimp mask seeing as its obvious you love taking it in the ass?

Sounds like good tomatoes.
I find the flavour is better with organic food though.

Autoflower peppers are a great solution in limited space.

Pfffft that's a great setup but I'm looking for a small personal setup for my tomatoes. That's way more tomatoes than I need.

lol that is a small personal set up

To be fair it's on the big side of small. 1 light and CFL starter should do it.

Listen @ThatOneDude if you want to start an indoor weed growing thread there is no need to be shy

 

[Team Bisping]

Tomatoes. sure dude.

 

[ThatOneDude]

I've grown tomatoes with a tray flood hydro system before, worked well but I think I over complicated things for a first timer.
