With @ 310 actual watts of LED I think you'll end up with around 5 to 7 oz's maybe even more depending on the strains and other factors such as skill level, luck, etc... Since your consumption levels are low have you considered planting multiple strains in a planting bed type arrangement instead of individual pots and going 12/12 directly from seed? Growing in this way versus individual pots give you mostly single colas with low per plant yields but you would have multiple strains to choose from depending on the occasion or desired effect. Sativas or sativa heavy hybrids for daytime use, indicas or indica heavy hybrids for late afternoons, evenings, or lazy Sunday veg on the couch watching Simpson rerun kind of days, maybe a high CBD strain or two. No nets or staking are needed using this method either.
You could custom build an open top box out of re-purposed plywood and line it with a tarp or plastic sheeting or maybe even find a cheap plastic tote that would fit neatly within your grow place. Anyways, this is just a suggestion. By no means am I suggesting that this would be "the best" way. I'm sure that you've carefully considered your options and know what will likely work best for your particular needs.
I know what you mean about internet security concerns. I'm in a place where internet privacy protections are on par with the likes of N. Korea and China.
*If THE MAN is watching I'd like to extend my sincere thanks for not busting down my door - yet... - and hauling me off to a place that I'd rather not be.
I didn't realize that I had so many 420mag stars stopping by until reading your comment and letting it sink in for a minute or 2. I was about to disagree with you since I know this is not one of the more popular journals on this site. But your comment made me realize that of the few pals that are frequent visitors most do have mad grow skills and years of knowledge and grow experience. In fact, many of my - or rather "our" pals here are past and current Members of the Month, Nugget of the Month / Year winners, etc. I'm not going to drop names but you know who they are.
All of a sudden I feel special - like the kid that licks windows and eats buggers but still gets to hang out with the cool crowd.
For the record - I've never grown cannabis using SOG planting beds like I had mentioned to you.I had considered a "mini SOG" but then thought it mite be a waste of seeds... Now you say it, it's not such a bad idea.. 6 strains at a time would nice.. And 5-7oz not too shabby... You don't think a shared bed would create nutritional problems maybe? Mite be a bit hard to manage, in case they ever need moving...
I sound like I against the shared bed but it mite actually be easier.. Wouldn't need much soil I guess, weight-wise..
I'm a strong proponent of longer veg times. IMHO forcing a plant to flower before it's matured enough just doesn't seem right or natural. I'm no expert but I've found that @ 45 to 70 days or more seems to be ideal assuming that adequate grow space is available. The plant will be mature and her hormones will be firing on all cylinders by this point. She'll be primed and ready to flower and develop to her full potential once the photoperiod is changed. I think forcing flowering earlier than 30 to 45 days likely results in the plant not reaching it's full potential. There's my non-scientific substantiated $0.02 anyways.Based on what I've read, I'd always figured on at least 2 weeks veg, figuring that mature plants would be healthier flowerers. My six week veg time limit is mostly cos I'm impatient; A 2-4 month veg + 2-3 month flower... Shit I'd be pulling my hair out! Hence the deliberately small box.. Well, it's for stealth, too.
So maybe 3-6 plants, 3 week veg....? Was planning to FIM once at third node if only 2 plants.. Or will they just grow that fast under the Reflector that 3 weeks is too long? It is a smallish footprint.. Should I only use grow switch for seedling and have a lower height? I kinda wanna set the light at 700-800mm, hit both switches and let it go....
Ha Ha there you go! A bunch of newb questions for ya...
the first grow will be 2-3 plants just to see what happens, then go from there.
Box is almost done...
Happy New Year to youHello - again - and Happy New Year to all my 420mag pals.

Dang I was hoping the air pots mite help reduce pot size.. That's cool. I'll just make slightly bigger ones.
Re extraction; I do have extraction fans; I just assumed that the extraction fans, and the light fans, would combine in suction given air is only coming in from one spot (passive in false floor)...That assumption is based on my complete lack of any HVAC knowledge, and my quite shitty math skills...
I mean, even the light fans have gotta get their air from somewhere... If there were no other fans or holes/oulet in the box, just a passive intake, wouldn't the light fans suck in air 'til the box was full and pressure equalised? They mite be workin hard and wreck the light or themselves once they start to 're-circulate'....
I was assuming that the light would assist with the intake, even just a little bit, making more air available, thus making extraction easier on the extraction fans...
As long as it works; like you say: heat will be the problem here.. I'm almost ready to paint inside the box and when dry, will do a dry run for a day or 2 to monitor temps...
Soon....!

Thanks for the kind words WC. That means a lot coming from a weaselcracker like yourself.
Don't worry pal, the agony of defeat is always lurking somewhere in the shadows just waiting for the right moment to strike. Stick around a while and you'll see what I mean.
Example -
Tent collapse
Dried on the vine cannabis
See what I mean? LOL!
Dang, unsubscribed myself.
Looks like I got some catching up to do.
I sure wish they would have a CONFIRM on unsubscribe - it is so easy to hit accidentally on a touch screen
You should suggest this to the staff. I've done this myself numerous times, falling asleep at the iPad. When you have over a hundred subscriptions it's challenging trying to figure out which one the sleepy finger hit.

Can you add a "Are you sure you want to unsubscribe?" prompt after the user selects "unsubscribe" (under the Thread name, next to "reply") ?

It is VERY easy to accidentally unsubscribe from a thread you are following by touching "unsubscribe" when a member is attempting to merely open the thread. The unsubscribe function on that page automatically refreshes the modified list, so one can't even go back a page and select the thread and subscribe again.
I make this error at least 3 times a month, and it seems I'm not the only one.
