Good afternoon fellow growers!
New here to the forum and also new on growing indoors. I have grown lots outdoors in the past, but since I have moved to a very small town where houses dont have much privacy, I am adventuring on growing indoors.
My grow size will be basically the size of a single bed/mattress size. Basically 100cm x 190cm rectangle. I have already bought those corners connections for PCV pipes of 20mm. I havent decided yet how tall I will make it, but those measurements should give you guys an estimated area.
I bought a small led painel from Cadu’s Cultlight brand 65w for now the early first months but yesterday I purchased the FC4000 EVO 320w from MarsHydro. It should be ideal for my rectangular shape grow I think.
I used to live in the countryside of SP where the soil is very rich and lots of friends nearby were also growing huge plants.
I had to move to the northeast cost of RIO DE JANEIRO county due to my job, so I basically beggining from scratch here. I had to leave everything I had behind due to the regime we are living here now, it’s getting very risky to have seeds or growing equipments with you, specifically in my case that basically moved with my dogs and the essential on my car. I didnt want to risk having seeds or anything realated since there are tons of Federal Police checkpoints.
Even though it doesnt look to far, this new place I moved is about 1000km away from where I used to live. The soil here is very poor, basically beach sand with too much salt and acidity. It rains way less but its way more humid since it’s near the coast. The humidity levels are usually arround 75 to 85% on sunny days. Possibly I will have to invest in a very good dehumidifier soon.
I tried growing only one plant here since I have moved and it went kinda okay, even though the plant was only getting a little of direct sunlight from 9am to 1pm. Very little but it was hidden behind the house where the sun doesn’t shine much. I harvested it a little early afraid of the flowers get mouldy since we were entering winter and the rain season was nasty. Even with everything against the odds it turned out okay. It was a seed from Paraguays weed (prensado). It smells a lot like lemongrass but the taste is very fruity towards papaya.
I believe that trying now indoors I might be able to harvest way more, but I will need a very good dehumidifier.
I will leave a couple of pictures of the grow place indoor and after a couple of pictures from the last harvest I just mentioned.
Growing indoors is very new to me, so any input, suggestion and recommendations are very welcome

King regards to all gardners out there!
Here some images from the plant that barely had sunlight
