Will I have enough space?

[Datakeova420]

Hello RIU,

This is my second thread i'm actually looking into a box that is 72"Hx26"Wx18"D....I will be growing in hydroponics instead of aeroponics. I will be looking to have a perpetual grow cycle...the entire box will be broken down into 2 chambers...Im looking to have the top chamber about 22" for veg/clones with 3 55w CFLs and the bottom with about 46" for flower/budding with a 250w HPS....my question is do you think I will have enough room to produce a 1/2 lb per harvest? I will be using a combo of a carbon filter and ona mist for plant odor, would this be effective? As for nutrients I plan to use the basic 3 grow nutrients in addition to advanced nutrients connoisseur A&B during flowering. Any feedback will be appriciated...thanks

That's plenty of room as far as I can tell. A lot of books will tell you that you can grow 9 to 12 plants in a space of 48'' by 48'', so I'm guessing you'll be okay with this.

And the lighting sounds okay, but it's always better to check with the plants as they grow to see how they are reacting.

If they seem to be a little too stressed, then you need to move them away from the light, but if not, then you are off to a good start.

I'm sure everything is going to be just fine.

Good luck man.....
