Anyways I'm going To build a wooden Box 2 feet, Wide 4 feet length, and 5 feet tall. Is this ok? Too big To small? I want around 1 oz off a plant I I hope. I'm going To veg till Its 2 feet tall then flower so it should double Its size. any ways Wat kid of cfl should I get for vegging and for flowering how many watts or lumens for This Box I'm Also planning To put a fan in there.do you think it'll get hot what should i do If it does. I have a ph tester timer and a thermometer.do i need more equipment or something . Any help or suggestions would be great

Well I'm a cfl grower also. I use 250watt energy saving bulbs
Cool(7500k) for veggie growth warm(2700k) for flower. Try and mix them up also for best results 3:1 for example. Go w/ multiple bulbs for best resilts

well i got with cfl last grow like 1.4oz, to get one oz is no biggie as long as you know some basic stuff. proper space, fans, heat, soil, nutes, lsting knowledge, NOT overwatering habbit etc.
you dont wanna get your plant 2 feets tall in veg with lst.. dude you will need big grow medium for root ball.. besides will be too difficult to provide enough light to lower part of plant with cfls... through all of the growing ur biggest task will be to get the lights as close to plants as possible so plan how will you hang those lights. their position has to be adjustable, also reflecting walls etc. two plants = at least 250w of actual wattage. for ur box i would say 2x 3-4 gallon medium with 5-6 weeks of vegging and flipping to flower would overachieve your 1oz per plant expectation when growed properly.also a lot comes from ur strain genetics and mistakes u will make. grow space seems to be ok.
good luck with setting this up. make sure you start a thread and read and plan before spending money
cheers!

Yea as soon as everything is set im going To write a grow journal. Probably in a week no more than 2. I know the basics about growing. I was thinking a 4 foot plant would be hard To light. should i just let it get 3 feet max? If so hows this for a grow Box: 1.5 Wide 3 feet length 4 feet tall im going To veg for till Its 1.5 feet tall around that time. I need mylar. so 250 watts for the first Box what about the smaller one

How many lights should i start With watts lumens?im going With 18/6.I think increasing the number of bulbs as it gets bigger would do good .I want it To be around 1.5 tall then ill flower it 12/12 it should be around 3 feet.i think im going To build the small Box what do you guys think ? I Want an oz at least from each plant or should I stick To the bigger Box and veg it till Its 2 feet.BTW Its my first grow

man, if you will be training I really doubt that you want your plant become 3 foots. Look at my 2nd grow #3 post, I was keeping my c99 for almost 7 weeks. 4 gallons pot and dude, it's root bounded, stems are thin and long. and that is lsted mostly sativa. You got indica, since I never growed indica I can't tell you for sure, but at least my strain definitely got bigger than 2 times... at least 4 times I would say. you can compare c99_day_46.jpg in post #3 with some pics from last posts. I tried to google about your strain, can't find any seed bank or any pics. Do that search for yourself, read grow journals how long people were vegging them. Your aim is to grow something that your pot can support.

Grow space as long as air comes in and out, looks like you're good to go.

I don't agree that to grow 1oz/plant you need 500w. try to make at least 250W from lamp bulbs mixing 2700K and 6500K in ratio 1:3 or 1:4 in veg and in flower 3:1 or 4:1 at least for me that worked quite alright. And I got 1.4oz(40g) with 140W of CFL.

also if you're taking electricity bill into account or thinking that growing MJ in 18/24 will be closer to natural growing I have to disappoint you. You can find online electricity calculator, you just type in price of electricity, total wattage and hours per day lamps are running. Well in my 3.5 month grow case I spent $45 with electricity cost $0.34 per kWh. The longer you will keep plant under the light in veg, the more it will grow. It does not need to rest. It's been proven many times and there have been superstitious people saying opposite.

Good luck man

I agree with this guy here. So far I have harvested about a third of my plant. It was grown fully under CFL with a couple of HO T5s I have laying around. Overall height was about 18"-21"
Dried and in jars right now, 40 grams. with the other two thirds hanging to dry or still on the plant for an extra week. Keep them short and keep the lights close and on all sides. Gets yours lights in place and then train your buds to grow at them.
