I wouldn't count on more than 1/8 to 1/4 ounce of dry material.

Buy one of those BIG 150 watt CFL bulbs at least.

If you can't pull at least an ounce, is it worth 3 months of your time?

Peace.

You'll be fine.

Loose the tin foil - it reflects light in poor directions because of the wrinkles. Paint the inside flat white with a cheap can of spray paint.

The 6500K's are good but try to find a better red spectrum -2700K will be better than 3500K.

Auto's are best for PC cases in my opinion - they generally stay short and are not affected by light cycles for the most part. It's hard to keep unwanted light in/out of the case.

I'd use an intake and exhaust fan since those lights will heat up the small area pretty quickly.

  • Thanks, do you mean I'll be fine with 80w or 160w?​

Shoot for an ounce. Keep her happy and she will reward you.

PC grows are more of a hobby grow in my opinion. You won't have a ton of bud but you'll have enough to keep you happy.

That's pretty close to what I got from my last one.
From 305w (just the last month or so, before that, I only had 98w), one month veg and lots of LST'ing, I got 2.71 oz. dry and cured.
I like to veg with 5000k and 2700k mixed, then just leave the 5000k's when I flip, instead of taking them out like most do.
