id stick to cfls man, 23 inches is 2 feet... minus the light of 8 inches and minus the pots of 6 inches, that leaves you 9 inches for plants :P with the light right above them

i vote you find a new area........18" isnt enough room even for a scrog...you need at least 3'
And what about pc grows? A newby,,,, yes maby but im not a newb.

Anyone else with any opinions?

Edit: (dont mean to sound cocky, i still would like to get the rest of your theory, nick)

most of the pc grows ive seen use cfl with a 1 plant scrog to produce around a 1/4 oz every 3-4 months....is it really worth it?

i go by a foot for pot...a foot for plant and a foot for light....any plant will only grow as big as its root system...so if you compromise the root space you compromise the growth of the plant....:joint:

1/4 ounce? such my nuts and call me elton. I would hope i could get at least 2 with the 150...

Aight aight, valid points. Good info. Say i did this project cause im a ballsy mofo, what kind of bud would you think i could fit in this space? ive been imagining 2 ounces... but curious what others think..?

no way you could get 2 oz off of a plant that won't be able to make it a foot. You are gonna seriously need more vertical space to use hid lights and even with cfl's in that space you won't pull 2 oz. 1 oz. max with good cfl's and good genetics, but I would really look into getting a space with more height. Not trying to be negative, but this space just won't work with HID. Good luck anyhow.

Yeah? i was kind of sensing it, plus the more room would =more yeild so i guess i cant go wrong. hmmm, i think ill add around 4 inches making it about 2 feet high of grow space. but no bigger. I guess well all see if thats possible in time. Probably finishi it tonight actually, so ill hit you all up with some pics this week.

As to your yeild theory, check this out International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - Mr. Micro's Dual PC Case, Hydro, HPS/CFL, 3 Strain Grow (with pics!)... Now what do you think?

you could easily pull 2 oz from a 150w hps.....but will you have the room ?
