2' deep x 4' wide x 4 foot high closet

I only plan on growing 2 plants. 1 Super Lemon Haze and another bag seed. How many CFL lights will I need for this? I know there is tons of tutorials but I'm tired and I know there are people that can tell me in half a sentence.

I NEVER have any visitors, so I'm not necessarily worried about anybody stepping into my house and smelling it. Can I just leave the closet door open for a few hours a day instead of putting in a ventilation system? I figure the CO2 from my breath will benefit the plants and the Oxygen they put off will help me.

I have access to rabbit manure so planning on doing this organic in 3 or 4 gallon buckets.

I might end up using one of the plants as a mother for clones when outdoor planting is viable. I live in a place that is dark and rainy all summer. Outdoor planing won't be available until the first week of May.

Ideas, suggestions? First grow, so any input will be nice.

Thanks,

FW

I can't give that great of advice aside from you want a HPS light either 250/400 watts you're going to need to cover the room with some mylar. If you can ensure that there is air going out & fresh air coming in then you should have good air. Sorry I couldn't be of more help about the air flow situation I have a 6 inch in line set up for my grow tent and my room stays between 80-86 F with 35-45% humidity.

I'm going to use thick white paper to cover the inside. I know I can work something out with ventilation. Not too worried about that.

I have a bunch of CFL's, and want to use those. I don't want to go and buy a HPS light.

So, (bump) how many CFL's will I need for this setup?

I would go at least a 100 watt per plant...at least. Keep em short or if they get too tall side light em. Go ahead sounds good 2 plants should do grate in there.

fyi, a 400w hps would be perfect for your situation. an entire kit could be found for under $100 and your first yield will more than likely pay for that difference. However, if you're going to use cfl, I'd recommend at least a 125w per plant. And as mentioned, side lighting is a good idea. Just pick up a couple socket splitters and stick 2-23w cfl's on each side (totally 8 bulbs, 184w) Between all of that youll be slightly above 400w. That's what you want, 50w/sq ft. 400w/8ft=50. 2 of those 125w bulbs may run you the same as a 400w hps anyway though.

Yeah, I don't have the money for a HPS right now. So the 8 23watt cfl's will be the way I'm going.

I was pulling an oz a week from a 2x3x3 closet running 388w of CFL. Info is in my signature.
