I used a 400w in a 2x4 closet and now i'm going with a 600w and the 400w in a slightly bigger space. If i could go back in time i would have just gone with the 600w originally.

you can also get those dimmable ballasts - lumatek has one but the cost more $.

I read somewhere in this thread you wanna have 5 mums going to keep 5 strains? haha you must be copying me... Im using a 200w CFL to keep them under when they grow up. I had 3 under before and it produced way to many clones so i figure 5 should do fine.

I hope this is helpfull - but go with the 600w you will be happy happy happy instead of just happy with the 400w:leaf:


yeah i changed my mind on the grow ... im just going to get 10 fem seeds and grow 9 ... then start again after harvest ...
im ina busy city centre so if i get caught id rather get caught with only 9 plants ... rather than 9 plants 5 mothers ... and clones... just a bit safer...

yeah 600 sounds good .. i hear ill get a better grow and with the plants in tomato cages like the ones below ... i should get 9 under one light( ill just raise the smaller plants to canopy level )

u dont need the cages. have u grown before? 9 plants in that space under a 600 is plenty of light. and just enough plants. shit id put more plants in there without cages. just cause your going to have extra room. id probably have at least 12. that way i assured myself of getting maximum yield. i wouldnt mess with fem seeds either. some of the best seed companies dont believe in it. and wont give you there genetics femd anyway. tga seeds for example. subcool will talk shit bout it all day. idk good luck with w.e u end up doing.

yeah i just wasnt sure what a good amount is for the space . but without fem seeds ..im guessing ill have to take like 30 seeds from seed to flower to make sure i get 12 fem ...
