first grow in homebox, probably using lst

good day dear fellows

i read a lot to be prepared well enough for my first grow, but i wasn't sure about the right equipment.
but now i got an excellent offer by a friend, i can buy his homebox sized 80*80*160cm, including all his other stuff to grow (lightning, ventilation, earth, perlite etc.) an i took it! :D

now i ask myself hot to use this space properly :P


do you think it is smart to use low-stress-training?

i would really want to use 2 levels in the box

this is a schematic setup of my homebox, please note that i planned to grow 2 plants per level, so i get 4 plants (or 3 levels and 6 plants? :D)

now my questions ARE:

make this construction sense? :D
would the plants grow like in the picture seen below?

further i ask myself at which lenght should i send the plants into the flower? i have 60cm in the width so they should not be about 20cm i guess...


i am thankful about every suggestion and comment!!!

I can't see why it wouldn't work. Make sure to get a PH test kit, and thermometer and humidity tester. You can get all 3 for under 20$

Also if the lights ur using are CFL's make sure to keep them as close as you can to the plants without burning them, I use CFL's for veg and can keep my lights about 1" from my plants but others have to keep them 2"-3" away, just keep a eye on your girls.

Also make sure you look into super cropping and topping your plants. This will help you make your plants short and bushy rather then tall and stalky.

Also try to make the bottem chamber for budding and top for veg? Make sure no light can get from the top chamber to the bottem chamber if you do this. Also use 6500k bulbs for veg and 2500k for budding. (I mix both for both stages but use more 6500k during veg and more 2500k during bud) also I found with CFL's if possible try to get 100 watts per plant for veg and try to get 150-200watts per plant for budding.

Hope that helps, stay high my friend peace.
 
i have a ph test kit, thermometer, humidity tester and cfls with the correct light spectra and enough power (i hope), and of course i want the lights as near aspossible to the plants

but whats for example with the upper plant? wouldn't it sproud downwards, too? because there are light sources under the plant.
 
i dont want to use supercropping, because it would hurt the plant and slow its growth down. i think with low stress training it should be no problem to let the plant grow horizontal.

do you think 3 levels with on each of it would work with the space? of course with lightning at ca 150watt cfl for every level :P
