Hi. I have a grow space of 4x2x5 and 1 x 125w cfl and 1 x 65w cfl, 1 x 90w led.
Aware that I'll be most likely recommended to pick up a few more bulbs, two more 125w and one more 65w cfl's and potentially 1-2 more 90w led's is what I was seeing, a few more dual fixtures, and some wireings. I would like to do cfl for veg, and then combo cfl/led or even all led for flower. Totally open to suggestions and help. That's my intent on posting, I have read throughout the forum and will do so more, for similar postings covering related grows.
I have 8 pots, and would love to grow 8 plants organically, most likely all from seed, that part I have. Seeds, organic soil/compost, nutrients, proper ph balance. I am into composting and growing fruits and vegetables as well, so some real nice compost is breaking down right now that I will put into the soil.
The tent is calibrated and so are the two lights I have, cfl's, what I was seeing is three lights hanging, and one on each side in the middle about 3ft down (and adjustable as the plants grow) fastened. Total of 5 cfl's and, 3 x 125w and 2 x 65w, totaling 505w for a desired 8 plants, that is 40w per plant veg.
For flowering I only have the one 90w led, and was seeing either led/cfl combo or just led and getting 1-2 more 90w lights for a total of 270w for a desired 8 plants.
In response, I would appreciated;
1) what you feel I am capable of (how many, and the quality of plants) with what I have currently, 1 x 125w and 1 x 65w cfl bulb for veg, and 1 x 90w led for flowering.
2) what you feel about my seeing the 3 x 125w cfl and 2 x 65w cfl for veg and, cfl/led combo for flowering, or 2-3 x 90w led for flowering
3) what you feel that I would need to successfully cultivate 8 happy plants organically to high quality potent potential, and whether you feel I have the space (4x2x5) to fulfill that desire.
I was told that the current lights were able to help 8 plants grow and a total of 1 - 1 1/4 lb of medicine was cultivated each harvest. from what I have read, it's not quite saying that. i have seen posted that is recommended 100w for plant 1 and 50w per additional plant.
Send me some recommendations. I am pretty clear on the soil blend I want to use, and I have composting that i will add to it, and will test the ph of the soil to ensure its right. all organic, from organic fruit and vegetable peels, and remains.
summary:
4ft long by 2ft wide by 5ft tall, indoor closet cfl grow.
current have: 1x125w cfl, & 1x65w cfl bulb(s) - open to getting more, was looking to get 2x125 and 1x65 more for a total of 505w. - for vegitation
1x90w led ufo light - open to getting more 1-2x90w, or doing a combo cfl/led - for flowering
fan, exhaust hose, and air filter
8 pots, will get the soil (fox farm or one that is better suggested), organic compost for nutrients
want to grow all from seed, or open to doing combo seed/clone grow.
let's talk. thank you!
