hello all as it says going pro from the 1st try ( making a big investion without any experience ) i've read a lot about planting so im quite confident on myself
THE PLACE WHERE ALL IS GONNA HAPPEN
its gonna be quite small on 2 square foot ( 57x57 cm ) (in a closet )
THE GROWING SYSTEM

I'm gonna try to build a deep water culture system , thing is the plastic box has to be in a square form ( any ideas what i could use as plastic box ?! )
http://www.head-nature.com/05092?id=pISZZbtF&mv_pc=530 this im gonna use for water pumping
tell me if i need something else for the water culture system plzzzzzzz
THE LIGHTNING

http://www.head-nature.com/04537?id=pISZZbtF&mv_pc=687
Now important question i can get a 400 watts or a 600 watts as i have readed 50.000 lumens per square foot the 400 watts growlux makes 55.000 and the 600watts makes 95.000 but the question i keep asking to myself how many fans will i be needing to dont burn my plants with the 600 watts :S and how big the hole for airation should be ( gonna place a fan at the hole where the air goes out and 1 more next to the plants and 1 more if needed but does it worth it? all that effort or should i just stick with 400 watts bulb i get a 2nd bulb for vegetative stage!!! )
TAKING CARE OF THE PLANT
http://www.head-nature.com/04515.html?mv_session_id=pISZZbtF
is this EC meter good?
it shows in mS
THE NUTRIENTS http://www.head-nature.com/04537?id=pISZZbtF&mv_pc=687 they go with the light + good things on the forums about those nutritients
A cheap ph kit will do the thing as i've read on the forums
HUMIDITY haven't really saw a lot about that .....aint gonna be a real pain in the ass since its gonna be warm like hell in the closet from the hps bulb?
if humidity is still gonna be a problem can i get a link for more info plzzzzz
CO2
https://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=faq&cmd=article&id=263
is it working good this cheap system ? or do i have to buy co2 cartridges and all
THE SEEDS
http://www.dutchpassion.nl/home.php?p=interior&l=en&detail=21
white widow or should i take something else http://www.dutchpassion.nl/home.php?p=interior&l=en
My budget is : if it worth it i'll buy it but i aint gonna pay a load of cash neither
God im so excited gonna even put a radio with music next to the plants so they grow in harmony
P.S : what music do u guys think they like rap or classic?

two square feet? HID lights arent gonna work man. cfls would probably be better for 2 square feet

get more space, there's no point in wasting all this money for a 2sq ft operation, you can grow at most 4 plants in that...and those would be small plants

and about the humidity...you don't want the closet "warm as hell" from the lights, thatll make your buds grow too fluffy and youll lose alot of yield, you want it to remain about room temperature i think, this will happen from good circulation and insulation of the room

tbh i dont really care what im gonna grow for as long as it gets me high just thought about white widow since it gets u really good + when i saw what that guy got from 6 plants from the seed bank im gonna buy, i was like HOLY SHIT im rich biatch http://www.sweetleaf.co.uk/yourpics6.php check the link for the foto + i saw a lot of fotos of white widow that they grow really compact , thats why i really want to get the 400 hps light to work with my system since more lumens = more buds everywhere i've just sent an e-mail to dutchpassion.nl to see what they recommend for small space

IF you gonna use HID lighting you wouldn't need more than 250w in that small a space. If you go with that, the heat shouldn't be to much of a problem. But it still seems like you got so reading to do bro. Your off to a good start... Good luck
 
Play mozart man:)
Exactly what I was thinking! When the babies are awake play something progressive and fast to keep em' working hard and at night end it with some classical and relaxing tunes. Friends back a year ago had a beautiful plant under a nice 8 tube fluorescent light in the middle of their band rehearsal space. that plant thrived under such weak conditions and they got 4 wonderful ounces with myself administering nutrients and getting it situated with temp control. good jazz musicians too, not sure how she would have done if exposed to hip hop rehearsals probablly would have turned into regs. :bigjoint:
