Okay, i am currently growing 6 female plants ordered from nirvana, a quick review of nirvana, they were quick (the seeds got here in about 5 days) and were very discrete. i order 5 white widow plants and 5 black berry feminized
if anyone has any reviews of these strains that would be great.
anyway, i currently have 3 WW and 3 BB growing in my closet, growing under 9 CFL's and 2 grow lights from walmart (which are questionable) i think i calculated it out to 30,000 lumens total
first question is, i was told that the sun burns around 10,00 lumens per square foot on a sunny day (high noon maybe)
but i also heard that 1000-3000 lumens per square foot was adequate lighting for indoor growing
id like this to be finalized so i know what i am dealing with
also, we are looking to "renovate" the plants habitat in order to make it a better growing area (i did the best i could, small fan and they arnt getting a very good amount of fresh air, but thats why im trying to fix it lol)
one side will be for flowering and one side will be for vegging doing a sort of mini SOG
my main question is, what type of wattage should i use for each side
doing some research has lead me to believe that MH lights are greater in the blue spectrum which is good for veg and overall leaf growth and less on the stem growth, making them more condensed and the HPS lights are good for flowering, with a higher intensity in the res spectrum, which helps the plant to flower on a hormone level. (i hope that that is all correct)
so if someone could point me in the right direction, 6 plants will be growing in 9"x9" pots (3 gallons in think havent bought them yet) and will not be spaced apart.
would a 175 watt MH be good for this setup?
what should i be looking for?
where should i order online (prices, trustworthyness)
any other information that may be relevant
thanks in advanced, i hope i gave enough information
