Help please

Hi everyone. Can somebody help me please. I have a 2x2x4 grow box I made. I have 6 sprouts. With a 300 CFL and a 65 watt grow bulb. Do I have a enough room. And do I need more lights. Thank you

No and Yes...not enough room for 6 plants Yes you need more light.

That's enough light for CFL. You can get by with 300 in veg. You might add 50w in flower. But, 46w/sq ft isn't bad for CFL. 50-60 is probably better in flower. But, it will work.

You'll have to transplant to 1gal containers and go 12/12 early. You can't get too large in that space. (Autoflowers work well in a 4' tall space.). If you're growing photosensitives, they'll stretch a lot when you do 12/12. You'll want to familiarize yourself with topping, low-stress training (LST). It depends on the strain. Indicas won't stretch as much as a sativa.

My strain is master kush hybrid fem. I'm running a 300w 2700 lumen 65w grow bulb and a fan. The planets do good at night. 1 is in a 2 gal pot an the rest I just put in Dixie cups. I'm just getting started. I'm trying to think ahead.

Thanks

I count on at least 4 square feet for each flowering plant. Note - if you are setting up a 2 room grow you should allot 4 times the floor space for flowering as for vegging. That's what it takes me.

Good luck, BigSteve.

Thanks for the lnput

I am running 5'x2' so 10 sqft with x12 23w and x6 40w that's 516w and my plant looks good so far so I think you have enough light but the more the better. I would try as you go and give the plant more light if it needs it to get growing.

Ok peeps. I just add a another 300w. Now I am running two 300 w bulbs. 1is 2700 lumen and the other is 3900 lumen. Question is to much???? Plants are doing good with just 1 300w. And I have 3 plants going right now

That's 150w/sq ft. With CFL you should only need about 50? With T5HO it's 40. I'm using Cree LED lightbulbs from Home Depot at 30w/sq ft.

And that's for flowering. For veg maybe 30% less?

I think you would be better off with more, smaller bulbs so you can add light as needed, distribute the light around the plants.

ok I took out the extra bulb. Keep it the way it was. Plants are doing great. So when I get ready to flower add the extra 300w CFL. That we'll be 600 watts on a 12/12
