Hey everyone:
This is my first time growing like everyone else in this section and I have a few questions. I already have a pretty complete set up in my mind and wanted to get your advice and comments. First I can run you through my space. It's a 3x2.5x6~ area. Will also have cardboard type white boards for reflection. Ultimately, I plan on having a pretty low-key set up, at most 4 plants or less and rt now I'll be starting out with 2. So, I was thinking as far as light, at first was a 150 watt sunsytsm hps but got to thinking that it just wouldn't be enough to pull off a decent yield in the flowering stage? However now, Im really starting to lean towards cfls. Particularly a 4 tube (2 feet long) 24 watt each cfl throughout every stage- 6700k.

Would this be sufficient for even two plants even thru flowering? I can buy a couple more bulbs or something if I have to. Can stretch the budget a little.
Anyways, I plan on using an organic medium- possibly fox farm or some organic mixture at a local store. Plus, maybe some starter plugs- would this be even worth it?. As far as extra nutrients goes, was thinking of buying some sort of starter kit, obviously organic and buying some neem oil just for good measure since I hear its not only good for pests but beneficial in some way for root growth I don't know. But something like a qrt. of FoxFarm Big Bloom (only start using this in the flowering stage rt?). Gonna maybe keep the nutrients to a minimum since I don't know much about them as far as measurements go. Then, I'll have the automatic timer, a rotating fan, thermostat and ill probably end up getting a pH balancer as well plus other minor stuff. Let me know what you guys think.
And if this makes a difference, I don't know exactly what strain these two that I have now are but in the future I plan on getting some lowryder #2 x ak47 that when mature are 40-70 cm.
