Need Help Please - First Grow indoors

Ok 8 plants you wanna go for about 600 watt hps +
keep to the basics as your new to growing so grow using soil what esle you need to know ?

you could build a cheap, passive, wic hydro system, if you are planning on getting into hydro it will be easy, and you can leave it alone for days even a week if you wanted. you can learn with this system and upgrade later. i've been doing this for yrs, its still the system i use, i do a soiloponics wic system and i love it .the designs are easy to find online and very easy to put together and maintain.

i would recomend sticking with dirt, 3 gallon pots then you only need to be there to water every few days.also easier to learn, imo

thing is if your gone for a few and your power goes out or whatever with areoponics you'd be done .neither areo/hydroponics are set it and forget it type systems especially when you are starting off. you have to monitor those systems quite alot and adjust as necessary ph,ec,nute levels,. I was just saying its easier to learn things slowly instead of getting in over your head with way to many different aspects of this art. but if you're confident you have a decent basic knowledge then go for it. but no one can tell you what you need research systems and see what you like and ask about those specific systems and you'll get better answers prolly. oh and passive hydro systems are "automatic" its as close as you can get to set it and forget it (indoors)

LOL if hes new to growing he dont wanna do (areoponics,or,hydroponics) lol they might end up dead...just for the first just go for soil

Does anyone have any thoughts on the area I'm working with would 8 plants be ok or should I plant more or less?

so, basically you want advice, but only if that advice is what high tech system to buy that you don't know how to use ,and even if you did ,you dont know how to grow, but all you really need is high yeilds, so it should be and easy answer for us to give you right?

keep it simple to learn, dont need the co2,water chiller and all the extra fancy stuff. your going to use a 400 watt what mh or hps

8 is fine if you have a 600watt hps or more you need about 1m square (LOL the light goes on top)

I guess what I was looking for was some ideas on growing in a cabinet and what type of setup would work out the best. Just tired of buying crap smoke and would like to grow my own. Any help/advice would be great. Just looking for alittle direction. I already bought the cabinet and have about 6 books on the way on how to grow hydro indoors.

Read the books then lol ??? or vids online (remember everyone got different setups)
Cfls are not as hot so that could be good if you know know it is

i use a 400 watt hps for flowering. room is 3x4x7 tall. i have 8 chemo`s in it right now. i use soilless soil and verry simple nutes and water schedule and my last crop got me a coupl ounces of each plant. the fancy system helps a bit but good smoke and yield comes from good care. not fancy equiptment

Thanks for the info, do you have an example of your setup?
