Need Help Please - First Grow indoors

ok i just looked at my pic`s and i notice i dont have any of my flower room. i`ll take some later today for ya. thier sleeping right now awake at 4 pm. it`s basicaly a closet lined with black white,450 cfm fan with an odor sock, 400 watt hpsright now i`m at day22 or23 of flower

Yh nice pic dude Sweet setup..

Thanks for the help Bonz, just want to do this as right as possible. What do you think of Skunk #1 or Northern lights for a trial run?

1. get 8 cheap pots 1.25$ each depending on where you live
2.Get 48 watt CFL's HPS's are expensive a 600 watter is 189$ lol.....
3.Its a weed it will grow. do not water it everyday unless they are seedlings then water them everyday until they get a little bigger
4. No Nutes until you have at least 8 leafs on the plant i messed up i gave my 10 WW's nutes overwatered etc

This is along the lines of what I was thinking of doing only with 8 plants and a 600 watt HPS

a 600w hps has about 95000 lumens which would be great for a 1m squared box with 8 plants

How do I find the square footage of my grow cabinet?

multiply the width x length x hight. you need to know this for the fan cfm. you will want to change the air every 2 or 3 minuites. i bought my 400 wat ballast for 30 or 40 bucks and a 430 watt hps bulb for 30 bucks, my hood with glass, sockets,complete for 60 bucks

for veg to save money you can use cfl`s but for flower use hps. a 400 watt hps is good for a 3x3 erea,600 watt,4x3, and a 1000 iether a 4x4 or 5x4
should be 50 to 100 watts per square foot and at least a couple thousand lumens per square foot.recomend 5000 per square foot

I'm working with about 4' x 2' x 6' so 600 watt should be ok. Any opinions on a digital ballast

400 would probably do, but sure go a 600. the extra would help all around. digital is the way to go for efficiency, and defenetly get a conversion. then you can use both metal halide for veg and hps for flower. i`m in the market for one riight now

the skunk gets real stinky,nice though and the northern lights # 5 is good and stable and i believe has highest potency of them
basicaly comes down to the cost. the more money they cost the more work went into breeding

Yh i veg with Cfls and bud with a Hps

I was thinking of a few other things that I'll run by you for your opinion...
Cool cab for lights
Daystar AC for reflector
Mylar or Sunleaves B&W poly
Coco can filter or ozone generator
Humidifier
co2
water chiller cooler
hepa filter for intake fan
What size intake & exaust fans would use use on this build
if this turns into a Aero build would you suggest a fogger

Was also looking for a little stealth, so I would like for all pumps and fans to run as quite as possible.
Are there any plants that would work better for an indoor grow of this type, also easy on a newbie

LOL dude you want everything

i`ll look up some of this stuff and give my opinion,some i`veused and some i`m researching. need to go for a coffee first bud. i also have a couple old timers with me for 20 30 years experience, i`m sure we can get you rockin

hey if he`s got the money why not. my theory is spend cheep and spen twice

Thanks, for all you help, that’s why I would like to get a great setup together the first time around. As far as the other comment, if you want to help or give advice then thanks if not good bye! Thought I came to the right place for advice before I go and spend any money on a setup and find that it doesn’t work for what I want to do. I don't mind spending the extra buck to get it done right the first time. Isn't that what anyone would do?

Most people would start out small and learn before trying to go all balls to the walls dutch breeder style and waste their time and money because they like what they see in high times. If you only want the advice you want to hear your in the wrong place there is always more then one answer to your question. i'll see you on here in a few months with exclamation points next you your thread reading Help all my nL's are dieing.
