i have no fan intake but i leave the doors open bc i have my window blocked and no one goes in my room only in my front room n such

i have read mixed things on lighting from 2500 lumen to 5000 to 12000 and idk whats bs and whats not thats why im asking ty for taking the time to read

Skunk Kush is a good producer, but a weak smoke. When I grow her I pull about 3 ounces from under a 400 in Pro-Mix BX.

1. You need 3,000 lumens per sqft for veg, 5000 for flower.
2. You choose the pot size that best fits your grow. Small plants, small pots, big plants, big pots.
3. You lst if you need to minimize height, it has nothing to do with whether or not it's a 12/12 or auto
4. Yield per plant depends on total growing conditions, including the skills of the grower.

What are you going to do when you can't leave that door open because you're on 12/12. Do you have a different area for flowering. Proper exchange of air (at least 3 times per minute) is very important to provide proper leaf respiration.

good luck

yea i have a flowerbox is like my 8th grow i just recently learned about lumens im normally an outdoor grower but like every little detail is differnt for indoor / outdoor lumens dont matter no need for pots

12/12 from birth is a waste of time and energy.

unless your working with an equatorial sativa strain this wont be much fun.

lets make a +rep bet.

im betting 12/12 from birth will end up something like this.

spindly/sparse, under 8inches n hieght, with minor fertburn. (flowering takes a shitton more nutes than a seedling can absorb)

so if im right (2 out of 3) u repme. if im wrong, rep for u.

sound fair?
