New Grow help needed

Hi guys,

I'm planning a grow op this summer and have a few questions... I've already grown a few Lowryders (yes, was tight on space) a couple of years ago with CFLs but would like to use HIDs this time and make it a more advanced set-up.


1) How many plants (approx) fit in a 75x75x160cm grow tent ?

2) Will a 600W lighting system be too powerful for such a grow tent ? (I am planning on getting several fans + an extractor fan and carbon filter)

3) Is a dual spectrum bulb adequate for growing or is it really worth the extra cash spent on a MH bulb and a HPS bulb ?

4) Does anybody have recommendation as to feminized, non-autoflowering, moderately priced, high-yielding, seeds that aren't too difficult to grow ?

5) Would you recommend germinating several seeds and grow several plants in the grow box OR germinate one seed, grow the plant, and make clones, to produce a SOG ?

6) What would the timespan from germination to harvest typically be ?

7) Finally, this may seem like a stupid question, but can the flowering phase theoretically be triggered at any time during the vegetative phase ?


Thanks for your help.

twice?????? o well ill give you may answers again

• well i cant answer all your questions but ill do my best

  id say about 5 Full grown plants

  600w should work well

  My advice would be to do alot of research. Their are so many diffrent strains with diffrent specifications its all personal opinion and what type of grow your going for
  5
  i would reccomend 2 or 3 diffrent strains and keeping mother plants in a seperate tent, taking clones and picking which you like the most and occasionaly trying diffrent strains
  6
  Depends on the strain and how long u veg the plant but normally about 4.5 to 5 months

  Yes it can be triggered at any time...as long as the plant is mature enough. but triggering it to early can cost you yeild​
