Cheers Gary, 2 OZ dried from 1 grow sounds perfect. I probably smoke an Oz or so a month so if I flip new plants as I harvest I should be set. Looking at HPS but don't you think it will be a bit overkill for the small grow cab and 2 plants? Would prefer to keep things simple while I learn the basics and upgrade/improve along the way.
the cfl will do the job but i would recommend using a 250 HPS a u will get better results even in a small space with 2 plants

600s all the way i say well saying that I've got a 600 400.and 250 Lol..Yeh Gary man found me balls lol
im the same m8 got a 600hps, 400hps and a 300cfl i just gave the 250hps away to a mate of a mate.
so hows the cheese then is it worth the risk and wait of ordering on the road?

Won't the HPS cause heat issues though? Trying to keep this as low key as possible, gf is sort of ok with it but I want things to be as stealthy as possible, my reasoning is that the HPS will require more fans = more noise which I would like to avoid if possible.
 
You guys are right 600s are the bizz i gave up the 400s and 250 only use them for cuttings and seedlings what kind of nutes are u guys using anybody using advanced nutes 3 part I've got a couple of questions ?

My pal grows in a cubpoard with no intake/exhaust fans he has 1 300w dual CFL above and 2 x 125 at the side, he gets 4,oz from 2 plants, just leaves cupboard door open. For the extra £60 on 2 more small cfls its well worth it, i would say whilst the smoke was fine the buds are not as tight as what you would get with a hps. I would go 1 x 250 w hps and side light 2 x 125 cfls. a cheap 12" oscilating fan will do the trick, you dont need an intake or exhaust for such a small grow, just leave open. My first i did 4 plants under a 400w hps, hadnt got a clue, had no intake fan no oscilating fan, heat issues, condensation everywhere, still pulled 2 oz a plant of quality bud.

GF is sound, keeps me level headed. She's the goody 2 shoes type of girl, tolerates but disapproves if you know what I mean. I'll check out your logs.

In other news, just read an article on TOR not being as secure as imagined.. maybe some food for thought: http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/tor-is-less-anonymous-than-you-think
