That's precisely what I want them to do. The problem with growing outside now is that once you plant a seed or throw a clone out there as soon as it matures it starts to bud. As you can imagine one ends up with smaller plants since they really had no veg time, or time to actually grow before budding. So that I don't mind at all; it's exactly what I know will happen and calculated for. As soon as they reach outside and start budding I can count down the weeks depending on the strain and proceed with a flowering schedule in terms of feeding and nutrients and so forth. HydoDan is saying it will suffice; is that if the area is left as is or reduced somehow? And Jimi i saying to go higher AND to reduce the space. Oh boy, lol. But Jimi I'll definitely keep that in mind; any particular method of introduction you can recommend? Bring them out for an hour and back in or something, I don't know. It's like, right now I'll plant a seed [A]. One week later it's just whatever light we decide to go with and plant A. A week after that, that light has to be able to deal with Plant A, which is now two weeks old, and a new seed, B. A week later I have a three-week old plant [A] and a one-week old plant, B. One week later, on the day plant A reaches four weeks old, I'll be moving her outside, which means at the MOST, and not for long, I have a plant approaching/at four weeks, [A], a plant approaching/at two weeks, and a little thing that just popped up or a clone, [C]. That's it. Outside now will be the five plants that they can see in their sixth, eighth, tenth, twelfth, and possibly fourteenth week, which really translates to 8-10 weeks of flowering, depending on the strain [but obviously I'm accounting for that time]. So I'm wondering, based off what's been said, that if I decide to leave the closet as is, which is a 4' area then I'd need the 400w MH but if I can find a way to reduce that space to say 2.5'/3' then I can get away with the 250w? Guys, this is the one room I have to setup. Thankfully mother nature is dealing with the "lights" for the flowering room [sun/outside]. I say this to say that since this is just the one room I have to setup I wanna make it ideal. However, I'm also not rich. I'm willing to reduce the area however I can if it means the new area will be ideal for a 250w setup and save me some money at the same time. But if reducing the area and using a 250w bulb is actually INFERIOR to keeping the area as is and using a 400w then I won't do it because I want the setup ideal. I want those plants in veg havin' the time of their lives, lol. I wanna do it right and not cut any corners, I'm just not made of money to where I can afford to be spending more than I have to. I want perfect conditions, I just don't want to spend more than I have to for it and, as we all know, one of the biggest issues us newbies have with lights is spending too much, lol.
