When I decided I was going to try my hand at indoor growing I wondered my 8 foot high area was high enough. I've grown a few outsiders and they were Christmas trees.
I know it depends allot on the strain but the results I'm seeing from indoor CFL grows aren't very abundent.
I'm trying many different strains and a few different growing mediums including Fox Farm soil with a few amendements and DWC hydro.
Ive sprouted Northernlight/ BigBud, (Dutch Passion)=White Widow, (dinafem)=Road Runner, Cali Hash, Royal Haze, Grapefruit, Critical+ and some grab bag seeds.
My area is 3 ft x 5 ft by 8 ft high, mylar lined. I've put a combo of 6500K, 5000K and 2700K CFLs totalling around 50,000 Lumens suspended in 4 bundles of 4 bulbs to adjust height accordingly.
I have a 1200 LED array in red / blue.
I'll have 6 - 8 (48 socket total) socket light bars mounted on the walls I'll put more CFL or LED floods or spots in. Probably only 4 bulbs per bar to keep amp draw down but these bulbs will be adjustable in height.
I should have 60 -75,000 Lumens for a 15 square foot area 8 feet high.
Fox Farm 3 some for nutes.
Any ideas what can I expect growth wise?
Here's a few sprouts.
