i plan on having 10 plants flowering at all times. i'm looking to grow chronic. i was originally going to go with a feminized strain by dutch passion but i've heard alot of good things about chronic. i dont know why i only said 1oz. I may have been drunk, who knows? i want to flower 10 plant every 4 weeks. I guess i just want to know how i can do this. i dont kno how much my energy bill would be but i would use two 400w hps fixtures for this op. i just wanna make this work. i need help.

man you need some room for this op.
You will need about 10-15 sq ft for the 10 flowering. The 2 400w hps should cover that fairly well.
Then you will need room for the clones and the mothers.
I guess would not be that much space if your tidy.
You definately will be a sea of green. sog

go to youtube and do a search for growing marijuana.
Their are some growing videos that show just what you are looking for, as far as grow room set up.

Well, you didn't say how you intend to grow them, but to do what you say, you'll need to have a 2-stage flowering room, and probably a veg room, too. For you to pull 10 plants every 4 weeks, you'd have 20 plants in flower at all times, and 10 in the veg room. Put the 2 HPS in the flowering room, and put 10 plants under each (about 3x3 area).

HTH :mrgreen:

Welcome to the forum, sorry if it seems like we jumped your thread. Potroast has it right, he already know that. I would recommend, to everyone that is thinking about doing this, you read How To Get A Harvest Every Two Weeks, a thread posted in this forum by Al B Fuct. Ignore all the bullshit argument about light. Then read Widows journal, the one with all the pictures. I'm working on this kind of set-up right now. If I had read his entire journal, when I was at the stage you are now, I could have saved myself about 6 months. For the lights, don't get 400 watt for the flowering room. A 400 watt will put out about 43000 lumens. A 600 watt will put out about 95,000 lumens. 50% more energy used, 100% more light. Since you can place a 600 watt air cooled fixture about 2" higher than the 400 watt or about 14" above the plants you will get a better yield per plant. Use the 400 watt for the two mothers. They will be vegging, and the 400 will be enough for that. Flouro's will work fine for clones while they are rooting, because you can put them closer to the plants.
Read some of the information on cloning, and begin trying to clone about a month after your seedlings have sprouted. That is the key to getting this type of setup operating. Potroast is a master at this.
Well... like I said, welcome to the forum. VV

i would try researching it. its really not htat hard to set up your own grow room. you wont be able to do shit if you are just given a grow room and told to grow weed. you will fuck up. just know what you need. everything doesnt have to be perfect. get on lime wire and download marijuana growing videos. a good one is i grow chronic.
