I'm very new to growing and am just building a grow cupboard. I am going to use hydroponics. I need to know how high the cupboard has to be but this is probably not the right place for this question. I will keep reading and see if I can find out......
What a great forum, thank you so much!

GROWING SPACE SIZE
The size of your growing space requirement has many many factors very importantly including the strain of plant you will be growing and equipment. how many plants u have, what system your using, what lights your using etc. keeping the heat down in a small place is alwase difficult if using over 400 watts. if your growing 1 plant in a tiny space you might want to think about a high intensity flourescent that will do the trick and let off next to no heat. to give you a rough guide line if your wanting to grow 4 plants in hydro pots with hps or mh(metal halide). you would want atleast 2ft depth 3ft width 5ft height. i wouldent go much smaller than that. a small plant with a high florescent could fit into a 1ft x 1ft x 2 ft space. Maybe thats 1 for dierwolf to try lol. hope this has been of help .ps if u post ur dimensions of ur space and what your plans are i will tell u if its sufficient
