smoking and usage

nicholasj · #1 (**permalink**) 11-26-2005, 05:09 PM

I am going to start my first grow soon and was wondering if the current space i have for a grow room is large enough(3' high. 3 1/2' wide, 1 1/2' deep) and/or how many plants i should grow in said space. also i would love any other helpful hints. I've been trying to do my homework and I hope it pays off....

the general rule of thumb people seem to go by is 1 plant to 1 square foot .. but you also need enough light to back this up .. your space is big enough but you would want to force flower your plants early so they dont grow too big during the stretch ..

cool, thanks. I have a 250w HPS light, do you think that is big enough for my space, or should I go with a 400w?

you should do just fine with the 250 HPS..50w per sq. ft.will still yeild you some quality herb.
400 would probablybe too hot for your space...
GOOD LUCK GOOD GROWING

a qick question about ventilation...do I need to have an exuast fan and then a seperate fan blowing on the plants ? Ive heard some different oppinions and im a little confused....

BEST WAY TO DO IT ......who really knows ....WHAT ot try ......small oscillating fan on the floor directed up breezing on the plants.....(a friends 400 is sealed n vented --it grabs the air coming up n the fan in there moves it all down tha dryer tube) but yea another fan is used to exhaust all of it out...................................if you had only one fan that was powerful enough to create enough air movement you could use it to exhaust the space- -and the air being brought in could move warm air and plants on its way out..........A Little high..............
