Dwarfs in veg room?

so i'm looking to grow more weed with the space available and i'm about to have a nice gap in my veg room. im running a 2 foot 4 bulb t5 system and i would put a 200 watt cfl over say 2 dwarfs(with the t5s). i would have the whole room on 18/6 / 7. i could put a little more cfl over them if needed but temp is an issue until winter.

im just wondering if this seems doable to yall and if so what type of dwarf to grow. im interested in lowlife auto blueberry, lowlife auto hindu kush, lowlife auto akxblue berry, lowryder diesel ryder or easy ryder. any feed back on either the idea or the strains?

i've been wanting to grow a couple dwarfs since before i had my hps. i'll probably just use them for qwiso. i just want to grow some dwarfs.. :l

oh and mothers will be in the room through out the grow. probably some more clones/vegging plants too.

Re: Dwarfs in veg room?

yeah , i dont' see why that wouldn't work, auto's flower best under 20/4 light schedual, says the guy who invented them... the only thing i could see going wrong is your mother plants covering the canopy of the auto flowers if your space is restricted. also, T5 bulbs wont yield very much if you stick with them till the end. just throw up the auto's under your hps. i think that might be what you said you were already going to do, but i don't feel like reading it again and i'd rather just say it and be sure it got said than do extra reading.

no my hps has a 5x5x7 room for larger plants. since i have violator kush and sensi star i don't plan on downgrading the whole room for dwarf strains. plus i'm about to pop some pk, og and a few other kushes for the big room.

the veg room is on 24/7 now. i just thought 18/6 was better for the autos but leaving it on 24 would be better for the veg/moms. and as for the canopy overlapping i wouldnt let that happen. the lights would be level with each other and the dwarf would simply sit on something to make it taller and closer to the lights. plus the only bigger plants in there will be vegg plants since im using bonsai moms.

it would basically be setup like:

t5 2 foot 4 bulb system here ..................... around 200 watts cfl bloom here
------------------------------------------------- | ---------------
larger veg plants here | bonsai moms here | 2 dwarfs here

the bonsai moms would be kept next to the dwarfs so it should be easier to keep the canopy clear.

the whole room is about 5-6 feet deep so i have the room to do it. i would need to add another tornado pc fan to the room but i can do that. i'm basically wondering if thats enough light to grow some decent dwarfs and if the t5s are gonna put off too much veg light and make them stringey and lankey? and also what dwarfs to grow? the room is only about 2/12 feet wide so something thats not too bushy would be nice.
