So I'm new to gc, and I'm guessing I'm gunna piss a few people of by posting this but hey ho. Right, this is my first grow I'm currently building my grow box at 1.2 ft sq by 3.4 ft tall, I only plan on doing one plant first time round and I hope to use this grow as a base line and modify it as problems occur. So my problem is lighting, I've read countless threads but the more I read the harder it is to come to a conclusion specifically for my grow. My budget will allow for about 4 cfls and one t5. Would this be enough? Or too much? I'm not highly fussed about yield at this stage as I don't have too high hope for my first attempt. Any input is hugely welcome.
im thinking you will have to go with cfl s cause your box is only 14 inches by 14 inches if im reading that right so there isn't enuff room for a 2 ft t5 in there
I was hopeing to us cfls cause there cheaper but at a local store I can get some 1 ft t5s, or are these not the same. Thanks for the reply anyway much appreciated.
i would start with cfls and after you get some money you can build a box that is 2ft and throw a t5 in for veg
Ill go for cfls then I do intend on expanding I just didn't want to go larger scale and then realise I'm going wrong, thought it might be better to get a feel of the process first. Thanks for the input.
I tried going small with a 2x4' tent now I have 2 and I'm about to just fill up the room with 3 1000w. Way space that little it a tease. I think the best size to start is a 4x4 tent
