this is my grow room and am hoping to grow about 8 plants, with a 600w hps am gonna start seeds in small rockwool cubes once root comes out of cube put in a block of rockwool and in a tray of some sort off pebbles but what are they ? grow rocks i was going to feed about 6 times a day and let it drain off to drain is there a link to help me is this right
what does (If its the only light/place just give it a go!)mean i know the 600w hps is a bit too much (may do more plants yet) can anyone else help me i cant wait to start growing
That 600 watt light wont be to much in that area at all, as long as you can vent the heat out and fresh air in,,,the space looks to be about 2.5 - 3ft wide and 4ft long giving you 12 sq ft of grow area, 600watts divided by 12sq ft = 50watts per sq ft and that is exactly what you want to produce big buds, personally I would only put 4 plants under the 600 watt light, bigger buds per plant and alot less trimming and cutting in the end!! Good luck Budguy™
thanks mate at last some good advice i think i will do 4, it sounds a good idea i think i will start 8 seeds and see how many females turn out
Hey Man, NICE SLIPPERS!!! LOL j/k - Man I wish I had a nice spot cutout like that. I had to build a doghouse, and the attic of the doghouse is my grow room (only fits 4 plants and they cant get taller than three feet!!)
Budguy hit it perfectly....I have 3 400watters in exactly 4'x 2' on a single hood...2 HPS, 1MH...3 plants ,,it's all about ventilation,,,..and you may use more water....you will not be dissappointed in the 600w...
