    This is in a walk in closet but im only using about a 4ftx3ft area about 6ft highand plan on growin 4 plants. This is my second time tryin this, my first time was when i was like 14 and got it about 2 ft high just no flowering....i didnt read enough but this time im ready or at least better prepared

    250w HPS system
    Foxfarm bug off spray
    foxfarm big grow qt
    foxfarm tigerbloom qt
    digital Ph tester
    digital 24 hours timer
    Ventilation fan
    Soil
    Water sprayer
    100% feminized white widow
    10 3 gallon plastic pots (only using 4)
    35 pint dehumidifier
    30 pint humidifier
    oscillating fan
    heater (for winters if nessecary)
    thermometer
    hygrometer
    heating pad (from when i had snakes....still debating if i should use it)
    2 Ionic air purifiers (one for the closet, one for the room)
    PH up/down dry gallon

    going for some soil and nutrients tomorrow.....am i missing anything?

    what should my yield be under optimum conditions minus trimming?

    I would ditch the foil and paint the walls with flat white paint or get some mylar. Also make sure your pots have alot of drainage. You might want some fluorescent's for young plants and to keep em closer too. You should be able to pull 1/2 to 1 gram per watt if you do everything right I think. Ive seen plants yield anywhere from a 1/4oz to over a lb, it all depends on the conditions.. Hydro grows faster and usually yields more so you might want to go that route. Best of luck to ya!

    Yeah ditch the foil, its no use at all, in my opinion unless the walls are black just any old paint is no worse than foil, I had foil up at first and then put some black & white sheeting up and the difference is amazing.

    Yeilds are all down to the strain you choose, but under good conditions with a good strain it can be from 250g a square metre to 600g+ a square metre

    so i should take down the foil? i thought it was good....the wall color i have now is a tad bit off white......would that still work good?

    As for the paint, I would paint it with "White Matte" paint. If you haven't seen the google video on marijuana set up, here it is. Hope this helps.

    Gluck

    Foil makes hot spots, if you must use that be sure and use the least shiny side out. Off white or anything thats not too dark will probably work better. I agree go with exterior one coat in matte/flat white.

    hmm.....i think ill just use the little off white for this time and see how it works......than next time plant it flat white and see if theres a difference......

    besides that, everything looks like a go?

    all the little things like soil, nutrients, imma go get tomorrow most likely.......if anyones curious, i spent about 400-500 on this setup after i get the nutrients and all that

    You should be good to go. Be sure and get a ph test kit and keep an eye on that if you use alot of nutrients. Also be sure and check the ph on tap water if you use that and adjust accordingly.
    Hope all goes well..:smoking:

    Sounds like your willing to get it right, so get the mylar, it will be money well spent. Otherwise looking good.

    i just did my final calculations on how much i spent so far on the setup above......came out to 396.65 cents so far........gotta love ebay

    ok i wanna grow 5 plants instead of 4........on a 250watt hps is this possible? the dimensions are still the same......4ftx3ftx 6ft high........i saw a thread that had a formula on how to do the calculations but after a hour of searching, i cant find it.
