i have a few questions on indoor and out door growing so please help me if you can ok so if i want to grow 4 plants in a small closet what all am i going to need for a good setup, and if you could help me keep it under 100 bucks cause i want to build 2 of them and how well do fluros work for growing? what bulbs are the best for fluro growing and what is a good strain for outdoor gardens? i was thinking of doing it in patches of 6 plants and weeding out the males or weakest so i could grow about3 to flower
dude, these things can all be answered by using the search button. it's all basic common knowledge and if your too lazy to even get yourself started, you'll never make it through one full grow. looking up the answers to what you want to know is called research and everyone has to do it.
posted before i did a search so let me rephrase my questions if i were to grow 4 plants on an ebb and flow dro system under a 125 watt hps light would it be a decent setup or would the light need a more powerful light? thats really all i need i found the weed farmer.com and a couple of dvds that awnsered all thge questions but how much power i need in a light
General consensus on GC is around 100 watts per plant, although more is always better. So 125 watts for 4 plants...not exactly optomized, get the 400watt HPS if you have the ventilation to keep it cool, for the 4 plants. BUT unless you have 4 femanized seeds/4 female clones, you will probably not end up with 4 female plants, so think ahead, you may not want a 400 watt system. BTW, n00b here, I done my readin though!!!
good. sorry, i wasn't trying to be a dick, it's just there are too many people who don't want to lift a finger as far as reasearch goes, and repetetive threads take up alot of space on grasscitys server. imho, for four plants you'll want to go no smaller than a 250w hid. i had trouble keeping three plants under a 250w. if you utilize maybe a sog or scrog it can be done. if you can vent the heat, just buy a 400w because the difference in price is negligible.
do you have any good links to a hps light5 and bulb? how much electricity will that light use about the same as a tv??
www.htgsupply.com Well I have a pretty good PC at home...it has a 400 watt Power supply and runs 24/7. The 400 watt HPS will be a similar power consumption...yes TV like. The cost will be neglible, maybe 20$...somone else may know better about the cost of the power increase. No fear of looking suspicious though if thats your worry!
