Hey gang; Newbie grower here and Im humbly asking for your opinions and expertise. Im going to grow in my closet: 5.5ft x 4.5ft x 7.5ft. I want to use/buy Feminized Photoperiod from Attitude Seed Bank in the UK. ( I know it is not 100% guarantee that they will turn out to be Females) Im going to grow with soil: So... should i go Organic? or Chemical based? What brands are the best in your opinions? As for lighting, i was planning to start off with 3 plants using CFL's: starting with daylight (60-65000k) during vegetative state then down to 30000k for flowering. Was thinking of rigging up a set up so that i would used 4 bulbs per plant all around. 4x3plants= 12 bulbs. better yet, 5 bulbs. 15 all together. But then while doing research, why not go HID??? Considering my Closet Space, would it be wiser to go with 2 400watt HID (starting off with Metal Halide during seeding and vegg, then High Pressure Sodium for the flowering) and go from 3 to 6 plants? am i being too greedy? Or One 600watt? is it wise to combine HID with CFL's? HID on top of plants, while using same spectrum CFL on the mid section and lower part of plants??? So basically, I'm inquiring about Soil: Chemical or Organic (which brands?) Lights: CFL or HID Considering my Closet Space? what will you do? Also, should i use 5or 3 gallon containers? 5 to be on the safe side?
Ok... just ran across this Full Spectrum Plasma. What do you guys think? Pro-Grow 50 (Plasma) | Hydroponics Hut
Ok...Wait... what about LED's I basically want to spend no more that 300 bucks for my lighting rig. so given my closet space: 5.5ft x 4.5ft x 7.5ft and going with either Chemical or Organic Soil, and 300bucks, What Would Jesus Do?
