[getsumkin]

ok iv ben on the site for 3 or 4 mo now...
so im goin to take the plug....my grow space is 31,5 x 31,5 x 63 its a homebox-s...my plan is to use 10-15 20-23watt cfl for veg and then 400watt hps to flower...i want todo about 10 or so....i have ff nuts and ffof soil..goina start them in 12oz plastic cups and then put in 2liter bottles.....ne advice i could use will help out alot...my plan is to veg for 2mo and then flower for 2mo...so what do you all think...

 

[StonerGrower]

You can veg however long you want to, however when it comes to flowering you have to wait untill just the right time to harvest. Do a search of the site for "the trichome method" and you should get some really good info.

 

[getsumkin]

yea ur rite...I need to wait till its ready...jus wondering if the setup needed mor cfl's or the hps would b enough the hps is red and blue with 55000 lumins...the cfl will b 20000 or so

 

[StonerGrower]

Depends on exactly how many plants you want to grow. The average I believe is 2000 lumens per square foot. Im my old house (havent got a growroom set up in this one yet) depending on which room I was growing in I kept and average of 3500 per square foot.

 

[getsumkin]

im still waitn on my things to cum should b here on the 9th....cant want to see how this tunrs out...ill post pic of setup wen it comes i and i put all in place....stay tuned...for my 1st real try at this... should b pretty nice ive done alot of reading so....
i got 20 seeds germ..i going to use the cup for 3 weeks and then put in 3gal grow bags...what do u think
i got a 400watt mh 38k lumen and 400watt hps 55k lumenfor ligthing and the grow space is 31,5 x 31,5 x 63...plants will b about 15''-20'' wen i start to flower

 

[StonerGrower]

Sounds fine to me, just remember the golden rule 1 seed per container. Alot of new growers like to put 2 or 3 or 10 in one pot. What size cups are you gonna use, the big red solo kind?

 

[getsumkin]

yea the 12-16 oz ones from wally world....for sure 1 per pot...not sure on how many i can fit in the grow area but ima try to get all of them in but as many i can wit the fans and other thing in with them but ..i think the bags r the way togo with the space

very common mistake amongst new growers, I for one made that mistake.

 

[getsumkin]

[Ms.Fox]

forgive me for askn this question....r u sayn the number per pot..

Yes. 1 plant per container. It's ok to have 20 plants as long as they're all in their own separate containers.

 

[Boss]

There are exceptions to that rule ;-)

Damn I love that avatar shot Ms. Fox

 

[Ms.Fox]

^^ Wow that's impressive! *Thanks* ;-)

 

[Damagoman]
