Hey all, I'm a first time grower still setting up his grow "room".
I want to put one or two auto plants in my attic but I'm unsure about a couple of things (I looked around for info but nothing was very similar to my situation).
With a 300w cfl bulb, would it be better to enclose them in a white-painted closet or to place them directly under a skylight (I mean a few inches below it) with the bulb between the window and the plant?
The closet would be 3.2ft by 2.2ft and the skylight is 2.2ft by 3.4ft.
The skylight has around 1ft of white walls surrounding it which would serve as some limited enclosure. It is north facing, but if you are close to the glass you can actually see the sun for part of the morning and most of the afternoon.
Stealth is not an issue as you would have to be right above the skylight to see anything. Same with odor, not an issue.
Also, I ordered 2 seeds, 1 Northern Lights Auto and 1 Royal Cheese Auto. Is 300w enough to grow both of them at the same time? One would be in a 20L (~5gal) pot and the other one in a smaller one (maybe 3gal). Do you think it's possible to get around 3oz total with this very low budget setup?
So yea, I would like an expert's opinion on the matter Can't wait to post a journal of the grow
EDIT: I can post pics if needed to get a better idea of what i'm talking about.
