[smokenss]

hi i have a gorw space that is 3 1/2 ft high 5 ft long and 2 ft wide is this space to small for a 400w hps. plz help

[Mr. Clandestine]

Your space isn't too small for that light. You may need to induce flowering a little earlier than you would with a higher ceiling (approximately 1 1/2" or so), or you'll need to become very familiar with gradual training methods. Seeing as how you have plenty more horizontal space, LST might be a pretty good option. Either that, or topping may be in order. Though, I don't like to prune anything off of my tops...only leaves/stems that aren't receiving enough light & won't produce good buds. Then again, I have much more vertical space to work with...and I also supplement adequate side-lighting. Be especially careful if you start growing any sativa-dominants, though. They like to grow taller, as opposed to wider.

thanks for the info mate.:thumbsup:

My pleasure!

Ahh thats cuttin it close but it can be done. You have to remember the size of the pots 2. Get widder pots instead of taller. Is there ventalation? Your plants might get toasted if not and also get a short strain from nirvana, I suggest white rhino. Because you can never be that sure with bagseed on height.

Peace
