Ok guys this will be my first grow but iv put some research into it :)
Setup Is;
Growlush Grow Tent .8 x .8 x .5m
200mm Bathroom style exhaust fan
Hydropak auto-pot kit
140mm desk fan inside
2x 16w daylight bulbs 6200k
2x 17w daylight bulbs 6200k
1x 34w midrang bulb 4000k
(Total Lumens 6000)
(Temp 78-82 - lights on)
Im growing 4 plants with Lst and im gonna flower after about 4-8weeks of veg.

Im using canna root booster for the first 2 weeks in the water then swap over to canna vega a+b for the rest of the veg period. Im going to continue using root booster via foilage spraying, until the roots take hold. For flower iv got canna flora a+b. Im using all canna products in the water tank for the auto-pot and am using as directed on the bottle.

Iv got some pics of the setup...
Any comments or suggestions would be great.
Also any hints on how many extra cfls i should add into the tent during flower for a decent yeild, keeping in mind i will be using all 2400k cool and warm white lights.

Thanks

thanks heaps guys, all up the setup cost me 350aus including all the lights, fans and tents. Iv been told that the auto-pot system might not work to well for what i need so im not sure how it will go.

Also lack of space isnt to much of an issue as im going to use lst to keep a nice low canopy of mean green.

Hey guys just found this lamp, its pretty cheap and i think im gonna grab it. Im just not sure it will suit my growtent as its only appx 1m high. Also is it possible to keep the canopy low enough to not be damaged, i will also be purchasing a cool tube to fit the bulb.

Any ideas of how i might deal with the heat or a good way to mount the lamp.

Pretty sure we're not allowed to post links here. May want to take it down and just upload a picture and type out the specs.

sorry mate, cant work out how to take the post down. Is there an admin that can do it.

Its pretty much just your standard hps with shade.

I have just purchased some lights and would like to know about how many nice plants i could grow under them. In total i now have :
VEG
2 x 16w fluro tubes 900lumens 6400k
2 x 17w fluro tubes 860lumens 6400k
2 x 23w compact fluros 1450lumens 6400k
1 x 23w compact fluro 1550lumens 2600k
FLOWER
Same as above but using only 2400 and 2600k warm white bulbs which have a slightly higher lumen rating than the daylight bulbs, so there will be a few bonus lumens thrown in.

Peace
