A short answer to your question would be that I use a 125w envirolite (a big cfl) to veg about 4 plants until they're ready to flower.

Good luck!

hey if you or anyone else reads this about how many lumens would you recomend? its a .5'x 5' by 5' its half a foot in 5 foot wide and five feet high, i was thinking 5 40w cfls

Seriously...? 6 inches deep by 5 feet long, by 5 feet tall? Is that right...? Perhaps that's enough to start seedlings or clones in smaller cups or pots...but 3 gallon pots are about 11 1/2 inches wide. Unless you use a window box shaped pot, they'll run out of rootspace quickly.

The maturing ladies will need 24/7 fresh air circulation, the heat exhausted out of the room, and elbow room to grow.

IMO, chains work better than ropes. More flexibility, heat resistant and no dry-rot to eventually worry about.

hey rusty, from what ive seen idk if it will happen to work with me this way but they get more of a 2d appearance growing that way? and i heard harvesting is easy, like they dont do as much growing on 2 sides but on the other 2 sides its focused on bigger buds? prolly gettin fed bullshit lol :P

[stinkybudz]

BTW let me rephrase those dimensions lol, its 6 inches IN 5 feet from floor to ceiling, and 5 feet left to right

I think some more thought should go into your future plans. Serious tweaking of the ladies without light-proofing, proper ventilation and fresh air circulation will inhibit growth dramatically.
I'm not saying it won't work in a room that small, but would recommend you look further into needs of the plant if you want success.

well ATM im kind of limited but im thinkin about moving down to the crawl space and growing possibly 5-10 plants down there with a fan connected to the sewer like on that cannabis faq page, its either that or the closet, ill try to get a centralfugel fan hooked up to that and just blast it all out into the sewer, they cant trace it back haha hehe :o i should actually work on the crawl space, clean it up and put like 54934 mouse traps in there... and actually move in there that be pretty fun :P course it will be a project, right now im just lookin for a bit of bud, but once i get 5-10 plants i wont be buying again :P,
