I have some space left over in my house that I would like to make into a little grow space. Would 13ft width by 6 1/2 ft space. Is it enough space...? I thinking of nice little setup for like 4 or 5 plants.

For nutes go organic definatly. If you dont want to buy a meter just use 20% of the recommended dose on the instructions that all they need. For soil get promix or farfred at your local nursery in bails. If you can not get it get peatmoss which is easy to find and mix with 15% soil. For lights I would get a MH and a track would be real nice. I grow small single cola plants that finish at 12 inches and take up 7.5inches squared producing 8 dry grams each. You could fit tons of them little buggers in there. You should make a mother or two for clones.

KARMA...

did you just suggest an MH light?

If you are on budget. and actually even if you are not on budget.. using HPS is the way to go.....

I stand my ground... : )

A MH has less lumens then a HPS for sure yet in regards to par watts a MH is superior.

Shes got a better spectrum too.

I usually sit, standing makes me dizzy.

Metal Halide for flowering? Uhm, no? Also, if you wanted to substitute for the UVB radiation the HPS is lacking, go with a 10% UVB fluorescent Reptisun light in unison with the HPS. Ed Rosenthal even mentions something to this effect on Cannabis Culture's site.

For flowering I use one MH and one HPS and rotate the plants. Flower under a HPS in one room and under a MH in another they both have more then suffiecent yellow light to flower with. Try it out your self.

Most of the time you should listen to Gnome just so you know this time I think we are both right.
