Well I started out hoping to build some hydroponics or aeroponics set and have decided to not go that route. Right now I have four plants from bagseed that are in 11 liter pots. They are about a week old and not too big. I have a drip system set up that drips for 15 minutes(at 1gph) a day. I live in Oregon so its still drizzly and not too hot. Eventually once i get the cash I plan on moving them into a shed. The shed is about 8'x8' and about 6' tall. I was going to get a 400w HPS and grow them with a scrog setup and may add a few plants in a bit. Well I was just wondering what you guys think about:

1. Are the pots big enough?
2. Will the plants do fine going from outdoors to indoors?
3. What about the size of the light?

Anything helps thanks guys

Well, the plant should be ok going from outside to inside, thats what some people do to flower them.

The posts need to be 3 - 5 gallons, then you neeed never worry about root probs, just make sure theres plenty of drainage.

Lights depends on how many plants you want to grow.

1000 would be too much, so we can count that out.

I'd say anything from two 250 watters, a 400 watt, or even maybe one 600 watt HPS.

I'd say if you can get MH and HPS, so you got the MH for veg with its blue spectrum, and the HPS for flower with its red spectrum.

If you cant get both then no need to worry, id still go with the HPS for veg and flower.
