I have got a 200watt flower envirolite and a 125 watt veg envirolite with reflector, 3 pc fans, 1 digital timer, small plant pots and quite big plant pots, a thermometer, ph test kit, a water bottle sprayer and put the walls in silver kitchen foil.
Now i was wondering what else i would need to grow in some Rockwool Cubes i am going to order canna aqua a&b fertilizers 4 the grow and bloom stage.
The grow room is in my bedroom, so i had to make it 5.5 foot tall, 2.1 foot in lengh and 2 foot in width.
or would it be easier 4 me to grow in some descent soil?
cheers :)

if your experienced, hydro is kool. but if your the newbie kind, try soil. you bought all this anyway so go for it!

how u planning to run those 3 pc fans? using a computer psu? or...
mellows right. 1st grow try organic. make sure you get decent soil. the canna range of soil is well worth the premium

Im goin to run the pc fans by a power lead going into the seperate big boxed fan with 2 little cpu fans on top of the big metal boxed 1, yeah i was thinking of gettin that canna organic soil mix with the canna terra fertilizers, seem good just pricey to buy. cheers.

the aluminum foil walls are useless....that's mylar you see in pictures (that really reflective stuff)...tin foil hardly even reflects any light...you'd be better off getting some white paint and painting the walls..

How many plants do u reckon i'll be able to grow in the space of, 5.5 foot tall, 2.1 foot in lengh and 2 foot in width? cheers again for lookin and answerin.

I'm gonna say do 4 plants at a time, to give space, roughly 1 square foot per plant...and even then their leaves may touch a little, but i don't think it'll matter...you're working with 4 square feet there, and you want about 30 or 40 watts of light per square foot, so according to my calculations you need roughly 120 to 160 watts of light for an optimal light scenario...though lumens is more accurate than watts since it is an actual measure of light intensity and not power output...but 140 watts of light should do you just fine if you use flourescents...don't ask me about any hps or mh...all i know beyond flourescents is DO NOT USE halogen....

4 plants seems right. If you plan on doing hydro it way be a bit tricky to find a 2X2 resevoir (and if you want 2.1X2 forget it) I am sure there are 2 foot square containers, just never seen them, may have to mold your own container, or maybe a circle with a 2 foot diameter, but then only 3 or 2 plants. With this little room and so few plants I would suggest using clones or femized seeds so you get all females with buds, and no dud men. Since you are new to growing, if you do indeed get clones, get rooted clones so you don't have to worry about them not rooting. seeds are easier to find and can be boughten off the internet. For a small space you will want a 50/50 indica sativa plant because it will not strech like a sativa and not be as bushy as an indica.
Of course you way go down the road with soil, since you will most likely use a round container, you would have to grow 3 only. I would get a 5 gallon pot, they have a diameter a little under 2 feet, and with that size you grow 3 evenly spaced plants. I know this for a fact as I have done more in less and gotten 3 ounces a plant. 4 in a 3 gallon, it can be done, but dont do it this dense as a newbie as it was a bit hard to keep them healthy and nice, but it was done well. So don't lissen to the thought that plants CANNOT be grown 2 or 3 per pot, but 1 is indeed ideal :)

First pf all I have go to say cheers to every 1 who has helped me out, secondly i have just got a VEG 125watt envirolite delivered with the E40 fitting and the plug, but i got no reflector for it, is there anything that will be the same as a reflector and hold it up srong, if not is there any way i can still use it without a reflector?
Cheers again for lookin and answering my questions, cheers.
