I used to grow 8 plants in that size cabinet for years, just down-sizing to 6, then 4, in last couple of grows ... will go back to 6 next time, I have available space with just the 4 ... :smokin:

I agree with what he disagreed with. (sorry, stoned) Six is ideal!

yeah i bet i could fit 6 or even 8 in there but i dont really need that many... all the stuff left over will get stale and dry. i would rather have a constant supply of one or two plants producing fresh buds.

What are you yielding with your 150. How many plants? Scrog? LST? Cab? if so what size?

hey blaze i have a question? ive been looking all over for the cool white cfl's and no one seems to have them.. or even have room for them in the stores.i was just wondering where u got yours? thanx again man .. uve been a big help!

walmart. I'm pretty sure the package said sunlight bulb (lights of America). Look at the back of the package for the kelvin. I think there 5700k or 6700k. Can't remember. Mine are 25 watters.

ok cool. i bought a couple of 42 watters today but they were soft white. which produces a more yellowish color ... prolly good for budding but i need some cool whites too... once again thanx alot man

be careful not to get the 4200k cool whites, you want something thats at least 5000k and up.

ok cool thanx cactus..but the cfls are only gonna be suplimental to a250 mh if that makes a difference..

also i was lookin at nutes today and is potash the same thing as potassium?cuz i couldnt find anything that said potasium on it... but there was one nute with only a little bit of potasium nitrate... what nute should be used for the floweing thats high in potasium
