Hey, Pharmacan. First off...sounds like a wicked grow. Nice wattage there. Couple things to consider. First, have u thought about light-movers? Not sure if you are at all worried about electricity usage, but putting a couple thousand watts on light tracks can be good in larger areas where you would normaly have to use more lights. Also, it will help you control your temps better.

Obviously, I'm assuming you've seen Tranoble's SEALED ROOM 3lbs thread, right? That is a good place to start, but since you said you'd prefer fewer large plants, then his method is not exactly idea. But good place to start to get info on your sealed room. I'm sure you know that the temps will have to be run a bit higher than normal (90-95*F) and you'll be using CO2.

Have you done any research into KBS growing? Take a look at Zandor's podcast "The Grow Report." Episodes 25-28 are a four part series discussing KBS growing, which is basically growing HUGE, 2-3lb plants indoors. This is where you should be headed. You may not want to go THAT big, but somewhere in between. I download the podcasts from the Dopefiend Network.

Fog - Thanks for the advice. I did read Tranoble's 3lb. sealed room and got some real good ideas from that. But if I had 200 plants growing, I'd be dead from a stress-related heart attack in less than a month and never get to enjoy my bud, so what's the good in that? LOL

I will definitely check out the podcasts you recommended. Thanks for the links!

I totally don't know or understand why the temp "needs" to be 90 - 95. Is that just a preferable temp when using CO2? Please explain.

Looking at a/c's, the charts provided say that 7,000btu is adequate to cool a 150 sq.ft. room - I have 130 sq.ft. I'm going to install a 30,000btu a/c unit. I'm no a/c whiz, but I would think that 30,000btu in that small area should allow me to keep the room at about any temp I want. Why then would I want it up to 95???? (That's a real question, btw, not an argument.)

The photo below shows the girls I'm building the home for. They've been vegging from clones for 3 weeks in the photo. When these girls are big enough, I'll take cuttings from them for clones and that's what I'll grow. The girls are a Master - Bubba cross and they seem to be a studly plant. The temps in my grow box creep into the mid 80's towards the end of the day and the plants don't seem to mind at all.

Again, thanks for the advice!
PharmaCan Reviewed by PharmaCan on . Which Growing Method to Use???? I'm building a grow room in my garage. It will be 10' x 13' x 9' ceiling. This will be a sealed room, exclusively for flowering. Right now I'm thinking 4 - 1000w HPS in cool tubes for lighting. I would like to have a continuous harvest, so I'm estimating that approx. 2/3 of the room will be for the big plants and 1/3 of the space for the young plants. I'm growing MMJ in California, so the number of plants is problematic. It would be better for me to have fewer large plants than a whole Rating: 5
