A short answer to your question would be that I use a 125w envirolite (a big cfl) to veg about 4 plants until they're ready to flower.

Good luck!

hey if you or anyone else reads this about how many lumens would you recomend? its a .5'x 5' by 5' its half a foot in 5 foot wide and five feet high, i was thinking 5 40w cfls

Seriously...? 6 inches deep by 5 feet long, by 5 feet tall? Is that right...? Perhaps that's enough to start seedlings or clones in smaller cups or pots...but 3 gallon pots are about 11 1/2 inches wide. Unless you use a window box shaped pot, they'll run out of rootspace quickly.

The maturing ladies will need 24/7 fresh air circulation, the heat exhausted out of the room, and elbow room to grow.

IMO, chains work better than ropes. More flexibility, heat resistant and no dry-rot to eventually worry about.

hey rusty, from what ive seen idk if it will happen to work with me this way but they get more of a 2d appearance growing that way? and i heard harvesting is easy, like they dont do as much growing on 2 sides but on the other 2 sides its focused on bigger buds? prolly gettin fed bullshit lol :P

[stinkybudz]

BTW let me rephrase those dimensions lol, its 6 inches IN 5 feet from floor to ceiling, and 5 feet left to right

I think some more thought should go into your future plans. Serious tweaking of the ladies without light-proofing, proper ventilation and fresh air circulation will inhibit growth dramatically.
I'm not saying it won't work in a room that small, but would recommend you look further into needs of the plant if you want success.
