Lowryder 2, 70w hps, 30w led, 20w cfl

[Firemansam606]

OK, this is my first post here! Woo!
I've read rather a lot on the forums here for the past week, getting myself back up to speed since I've been out the loop for a while.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed here it's a fantastic resource.

I thought this might help me log what I do and when I do it plus seek help if any issue arises. I've grown a few times before but only under hps and with a lot more space than I have now.

My grow room is very limited. I only have 3ft x 2ft x 19in. Inside this I will have 2 Lowryder 2s sharing a 70w hps which can not sit above them , two 15w led lights with an 18% blue to 82% red configuration, and a single 20w cfl 6500k for veg and swampping to a 2700k for flower :P. I will have 2 mains powered 80mm fans, one for intake one for exhaust and also a 12" fan for circulation inside the box.

Does anyone have any experience growing Lowryder 2s with a similar lumen total? I work mine out to be something around 6000/hps, 1200/cfl, and I'm unsure of led lumen count? 400 I think... If I've worked this out correctly from something SnSstealth said, his 300w leds came to 4-5k so 10% of that right? Well I know that probably doesn't work out quite so simply lol. So yeah I'm thinking I'm around 8000 lumens per sq ft.

I'd be more than happy with an oz per plant.

Any input is most welcome. Thanks
Oscar Mike

OK boys and girls. Received my seeds today I also done a little shopping, I bought myself a thermal cut off power extension to reach the grow box along with some degradable fibre pots for planting in and a propagator to give the the young seedlings some protection from the heat of the lights and keep them in a moist atmosphere. I also bought some flowering food, I know this is not to be used until the plant is well established. Can anyone suggest the earliest I should start to feed Lowryder 2s?

I'm hoping to get my hands on the led lights and the two small fans over the weekend and get the grow underway before the start of next week.

Am I correct that to post attachments I need to make at least 50 posts?

[XmaxxX]

dunno how many posts but not 50 for sure! ive 47 posts and i can post pics in my log

Hope that worked... Took this picture last night, planted the seeds in those pots about 20 minutes ago, hoping for some signs of life by next week.

Concidering upgrading the 20w cfl to at least 60w if not more depending on cost, I will be visiting the hydro shop at the next opertunity

I'm so excited!
