LOL.. lola, lola..

As for the original post... well, i know how it is when your questions don't get answered right away... But I've found the search function to be extremely helpful for those occasions.

Although I've only been a member for a month or so I've already started to realize that there is a pretty good chance (let me do the calculations here...) that there is a 94.33% chance that someone, somewhere, at some time has already asked, and gotten a response to the same exact question I have had.

That being said, your lights should be fine for 2 - 4 plants.. the real questions is: What medium are you going to use for growing? In a small space like that, i doubt you are going to go with ebb and flow.. so lets check that one off the list.

Next would be DWC. I find this useful in small spaces, and they can easily handle 2-4 plants in an 18 gal res. The downside to DWC is monitoring water temp, PPH and pH. You want to make sure you have enough air in the tank. And if you dont construct a drip feed, you may have to watch the moisture of the rockwool cubes and manually water them until the roots enter the water..

Next soil... I dont have much experience with soil and cannabis, normally i only grow fruits and veggies in soil. But you can't skimp just because its soil either... Don't just get the cheapest potting soil you can find at walmart because of bacteria and other nasties that can be mixed right in with it. Personally I HATE the word(s) Miracle-Grow... but the choice is yours..

Ventilation:
Do you have any? Do you want any? Do you need any?

Water:
Are you going to use tap water, distilled, reverse osmosis, city water?

Nutes:
Any idea's what you want to use? Can you get nutes locally?

Temp:
*See ventilation

Power Consumption:
Worried about that spinning wheel in the back of the house? Are you growing in a closet? Are you going to be running all this off extension cords?


You asked a pretty general question without providing any real information...
IMO THATS why you haven't gotten any responses.. I've found that very specific questions tend to get very specific answers..

Hope this helps.... MA
