closet grow lighting question input appreciated

[bigtopsfinn]

topps your a good mad sir i have read all your grow logs and plan to start a SCROG with that light set up here soon. do you think i can run 3 plants in a 20"w,40"L 60"h space? i plan to put them in individual 5gal buckets after veg and mount a screen to fit the entire space 10-12in from my lights.

That's pretty much like my space now, plus one plant... I'd say go for it as long as the 5 gals fit. As long as you have the side lighting it should be pretty good.

can i use fox farms ocean forest throughout clone/veg/flower? and just add nutes to an auto-water system?

FFOF should be ok, not sure for clones though. Although I have seen a lot of people having ph problems with it, probably from grower error. One way to avoid the ph drop in peat based soil is to repot with fresh soil several times, with the last time being a couple weeks into flower.

Have you thought about coco? That might be better for an auto-water system. :twocents:

My closet is 20"w, 41"L, 60"H I would like to do a SCROG with 2-3 plants using: -10 mounted 23w cfls providing roughly 10,700lumens and a 150w HPS fixture adding another 14,00lumens giving me 4500 lumens per sq ft. can i combine cfl/hps during the flowering stage? I will be vegging in another area so will this light flower three plants in my Rating: 5
