1. Check ebay or Craigslist
2. Go 600 HPS for flower, 400 MH for veg
3. If you can fit 6 pots.. grow 6 plants
4. Probably not.. Sativa's usually get pretty big and are not recommended for indoor growing in most cases

edit: Do some research on sativa dominant strains.. you may be able to find a few hybrids that are small enough to grow indoors... They do typically take quite a bit longer to flower as well.. so keep that in mind when choosing a strain.. sativas are usually 10-14 week flower.. inducas are usually 7 -10 week flower...

Good luck dude!

great info i was was really worried about what watt to choose
but craigslist is out of the question because i dont trust used so ebay is a half and half but what about amazon
and i have a friend said it was ok to order it to there address
so will ordering it get them red flaged or watch by the cops or will it fall back on me because its in my name

What about auto-flower sativa? :rasta: (curious) pr

[Mal420xl]

you can grow sativa indoors it just needs to be trained down.

i have a super lemon haze that i was going to turn into a mother plant
its 60 percent sativa so i think that will be a good sativa cross
i estimated on how much my grow crates prise to be around 600 bucks (mainly because i am buying some new power tools like sanders and a jig saw)
it is over my budget but i can wait another month if i have to and i will only be able to start with 1 box until like august
but i plan to do a cycle grow but i am also going to do a extensive MG product test (because not everyone can find pro mix or foxfarm and where i live shulz only carrys orchid mix and i heard that bark isnt good for cannabis potting soil)
also when i get it built i will post some pics because if everything goes right it will be a beutifull piece and still kind of cheaper than a grow tent and completely air tight (exept for the intake fan and the exaust fan)
i pretty much got all the info i need exept how to deliver it without "raising a flag"
so any suggestions will be appriciated!!!!

Well, sativas can only be run indoors in most of the world. I grow plenty of sativas indoors, Super Silver Haze, Neville's Haze, AK-47 sativa dominant phenos etc.

But do you grow them in a 3x5x7 foot tent? All im saying is for the size of the space.. a full blown sativa would likely be FAR too big.. and would drown out the rest of the plants you have in that tiny little room.. Not to mention I believe most of those plants you mentioned are sativa cross.. they are NOT full blown sativas! Sativas have been crossed with inducas and ruderalis strains mainly for the reason of getting smaller plants with faster flowering times which is more ideal for indoor growing.. Im not saying it cant be done.. Im just saying you will likely have much better luck going with smaller plants in such a small space...

this is the plan for air circulation and refection
*a bathroom fan for like 14 bucks at lowes, what it doese is sucks the air out of the room
...i was going to use the pressure from that to suck the air in from a hole conected to a piece of plastic that opens to let air in from presure (will that work with a air tight seel?)
*the carbon filter from walmart for 14 bucks
...this will be placed outside of the exaust dyrer hose (will this be strong enought to cover the smell of six 4.5ft tall budded plants?)
*for reflection
...after the inside of the box is sanded then painted with flat white paint then the crackes of the box will be calked and the floor will be coated with clear semi gloss polyurethane (but can i also paint it white before coating it?)
i would upload some pics but i cant find thr toold to do that with on here anymore

Order it to your friends address with a false name (I like using Fower Twontey ;-) They may flag the address.. but if your buddy has nothing going on.. he will have nothing to worry about...
