What sort of wattage or size should I look for in the fluro's. Sorry for all the questions I just want everything to go smoothly and to have same quality bud to smoke.
hmmmmmm hmmmmm i had thoughts like this and still have, i am planning to do my second grow....anyway, did some thinking and found out the following conclusions....since you grow with bubbler (a hydroponics type if i am not mistaken) and your space is limited plus you have a BIG light(with no BIG fans and cooltube and etc. expensive equipment) and somehow limited head space do the following.....fill the entire growing space with plants....as many as your setup can handle......grow them for 3-4 weeks in vegetation using floros.....they should reach a foot in height by then.....hang the 1000 watt hps light on the top of the closet@ 6ft....to use it safely ,the distance between the light and the plants should not be less than 2 ft.....meaning that the top height of your plants in full maturity can be up to 3ft (i take that the setup uses one foot of vertical space from the start).....try to add a fan blowing air on the light and one blowing air on the plants....also open holes in the low parts of the closet for air intakes and on the upper parts for ventilation......with the hps light in there you will get 100 watts/sqft....i would expect HUGE buds to come out of a closet like this, only the heat is the problem......use hps and do a sea of green....
