My very first grow room I grew christmas trees in buckets with lava rock and a drip system. I know alot of people that run there Co2 at about 900 ppm while in veg. I dont cause i dont veg that long. For what kinda of lights you should use I would say 1000 watt. I have never used nothing but. The power consumption I would use a equalizer. It reduces your power consumption. I have given more deatil what it does and where to find it earlier in this thread.

Great work growing in soil. You obviously have a great understanding of the plant itself and use that to your advantage.

I am a newbie on this site, but far from a newbie when it comes to growing. I have been growing for a few years using a drip system in buckets. I recently moved and I just finished rough-framing my new flower room. I am now convinced; I am going to build a sealed room.

I have a couple questions for you that I hope you dont mind answering. Do you have any experience growing bushes in buckets? Since I live in the states, I have to watch my plant counts and cant grow large numbers. I veg my plants for about 3-4wks which is a lot longer than you are vegging. In a sealed room environment, would I still wait till bloom to start with CO2 or would I start during veg?

My room is about 10' long x 6' wide x 7' high. I sold a few of my lights to grow buddies while i was moving from house to house since i didnt have any use for them. Now, i dont know what to buy. Should i go with 2 1k lights or 4 600w lights? I really want to use 3 1k lights but i need to run the AC, dehumidifier, and other things which will draw a good bit of power, and being in a 3 bedroom house in the states, i dont want to draw too much power.

Thanks for all the help. You are a wealth of knowledge and an inspiration to all. Keep up the good shows.
