The lighting will be more than sufficient, but it's not that good to use HPS in veg state.. Get some CFL, then the plants wont stretch that much and will focus on the roots in veg..

I don't know about the soil (very new at growing) you'll just have to wait for Zandor or someone on that one.

225$ isn't that much, mine costerd 150 £... Isn't that more?

But seriously, get some CFL, or a fluor tube.. That will make a hell of alot of difference in the first stage.. If you have the money, get A MH (Metal Halide)..

And a good fertilizer..!

Cheers, And happy growing!!:dance:
Powder Puff Reviewed by Powder Puff on . Any Criticisms, Problems Hey, just postin so someone could let me know if anythin wrong with my grow setup etc. This is my first grow, im groing in a wardrobe, around 5 ft 6' tall, 2ft deep and 3ft5' wide. Planning to grow 3 plants under 400w HPS light, is that sufficient, is that the best light to use, can i grow more than 3 plants under that? Will wardrobe height be an issue? I have one ventilation fan above fan for ventilation, do i need a normal fan to blow on the plats?, if so does the fan need to be inside Rating: 5
