Getting Started...In the attic. Help!

[j913jones]

Man Id grow hydro wit that small space. My closet is about hat size. I got an Emily Garden it holds exactly 6 plants. Only like 80 bucks U.S. It comes wit everything u need from start to finish. The light is what is goin to cost. If you grow cheap it will show. I spent 300 bucks on 400watt metal halide w/ reflector, ballest, sheild, and bulb. Good luck dude

I have to crawl through a small opening to get to it but once I get in, I can stand up and walk around. The area I have is 5 ft. x 3 ft. Now I'm wondering, would it be easier to grow organic or hydroponics? Also I'm looking for the cheapest growroom setup that can produce a good yield. This will be my first grow and I have no prior experience, but I do know mj. I'm thinking of Rating: 5

[attachment=o48277]this may sound stupid but if i use two 200 watt halide lights will that have the same effect as using one 400 watt halide light?

I would say the effect on your electric bill will be the same. The effect on your plants may be different. One 400w bulb shines from only one part of the room. upper centre no doubt. Therefore some of the leaves struggle for adequate light. 2 200 lights will spread the light more evenly depending on your placement of them.

Does that help?
