just make sure you have 50 watts per sq ft in your flowering area or better 60 -70 isnt overkill and put mylar on the walls so very little light is wasted.
have good ventilation so the lights are kept cool and can be kept close to the plants even with a 1000 watt light which provides good light penetraion it does lose effectiveness when getting over 2ft away from the light wich is why sog style of grow is probably most popular and effective as you are just flowering alot of smaller plants that will probably be in the 1 to 2 foot tall range at the end of flowering.
it doesnt take much light to maintain a few mother plants and if you choose to keep strains that have short flowering periods say 70 days or less there is no reason why you cant have 5 harvest a year and have an average of 1/4 to 1/2 lb per month.
bejay Reviewed by bejay on . New Room First Time (trying to do it right) Okay so I have a room that will be 10x10x8. My goal with this setup is to produce enough bud for me and my buddies with the occasional "business deal". So I have decided at first to do a soil grow. Money is not too much of an issue, I don't want to go overkill but I do no want to upgrade anytime soon. I am trying to grow the strongest in potency I can. I have about 1K to build this out with, perhaps more if needed but that is what I have allocated to start with. I am building this room Rating: 5
