Midwest US. I am a soil grower with various 10x10 spaces. The flower rooms are covered by 1000w hps light and the veg rooms are on the same diet but with mh. In this case though(grwoing for a mom and all rooms flowering or cloning) I will setup whatever is needed for a good comp show. I cracked all 10 and so far 8 have shown through soil. I have this in a seperate germinating space below my staircase in a small room. I only use this space for germing as my air system isn't needed and CO2 isnt a priority. When they are this small I keep a 400w mh 4' above them and wait for more leaves to show. Seeing as you have a smaller garden yourself, I would be willing to keep the snows below the staircase for their life cycle. Level out the feild a little. How about this. I will take a pic of the future girls tonight and it will my baseline. You go all out under CFL with good soil and nutes and whatnot and I run MH/HPS and use MG soil and yeast co2. We can test to see if lights can beat out nutes on a small scale. Or we could go organic v. nutes. Let others know where the money should be spent starting out.
