hey im doc. greenthumb and this is my idea of what im doing what materials i will be buying and i have and the space i will add pics and REP+ is awarded for ANY help

MATERIALS I HAVE:
  • hourly timer with one outlite
  • ph pool tester
  • i HAD 3 26w 1750lumen cfls and one broke so i have 2 26w 1750lumen 2700k i believe doesnt say on the box
  • a ziplock bag of marical gro that i got off my friend and i will be getting more later if needed
  • white printing paper(i used foil until i found out i didnt have enough and im too bored and broke to buy another packand i heard the white printing paper is better then the foil becuz it doesnt make hot spots so i have to tear it down still and place ONLY white printing paper
  • i have 3 light fixtures and one dual but the dual is too big for the box i belive and i will use it as a backup
  • a normal 6 outlite power bar
  • a used and washd water sprayer
  • chains and o hooks to use for the light bulbs to hold them up becuz i decided that placing the pots of soil and plants or whatever ontop of other tuppaware and dvd and cd cases to raise them 2-3" from the bulbs
  • a normal garbage bag stapled and folded to the right size and i will be using tacs to place it in front of the cabnit door to block out light a.k.a light leaks
MATERIALS I NEED OR WILL BUY:
  • actavated carbon
  • a small fan aproxx. 6" in hight and length
  • i dont need to buy but i can obtain some all perpose plant fertilizer nbut it is marical gro like my soil and the npk is 15-10-10 or something

MORE INFORMATION ON MY PLAN AND THE PART I NEED HELP:

i will be using th egarbage bag as a light leak protector, i need to no if the 2 26w 2700k 1750lumen output will be enough to get 5 plants into sex and then eliminate about 2 or 3 and keep 2-3 for buding with male or not becuz i will be kepping the pollen from the males for later and i heard if u keep male pollen and pollenate the hermies with the male pollen then they produce female seeds? or is it when u take the hermie pollen and use it on a female? the seeds are bag seed off my friend so they shouldnt be too bad and i need to know will thos lights be good for just sexing them? im doing a 12/12 from seed for them so they should sex after the first month? the grow space is about 16" tall 9" wide and 15" deep with nothing in it but i am lsting all of them BEFORE they reach sex also the lights and chains make about 13" of grow room for the plants is that good enough for lsting majorly? and only 2 plants? will i need more light i have only a total of 1750+1750=3500 lumens is that enough? becuz i dont want to spend another $10 on 3 more when i can only fit about 3 or 4 MAX and with a fire hazard so is it enough? or would it make it wayyyy better if i add one 13w 800lumen 2700k light bulb? so ill have 4300 lumens? will 3500lumens make it just to get 5-10 plants to sex? or how many would fit in it til sex? im think more of five but the more the merrier so help me out and i will send u rep+ also i heard 5000-10000lumens is good for a normal sized plant which is like 3-5 ft tall but mine will be only 12-14" max will those lights with only 3500 lumens be enough?

DOC.

It should work. I have a small Stealthy little grow space and you shouldn't have any problems. The only problem I am having is the smell. I made a little carbon Scrubber seemed to work good for a little while. I'll see if I can Post some pictures of my operation.
I'm growing a Hybrid, Its MasterLow...Master Kush X Lowryder. I don't think they even make it anymore I have a large stock of Seeds left over.

I have a small space 7.5 inches X 11.5 inches X 24 inches. I have 2 100w CFL's in Daylight Color. I would like to change them out to 3500K lights for flowering but I would need 4 and I just don't have the room. I have a Drip System and light timers for watering and 18/6 lighting. They are a Hybrid Master Kush X Lowryder= Masterlow. I don't think they even produce this train anymore but I have about a billion seeds, because I love it. But I tryed several and this is the best high. They don't speek to highly of lowryder or others like it for THC, but this one rocks..it's good for me. I'm going to try a some Northern lights Fem seed that I have on my next Grow.

thats good but would only 2 26w 1750- lumen each work to bud 2-3 plants? wha if i add 2 13w ones so i have 1750 x 2 lumens and 800 x 2 lumens will that work? im doing 12/12 from seed and one of my 26w cfls broke

The sun once it hits the ground is around 10,000 lumens...with 2 26w 1750lumens thats 52w 3500lumens...might be ok for sprouting but i would definatly look into gettin some more lights! check out my thread...ive got one cfl that puts out almost 3 times the power as your whole room.

Just keep going. You'll figure it out. Like I said before, keep reading and talking to these guy's and you'll figure it out. Opinions are like Assholes..everybody has one. There is lots of info, always get a second opinion. I once read on a thread somewhere that you should have 100watts of light per square
