that a pretty narrow box. i would do 1 plant, and do some LST but not all 4 ways, i would have it so you get 3 or 4 main colas in the shape of a diamond to , or all line up in a straight line. make sure you get some hooks from above to hang you lights from as the cardboard might not hold up the weight of the lights and a fan. figure out your soil mixture, if you dont buy potting soil, but also if you but potting soil dont give nutrients for quite a while. most likely til you go into Vegetative

Dementions now up. As for CFL's That shade has 2 26W (100W Equive) bulbs running. I have 2 spare replacements for them also. Trying to find an old ghetto dual light I made awhile back but I believe I trashed it. As for genetics. I have 2 Skunk #1 left from nirvana I want to plant, Also have about 25 bag seed from some mids. I want to plant 4-8 to account for losses since I have a bad habit of jumping the gun and killing plants.

Also I was wondering: Anyone have an idea of how big of a factor PH plays? My tap comes out at 7.6+ and my tank water stays around 7.9. So I was basically wondering if using the tank water would be worth it.

As for dirt, Im open to any and all suggestions (Things readily available at Lowes/Wal-Mart only please.)

And with plant numbers. I pretty much have no problem with chopping one or two to make room as I go. I just want some insurance right now.

Edit: Dont reserve them. I wasnt trying to be rude.

Also: I read that you could use wrapping paper as your white base on your walls? Anyone have any input?

I just use bottled water. Its only like 3$ for a 24 pack and its pH balenced. Right at 7 all the time

then I use a nute that is organic and is pH balenced. So I never have to worry about that crap! : )

ya you can plant a couple and go straight into flowering at seed. Then pull the males or weakist female : )

With that small of a box your gonna want to go 12/12 from seed or LST. Only problem with not doing 12/12 from seed is you might be LSTing a male. Just wasting your time. at least with the 12/12 you wont have to LST it will only be about 3.5 feet tall.

Anyway, Just my 2 cents : )
