Hey everyone im new to these forums and like them alot!! ive already learned so much that i never knew. but i was wondering if anyone could please help me out? im completely new to growing and have never even tried, but i have a fairly nice collection of about 30 different blends on dank seeds that ive collected from some nice headies that ive gotten these past months and it sparked an idea in my head. why not grow these? haha but i dont have much room to spare i actually wanted to try growinging in a plastic trunk thats about 1 1/2 feet tall and about 5 feet wide. i was wondering if this was possible? to grow the plants in bushes rather then stalks? also is the trunk not high enough? because i plan on getting a 600 watt hps bulb but that is the 1 and only light source that i would get. is that bad? also would the plants be able to grow properly with the light source attacked to the side of the trunk rather than the top as long as i have reflecters everywhere? also how many could i grow? any help would be nice thanks

Sounds like a huge fire hazard...

really? crap cause i have it set up so the 1 side is cut open with 2 little desk fans blowing in. with an air purifier and an ionizer in the back left hand side of it. and my room temp is constantly 65. any chance of it working? :/ also i dont neccasarily need a 600 warr hps i dont think? i just need enough light for what i can fit in there. but idk how many plants i can fit :/

Cfls have the lowest amount of heat, but the yield is much lower...

dang theres no way i could use HPS? even if i was only growing 2-3 plants? and would it work if the light source was beside the plants not above?

You could keep asking around for some more advice, but I hear about people having heat problems with an HPS even in a closet.. heat was one of the huge reasons I went with cfls...

I'd imagine the plants would grow towards the light and that kinda light would burn the babies..

dang :/ well i do have 2 18 watt each flourecent lamp hood for my fish tank would those do well for the babies? cause the only light i can get is HPS :/

How can HPS be the only lights you could get? I got my cfls at walmart...LOL.. The 2 18 watt would prolly help start seedlings but that would be about it..

oh really? damn well haha idk i dont know anything about growing lol. what wattage of cfls would i need and how much do you think it would cost? also im no really concerned about the yeild as long as i get around 1-2 ounces atleast per plant. and im mainly conserned about quality. i have dank seeds but are cfls good for produceing dank weed?

If you're looking for 1-2 oz AT LEAST per plant you'd have to go HPS or MH.. cfls are usually around the 1/2 oz region, going up with the more lights u have.. you get what you pay for I guess... but not all of us can drop 150+ on lights alone..

My VERY first grow.. in the closet, under cfls, skunk bagseed.
I've got 42 watt cfls in my grow right now, they're like 8 something per bulb. If you have any questions about my set up thus far feel free to pm me..
