mini grow

ok so i have a samll 2 or 2 and a half foot tall cubbord that i want to grow 1 small plant in i started germinating 2 seeds i have a 42 (150)watt cfl and 2 25 watt mini tubes and may add another cfl for flowering i have a small amout of indoor experience and plenty of experience with outdoor i plan to top and possibly lst the female or if they are both females the better looking one i was wondering if anyone had any tips with small and confined grows other than the obvious thing like heat and my lack of propper lighting(dad broke all my sodium bulbs after trying to get something out of the old celler in the basement and finding my last ladies) anything would be appreciated im sure alot of you know more than me

youll need more lights and you shud know bout the soil and nutes and stuff since you know bout growing outside so more light and paint the inside white for reflection or maybe mylar and make sure you have a fan or ventalation in there and use a timer for the light timing
hope all tht helps

rememver more light oh and you can use a light splitter so you can have 2 bulbs or more in 1 socket

If you remote ballast one of these you can make it work in that tiny space and growth would fucking explode:

$20 for a 150w hps, nothing else on the planet will give you 15k lumens at this price even with shipping.
That's many times the light you have now, actually in your space that's the ideal amount of light.


If you can switch to a bigger cabinet twice that size you could fit two of those.

You can grow as many plants as you like, as in this example:

If you use bigger pots it's easier though, you won't have to water every day late in flowering, but it's up to you...

wut i am actually doing rite now is that i have 2 plants that are about 5-6" tall buht they dont seem 2 be making much groth ive had them for about 2 and a half months now and the stem jus simply stop'd growing i see a new set of leaves erry weed or so. buht i recently found out once they start 2 flower they grow spontaniously. buht my plants have also been on a window sill they look very healthy buht i didnt see much change happening any more.
today wuz actually the first day i shortend the time of sun they got from 17 to 16 for 2 days then 15 hours for 2 days then 14 hours for 2 days and then 13 hours for 2 days and eventually 12 hours for 2 months and while i am waiting for the 12\12 mark i am going 2 be really looking at the sex of the plants... by the way one plant looks exactly the same the only problem is its smaller in every way buht yet still healthy and both have very sturdy stems.
