this is about a month into my first grow. plants are from from seed, i've got 6 cfl's around the sides mixed color spectrum 4 6500K and 2 2700k and 6 T12 blubs above mixed with the same spectrums also an exhaust fan to the left. i've been able to keep it in the 70's in there most of the time but those are false walls in a walk in closet. the room is 5x4 the lowest point in the ceiling is 3' in the back and it slopes up to 7' at the front i figure if i want to grow any taller than 3' i can train the plants to grow along the slope. i've heard that you really dont get much yield if you use flourescents to flower so i was thinking about an hps but i'm super worried about the heat any advice? am i better off flooding the room with small plants and using flourescents through the entire plants life or going with 5-10 large plants and an hps?
first grow, how's it lookin? any advice?
