Hello, this is my first post but I've been lurking for several months now. This is going to be my first grow, and I'm ordering the lighting from High Tech Garden Supply, specifically this.
http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=47981
It comes with both 400 watt MH and HPS bulbs, I'm curious to if they will be adequate for producing a maximum of 6 decently large plants (preferably). Here is a couple of pictures of the closet I will be growing in.
I'm going to order the lights this weekend and once I figure out what to grow (probably going to go with White Widow) I'll order the seeds from Highgrade-seeds.com
My questions are the following.
The walls are flat white, what should I do about the floors? Mylar?
Is 400 watts sufficient for this amount of space if I hang the light from the shelf?
Should I get co2 cartridges and release them into the room about once a week?
This grow isn't extremely secretive, I live alone in my own house and when by myself (quite often) I could leave the door open for ventilation, I'm curious to if ventilation will be a problem.
Also, any idea of what kind of heat issue I would have?
How can I make this setup most effective using this closet and those lights.
I will be growing in soil, I intend to plant 6 plants from seed, create a clone of each, flower the seedlings around 5 weeks and kill the males, along with corresponding clones. From the batch of ladies I will attain 7 clones, at that point I will grow 6 of them to around 4 feet using the MH and then switch to HPS for flowering, whilst maintaining the vegetative clone under a flouroescent.
Anyone see anything wrong with what I'm doing, or have any better way to go about it, please post, I want to be up in growing within 2 weeks, at which point I will document every step of the way in the proper sub forum.
P.S. If you have any seed suggestions from high grade, please do tell.
Thank you everyone for the help.
