I have a new room above my garage I am working on soon. It is 12'x24' I was thinking of using a 6'x12' area to grow. Should I totally seperate the veg area from the flowering area by a wall. I have never grown before but just got my medical card and am gonna start soon. Would this area be big enough? I will be using 1 1000w HPS to start. Not sure of anything else LOL any help would be appreciated

with one light, I think 5x5, or even 4x4 would be good. And yes you definitely need to separate (light proof) between veg and flower. While ine veg they will be under 18-24 hours light, while flowering they will only need 12 hours light. If you let light get to your flowering girls they will herm on you.

Ok thats what I thought. So I will build to seperate areas. I guess my veg room could be smaller then. So is that how getting hermies happens. That will cause seeds in your buds correct? Lots to learn but it is fun

Yes, light leaks in flower can cause hermis, leading to seeds in your buds. There are other things that can cause hermis as well: stress, genetics, etc.

If you're a beginner like me you might want to look into grow tents, easy to setup and minimal light leaks

I found a grow tent on craigslist not too far from me for $75 I should probably get that till I decide what the hell I am gonna do with this space.
