I'm going to have a pretty decent place to setup, probablym 5x5x8 for now. I need help with the lighting to use for best yield. and help with everything else, I wanna do this one right this time instead of being hillbilly about it. I'm looking for 4 to 5 plants, If you could provide links to lights and such that would be great, I have soil nutes etc.
 
I would do a dimmable digital ballast. 3 foot by 5 foot scrog over an ebb flow table. Veg under 400 mh then switch to 600 hps for flower. Then you have a little space left for a bucket cloner. And perhaps an aero tub for beginning veg. Both of these can be under a narrow 2 or 4 bulb ho t5's.

The latter 2-3 weeks of growing and training will happen in the scrog table. Before you flip
to 12/12 you will make clones in the bucket. Then transfer them to small net pots and veg in the aero tub. After harvest you transfer to larger net pots in the table and the cycle starts again.

I have a very similar setup but my scrog is 3.5 x 7 with 2 hoods. If you can cool your lights with an external air source you should be able to keep temps perfect with a small space heater when the lights are off. A bottle of co2 will also last a long time if you decide to invest the 4-5 hundred to add that on.

Take a peek and my grow journal for my similar set up.
 
I use the Nextgen 400/600 switchable and love it. My cab is only 2x3 so I only use the 400. I got mine from Discount Hydro.

Here's the ballast/hood: http://www.discount-hydro.com/productdisp.php?navid=57&pid=660

And where I got my fan, I was going for the brand, but probably should have just bought one of DH's to save on shipping: http://www.hvacquick.com/products/r...Remote-Fans-for-Bath/SP-TD-Series-Inline-Fans


I framed up my box with 2x2's and skinned it with plywood. All in all, I spent like $1200, but more than made up for it on the first run!
 
Well the 4 plants isn't going to work until I know I can take care of one.. So to begin would a 150 MH/HPS switchable bulb would for the lighting on just 1 plant.. I'm going to get nutes also, I wanna grow it super huge and to yield heavy. ( just going to use bagseed at first ) what banks do you recommend?
 
they all do the job just some are better at customer service htan others. Atitude is 10/10 in orders made and received. Single seed centre is also 8/8...so they both do me well...
thats what she said
 
Thanks for the banks, Well I friend just dropped off some lowrider seeds so they will be starting in a cloth tonight.. only trying 2 to start with.
