So summer is rolling around, giving me a lot of time to make a grow room. I'll be using a rubbermaid, 6 cfl's, 6 plants(I hope!), a carbon filter, and a fan. I know to use chip bags for liner in the rubbermaid, and I know how to wire everything.

My question is, with 6 plants and 6 lights, what should the wattage be for the early part of the grow?

Also, with the limited grow room, how much pot do you think I could get?

Thanks!

how are the temps in there with all six lights on?.Wut are u using two rubber maids,one on top of the other?(gotta get pix)Wut r u going to use for ventilation.

This kinda gunna be a micro grow with in this space if ur in soil.If u got some expirence thow,i would suggest turning the bottom rubber maid into a DWC.And stacking it 3 rubber maids tall.

I could get more lights.

And I will be trying to find a fan soon. I will have a carbon filter on it though...

yea u could switch em all to 42 watters eventually when the plants need it.But either then that its hard to get much more light in there cuz of heat issues.So some ppl turn the bottom rubbermaid into a DWC to help compensate for lack of light.I would stack the rubber maids 3 high if i where u

ok well if ur using just 1 rubbermaid, what size do you want to use? I would suggest a really tall 22gal or 32gal. You can just LST them like crazy if ya want, make some corn rows =D

Guys check this I haven't started running it yet but I will be picking up the lights for it tommorow and then its time for the seeds to hit the dirt. They have the really long ones at walmart for like 14.00 a peice I just went with the smaller one. And no hydro I'm up in an attic and really don't feel like toting the res down once a week to change the water. Hope you like.
