hey people im new to the forum and the whole growing thing so i need a little advice regarding my grow box that i built.

the box is 92cm wide, 110cm high, 74cm deep roughly how many plants could i fit in there.

i plan on using a 400w hps lamp with a cool tube.

all advice is welcome pictures of the box are below.

Topping is easy just read the FAQ its just the new growth coming out on top it has two big fan leaves one each side ..then two little leaves...then a center stem were its growing out to make a new batch of leaves you just cut that off the and leave the two little leaves and two big fan leaves......theres pics and every thing in the FAQ i was shaky about cutting my girl but now i chop the shit out of her to just keep her growing how i like so read up then do it and you will be fine ..


....as for the nutes...its all up to you man if you have a local hydro shop i would go talk to them every one is different and i believe all nutes will give you a little different in the harvest ............i buy alot of Hydro products and they always give me there basic three nute bottles to get me and then theres alot more nutes that go with it if you want to had them all......i personaly talked to my boys down at my hydro shop and they got me on some House and Garden theres a line of nutes for them to hahaha they all have there basic nutes then others you can ad to help you threw the grow.....so like i said man its up to you every thing will help you get threw the grow some might be better then others ....... and if your doing soil or hydro that could be another factor in the nutes ......so dont get stressed out if your really going to learn and do it right trust me man im still new to and it can be stress full just take a rip and remeber about the finish product it will all be worth it in the end......good luck bongsmilie

have you picked strains, if not go with short plants that are more on the indica side. the cool tube will allow you to use most of your height but still with pot included you are looking at only a 2 foot tall plant that can fit in there.

you could do 1 or 2 plants scrogged or have about 4-6 plants that have been topped and had farely short veg times

hey guys ive just ordered my grow lamp, ordered a 600w lumatek digital ballast and hps bulb with a cooltube. i just need to choose my seeds, as my box isn't om the large size i was hoping you guys could suggest a strain that stays small but produces a high yeild, also would it be possbile to use uncle bens topping method to get 4 main colas? also how plants could i fit in my box given the above dimensions?
thanks for all the help

o and i was thinking of maybe G13 Haze or White widow, are these any good for my box, would i get a good yield, i know it all depends on how long they veg for and all that but under ideal conditions if i had 6 plant with the height ive got could they yield around 6oz dry.
