Decent for first time?

[Gentlemencorpse]

I should have about $500-700 to spend on lights for my next grow. I have already ordered my seeds. Like I stated before all autos.
Victory seeds-
Heaven
Blow dream
AK-47
Northern Lights

CBD Botanic-
CBD D Diesel

Nice selection!

I just want some feed back on this first time closest grow im doing. The space in 5.5x2.2x8.

Setup-
Flat white walls
HIGROW 1000W led (400 true watts)
4 inch carbon filter
3 gallon pots
FoxFarm Happy Frog Soil

Im attempting to LST five different auto strains, just to have a selection out of this first grow. I want to stay organic. Everything is already ordered and now im just waiting. I also have 3 180w CFL setups I could add if anyone thinks id need it? My goal is 2-3 oz per plant.

I don’t think you will get 2-3 oz per plant with that light in that space, but you can definitely grow something! Manage your expectations somewhat, that’s sort of a long space to light with one light fixture. Two lights at lower wattage may have been better. You will refine your system with every passing day. Consistency of care is key. As long as you stay dedicated to keeping the plants healthy, without loving them to death, you’ll do fine.

Thanks for the replys everyone.

I've had many people tell me an led won't flower very well, and some said it would be fine but would just take longer.
Don't get discouraged, just do the best you can do with what you have, that's what I'm doing.
I started a cheap budget grow last month using
A "cheap" Mars Hydro 600w led, rated at 270 actual watts
32x32x62 tent
ProMix amended soil
18/6 light cycle with light hung at 24" above plants
I'm moving mine outside in a couple weeks, but this is what mine are doing 21 days after seed pop.
I have 12 plants in 1 gallon fabric pots in this little tent.

 

[Capn-Crunch]

On an added note, my electricity cost for 1 month with light and fans was $16. Gotta love that! lol

 

[MoonDuneBuggy]

Is that 600 true watts?

No the light is 600w actual is probably 270

I simply can’t recommend anything in his price range. But gave him a good future option.

Damn it bubbles. Not everybody can afford the deluxe shed some of us are for to live in our car

 

[Suzi Qi]

I've decided to get the most I can out of this grow, two plants will be going outside after the first few weeks. Leaving three under 400 true watts of led and 540w cfl. Can I expect to get anywhere close to where I want to be by doing this?

Don' expect too much, it could lead to disappointment. Focus on keeping your plants healthy. After you get that down your yield will improve

 

[MasterOf Arts]

This is with just a 600w meizhi. I still have 20-25 days left for the grow and just look at her now.

what size pots you grow in?

 

[Suzi Qi]

what size pots you grow in?

if you have to live in a car growing wouldn’t be a thought in the first place.

You need to just chill out smoke a joint and some honey oil and go kick it with Ricky and Julian.
