no,the same 4x4x8 space but take better advantage of the space right now its flower or vegg .. its in flower mode and the vegging is happening in my bedroom in a cardboard box lined with mylar:) right now im using 4x4x4 cube and the bottom is empty wasted space so i willl double the space by using the bottom:)

iight, looks good flower up top veg on bottom.
is this in a closet ?

my room in my basement is 6x9 x8 tall
i want to re do with sheet rock and make a little longer
rearrange the veg room and have a little bit more flowering space
and have a real wall separating the 2
and some real doors ... lol

i have 2x400watt hps 2x400mh 1x250mh ..all just parts from the craigslist guy...i cant use anywhere near all that power i bought them as a package deal... here is a pic of the room mostly cleaned out just waiting for the three 12/12 girls to finish up:)


oh yeah i had gnats for less than a day! i just cleaned the room with light bleach and put sand on top of my soil and water from the bottom:)

(attention random readers)
im not a newb this is a brainstorming session for all that have followed my grow thus far:) i dont need anyone to tell me cfls suck i still need to use some in vegg and clone:) when im done building i will sell off all my extra hids for what i paid for them...or maybe keep them??

i know it sounds crazy but im really thinkin 400mh in the flower room and cfl in vegg/clone... i know , i know, hps for flower and mh for vegg but alot of the og growers swear mh makes stronger weed by developing more crystals than the hps and the buds dont get as big so the thc is spread out less...sounds good to me ...

now you guys know why things are taking a while....

here is why i started thinking the mh for flowering and everything else i have read on the subject seems to agree ............here is a quote from USERFRIENDLY

"people change to hps because they don't know any better. Its what someone told them was correct. The red light is going to grow slightly bigger LESS POTENT buds because the trichomes/resin is dilluted by the slightly bigger nugs. The rise in plant material is not proportionate to the rise in trichomes. The halides pump out uvb which force the plant to insulate and protect themselves with more trichomes/resin. Believe that. If you want connoisseur nugs, you grow with halides."


this just makes sense to me im sure a few brows will be raised!!

maybe ill swap out my hps tonight with the MH and let it go for a week ... see if i notice a change

i would get one of the dual bulbs but i think they only come 600 or 1000 watt

i have to build reflectors for all of them(they are just dirty parts in a milk crate:) )so i guess i could do a dual spectrum... im really happy with the electric bill so far i know when i throw the big boys in there its going to get pricey..i run 460 real watts of cfl with no bill change bc i cfled the rest of the house i dont know where i can save another 400-650 watts???? i was also thinking 400watt metal halides and some 2700k cfls in flower for the mix...

i dont think i can smoke that much bud in 3 months .. i am only growing for me and i dont want to get to the point where i have to sell .. i guess i could give some away to some older patients i know??? i never thought too much weed would be my problems.... :)
