Yo people,

I´m a newbie from the Czech Republic(Europe).
I so glad to have find this forum, cause I finally have a place to lay a few good ones...(questions). Look I have a grow room setup in a closet, or rather a cabinet. I would like to grow about 4 plants of mary, but I´m afraid
it´s too small for that. Because here in Europe we have centimetres I hope I don´t fuck up the math.

My cabinet is 59.76"(153cm) high, 19.53"(50cm) wide and 23.43"(60cm) deep. As I said, I would like to grow 4 plants at the same time. Since I´m no expert I´d like to ask if it´s plausiblle? I also have a question regarding lights. I´d like to use CFT at least 4 40W, but I don´t understand the "cool(blue)" light and the "red" light. I read that a blue light is used for vegetation, and a red for flowering. But is it really necesarry for me to buy 8 lights 4 blue and 4 red? And how does it work, do I just switch the bulbs and switch to 12/12 to go to flowering? I also wanted to ask you for ventilation ideas for my cabinet? Cause I really don´t have and idea on how to ventilate?.. I know I´m anoying whith these stupid questions, but I don´t know where else to find the answers... it´s not like I´m gonna call information, or ask at a near-by greenhouse (flower shop):D

Thx for future answers

venilation, fan, open window..
nutes.. foxfarm..
lighting. you dont need the red bulb..
18/6 for veg
12/12 for flower, only flower when ur plants have matured up
change the light cycle about 12 inch or so!!

its best to use a mixed spectrum of lighting during flowering, so you may only need to buy 2 new bumbs for flowering. 4 40w bulbs(or tubes?) should be decent lighting.

5 ft is an OK sized space for growing in, so i think youll be just fine

for ventilation your going to need a few small computer fans. say, 2 on the bottom for intake and 2 on top for exhaust. on your exhaust fans, your going to want to make a DIY carbon filter(you may be able to make 1 filter that works for both fans) the designs for the filter can be found on this site. ask me if you cant find it or if you have any other questions
