I don't really need "help", just looking for an opinion more or less. I'm still definitely a noob, almost finished my first cfl grow and I probably wont get more than 1/4 ounce off of my single plant because I fucked up bad and killed all the others... but anyway...
Once I get another grow under my belt and have some cash to spare, I'd like to build a nice little 2 sided grow box. I'd probably have 4-6 23w cfl's in one side for vegging, and one 150w hps in the other for flowering. I'd like to have 2 plants on both sides at all times (always taking clones so I don't need to worry about male/hermy seeds). I probably wouldn't grow the plants to be more than 2 feet tall (veg for ~2 months?). Assuming I don't fuck up (too bad), how much could I expect to get off of two 2 foot tall plants under a 150w hps? I'd like to be able to have a continuous cycle going eventually so I'm never without bud
Does this sound like a good setup? How much heat can I expect from a 150w hps? Also, assuming the plant is healthy, do they really grow 3x their original size in flower? So I'd need the box to be 6ft tall if I started with a 2ft plant? My current plant didn't get any bigger (taller or wider) at all after I put it into flower (aside from the buds, of course). So what's the deal with that?
