Using clones you could easily get away with using 3 gallon buckets. Some cat litter comes in 3 gallon square buckets, this would be perfect for space conservation. Have you decided on what light you're going with? the 1000 watter will give you a better spread, but the heat might be an issue. I personally think the 600w would be perfect. I grew in a closet with almost the same dimensions as you and great results with a 400w. Check my gallery and you'll see my haze experiment.

wow pretty good job for a 400watter.....i already told the person whose selling me the light that i wanted the 600watter ....was gonna go with the 1000w but after thinkin how i was gona deal with the heat and all in a 8sq ft grow room will be hell so im goin with 600watt.....n lumens wise that 600watt will put me about 11,000 lumens per sq ft also wanted to go from straight clone to flower ....when i was talkin about 1 gallon grow bags i wanted to fit as many as i can ........

ya, those clones look great. good job.

thanx for stoppin by man ........

Grow bags are definitely a great buy for soil grows. Cheap, durable, re-usable, and prduce a square footprint when filled. Wise choice on the 600. It also emit the most effecient lumen/watt ratio. I do suggest a hortilux bulb, too, if you can get ahold of one. Always keep the old bulb as a backup. I put a sock over mine when I handle it to avoid finger prints and whatnot. Not completely necessary, just make sure it's clean before sparking it up.

Careful with FoxFarm nutes. They'll be fine right to a certain point, then all of a sudden burn the hell out of some plants if you overdo it in the slightest. Just start at 50% strength and see how they adjust. Then add accordingly.

FloraNova is great, too. But I would give the FoxFarm a shot. Just be easy with it. But if you're worried about burning, then FloraNova will be more forgiving. Not organic, though.

sog would be nice as thats what i'll be doing. you ever consider doing ebb & flow sog?

 

[Sublime757]

Ebb & flo SoG is the shit. I just setup a 24 plant SoG using a 4'x8' flood tray for an older guy at my job. I wanted to take pictures but he forbade it. His house, his rules. 32 plants could've easily fit in there but he insisted on 24. I'll be starting a DWC SoG after this strain test I got in complete.

thanx man ill go with the fox farm line up ....also read up that it does some amazing things but i might hold off the tiger bloom since people been sayin that its not fully organic ......

sog would be nice as thats what i'll be doing. you ever consider doing ebb & flow sog?

i wanted to go with that ebb & flow 2 weeks harvest but right now pretty tight on money right now since gotta register my car and clear up some tickets or suspened license but my next grow after this ill be doing the 2 weeks for sure........

 

[JayDRO]

You should get some organic liquid worm casting, you dont need to water them to give them this food, and the plants love it. I use it and suggest it a lot. Its a food source that can be fed to the plant from start to finish.

What are you gonna be feeding her anyways?
