Are there laws in romania? Or are you just trying to hide it so the gypsies can't steal it?

the floor is 1.5m x 1m? I bet in 3 gal buckets you could fit 6 and 1.2m is plenty tall for growing with cfl but not with HPS or MH. IMO

as many watts of cfls as you can fit. the bigger the plant the more buds you get but if you do want small ones and fast veg for 2 weeks and put into flower

with a box that big you would want more cfls than that, you would want them on the top and sides of the plants. 12/12 is the light period. 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark will make your plants flower. IMO I would put at least 8 of those clfs

ok i changed mind, i will resume for the beggining at 1mx1m and will go with 400 hps system or maybe 3x150 hps. i think that 1,20 is too tall.isnt it?

1.2 m is to short for a 400hps 1mx1mx1.2 would over heat even if you had a cooling system like i have for my light in my grow journal. maybe try one 150hps and side light with cfl. you will still need a way to cool the 150hps

allright! then i hope 1.80 would be good.

http://hollandhydroponicoutlet.com/sun-system-switchable-p-3680.html you could get a lamp like this. what i would do is make a cheap grow room out of cardboard and white paint. you could make a bit bigger space than you are thinking right now and it would be easy to keep it cool. if you ever need to take it down fast you can destroy the room way quicker than you made it. and its super cheap
yes i will make it out of cardboard, but the interior isnt better if i get some mylar or similar material? a bit bigger ok, that would be??
