Northern Lights is a very good choice for you. A 250 watt hps will do a good job for 1 or 2 plants. have fun:peace:

Can't advise you on the NL Auto. I haven't grown it. They are out of stock anyway.
I have run the NL fems from Nirvana and they were decent. Your space is small so I would suggest the fems vs the regular.

The auto version will grow quicker, flower without a change in light cycle, and yield less.
the non auto version will take longer to grow, needs a light cycle change to flower, and will yield more

Then you thin the auto will be for me? And where in difference from auto to simple NL?

Autoflowering strains are a variety of marijuana that has the ruderalis strain bred into it (russian ditch weed). Ruderalis has a traight that it flowers automaticly when it reaches maturatiy as oposed to normal strains of marijuana which need to be put under a 12/12 light cycle to initiate flowering. the upside to autos is your get a very fast growing plant that is strong and hard to kill. the downside is since the plant finishes quicker yield and potency are lower then normal strains, also you cant take clones from an auto as they will just die off at the same time as the mother plant. Auto's are good for beginers in my opinion, im on my first grow and im growing 2 auto flowers and 2 normals.
Non autoflowering strains can be kept in veg for a few months to create much bushier plants that yield much more, with a normal strain you control when the plant starts to flower so this gives you room to do things like topping and super cropping to create larger plants. auto flowers since they flower when they want no matter what dont respond as well to this growth control techniques because they dont have the extra time in veg to recover from it.
Since its your first grow and you want something easy to get results quick id recomend goign with the auto flower variety. There fast, simple, and hard to kill. then when your comfortable growing an auto you can apply the knowledge you've learned to growing normal strains. hope this helps

edit cause i saw ur post, feminised seeds are guranted to be female (99% of the time) regular seeds can be either male or female. unpollonated females is where good weed comes from. a nl auto withh probal gorw somewhere between 1-3 feet, non auto strains you have control over how high you want to plant to grow using height control techniquies and deciding when to put it into flower, a plant will double in height during flower

my auto's are called polar express from autoseeds, they are a northern lights mixed with g13 haze and ruderalis. they have been growing really well for me, and are a little sensative to nutes, this one is 5 weeks old and about 2 1/2 feet tall. id recomend this strain to a beginer based on how well they have been growing for me and im a complete beginer

If i will take Auto Northern Lights i need one more plant? Or i just can buy one Auto NL femnised seed. Germinate it, and put in pots. And take CFL 250w or HPS 250w?

each seed grows 1 plant, so you need a seed for each plant you want to have, and each seed needs its own pot. how many plants you wnat to have is up to you. a good rule of thumb for lights whatever type you use is 100w per plant. if you use CFL make sure you look at actual watts not equivilent watts

what means fems vs the regular? Spacecould be bigger. How much space needs NL?
Click to expand...
If you grow regular seeds you will need to grow more plants. Some of them will be male. So you will have to keep male and female until you know for sure their sex.
If you grow fems you will only need to grow 2 plants.
1.2 meter square is plenty of space for 2 NL.

the most your going to get off an auto is 1 ounce maybe 2 if your really good. you can only grow 1 plant if you want, but if you have the space and the lights u might as well grow 2 or 3 and make it worth your time. Will take about 3 months before there harvested dried and ready to smoke. also growing 2 or 3 plants is beneficial if something happens to one of the plants you still have 2 left. if you only have one plant and it dies somehow, well your just shit outta luck

Ou much thanks to you man. And if i will take 3 plants then i need 3x100 HPS or CFL lights yes?
Click to expand...
yeah if you went with 3 plants id recomend a 400w hps system, or about 300w worth of CFL lights. or if you have some money to spend a 240w or better LED grow light.
each lighting method has its pros and cons and i recomend doign alot of research before you decide whats best for your situation, ill give u a quick run down here

1. HPS pro: Excellent yields, good canopy penetration, low start up cost. cons: high heat requiring a good cooling setup, high energy use, bulbs need to be replaced every few grows, bulbs to close to plants can burn them quickly.

2. CFL pro: Low Heat, low startup costs, can be positioned and repositioned to better illuminate the sides and lower parts of plants, not likely to burn plants. Cons: Poor canopy pentration, bulbs need to be 2-6 inches from plant or there not effective. lots of bulbs and cords to get tangled in, bulbs need to replaced every few months

3. LED pro: very low heat, finely tuned spectrum for growth, long lasting units should last 5 years before being replaced, very low energy use, wont burn plants. Cons: High start up cost, are only effective in a small footprint underneat the light, multiple units needed to cover large areas.
