So I'm just finishing my first grow ever, outdoors. got about 4 weeks til harvest.
anyways after reading things for a couple weeks it seems so much more complex getting started than it was for an outdoor grow.
Here's my goal..
10 plants in 7 gallon pots. 4 week veg then Xweeks flowering (depending on flower times per strain..)
First, will that be enough room for that many plants? I'm planning to mainline so i will keep them pretty short but I do know hps and mh need to be a good distance away from the top of the plants.
Now is it necessary to have mh for veg and hps for flower. Or can I use either or for both? I have read that spectrums on hps might cause longer internodal spacing, how accurate is that? is it something I should worry about? if I don't mainline I wanted to heavy bottom prune and grow a tree but i doubt that's possible in a 6.5 foot tent. maybe scrog.
also what is the minimum number of lights I will need to keep these girls growing vigorously? 1 1000 2 1000 or say even 3 1000s or 4 600s? would that many even fit in my tent? would they cause too much of a heat issue? I know nothing about indoor lighting as my first door was under the good ol sun. it seemed to do the work for me.
and last main question.. lol I don't understand anything about exhaust ducting and intake/in line fans and all that stuff.. idek what an intake fan is. what would suffice my size of grow tent? whatever lights I get should they be the kind with air cooled reflector hoods?
I have a shit ton of questions and I read a lot but I wanna no more now on my specific setup..
thanks in advance.
