that space can support a deep water culture and a 600W HPS/MH combo. too much? go for a 400W HPS or MH.

I have alot less hieght then you so i use a 250HPS, with 5 plants. they're about a foot from the bulb and they love it.

you can do 400hps in something that size but you need to make sure you have good ventilation. i have a 2x4x8 closet that has a 250w hps, and it works great though. at times i wish i had the extra wattage but i am not complaining and my last crop of 6 plants gave me about 7.5z's fully cured, so i dont think they were really complaining wither...in any event, make sure you have god ventilation if you are using HID.

as far as strain, anything not mostly sativa will be good

We have now changed the cupboard about and we now have a 250watt MH light with an NFT system with a twelve inch air stone two clip on 6inch fans.
We have started by using 4 white rhino clones we have had them 3 days and they are already starting to respond to the light and the NFT system and nutrience (rhizotonic,canna aqua a+b) but the plants are starting to go yellow on the tips and some casses the whole leaf has died the new leaves look ok but can some one give us some advice please

thanks tombong

I honestly don't know.
Could it be not enough water?
Too many nutrients?
Or light is too close?

I'm trying to help you torubleshoot cause I have no idea. I'm new to this stuff too.

Yes they have rooted & ime feeding them with 1ml per every litre ov rhyizotonic & canna vega A+B 1ml per every litre of both. It seems to be only the old leaves are being affected the new growth is fine since they have been in the N.F.T system they seem to taken of they are growing about half an " a day. I will put some more picsup again soon. CHEERS TOM BONG1. :joint::joint::joint::joint::joint::joint::spew:

Probably nutes but they look OK now,Use a little less than suggested nute levels at first, you can always add more,and be patient they should turn around. Good Luck.Check FAQ's too.

Clone usually take a few days to adapt before they go into grow mode. Keep your nute ppm around 350 or 400 till they start to look better. Keep you 250w about 16" above.
Happy Growing:blsmoke:
