This is what is going on in 3 diff closests i use. First one is for cuttings and re-potted cuttings till they get a solid hold in new pots then they go into the veggie closet. The cutting and veggie closets both on 18/6 timmers. I broke down and got a 4'x8' grow tent! and the one bud is a medijuana strain i got seeds from Amsterdam. Together i have a few strains here. one was just really good domestic that I saved seeds from. The others are one Lemon Skunk I retrieved a seed from, Big Bud and Medijuana from Amsterdam. the Big Bud strain clones and grows awsome. The MediJuana is much harder to clone and grows much slower. Next investment i make is a good grow light, i do have all of these under floro's. I have them majuring about 1-2 plants every week but getting small yields. Dryed i get anywhere from 1/8 oz to 1oz per plant. Plenty to keep me in personal but with a total of 36sq ft space I should be getting much more. I do put them in budding tent around 3 ft tall, with my floro lighting i wasnt getting anything on bottoms anyways.

after doing lots of reading, i think i have 2 problems! first is i grew way past my wattage on my lights, really didnt want 3 freaking closets full but thats how i ended, i have my 4x8 ft grow tent with 500 watts of cfl now.. just got a couple more, was 450. will be adding more as fast as i can. 2nd one is i do NOT have them right above, dont have the amount of lights to do this. lol, i have 12 plants in the budding closet alone 4 - 5 ft tall. thats the pan view. QUESTION PLZ.. some of you experts can mabe share the knowledge of perfect wattage per square foot? i have guessed it to be about 500 watts for 4'x4' as HPS is 400 ( or so i have read ) and i notice the calculations of lumens per watt makes cfls need about 20% more wattage for same lumens for HPS... this coming from a non expert so please dont flame but corrections are very appreciated! :+)

with cfls its good to have two lights per plant and to keep them under 5ft tall..............i know what thats like im getting overrunn with clones so i made a second room one is my vegg room and i have 4 26 watt cfls and 10 clones...........and i have my flower room and i have three plants in there each put in 1 month apart.......i would suggest for you since you do have the space just get 1 400 to 1000 watt hps and you will deffinatly see the diff.........and if you choose to continue with cfl dont vegg for longer than 1 month they get too big and its harder to give them the light they need.......
