First Grow, T5, Northern Lights

yeah yeah i know im just high and rambling on and on about lol

HPS was actually what I was going to go with in the beginning, but then I realized it might not be ideal for my closet, so I went with the best fluorescents I could find

how big is this closet of yours

it's about 4ft long 3ft wide.. I only keep the plants directly under the light though. A mother could be kept in there in a separate light proof box of some sort.

hps is ideal for that size 250-400

yup mine is just about that same size, 5 x 3 feet, enough room for 8 plants in 12 x 12 inch pots

yea, i was going to get a 250w hps, if the heat isn't too bad to manage i still might later.

i thought it was for the money saving you were using t5s because you could fit a 250 or 400 watt with a cheap duct fan and or bathroom fan and you will be alright with temps

T5's run considerably cooler than HID, and I'm in an apt where cutting holes isn't allowed. I can have the room sealed and not have temp problems.

use panda film cut a hole thru that im just trying to give suggestions

yup, your fine for now anyways. better to get your grow down right first before shelling out for more expensive setup

Yea, that was an option I was also considering. I have the paranoid factor though, I like to keep the closet locked when I'm not around, and on 18/6 I'm not going to be around all the time the light is on... That could work out though, if I used the T5 for veg, and then used the HPS for flower, since I'm around generally for 12hrs straight and I could leave the door open when it's on.

Anyway, yea lets just wait till I at least get a grow or two through before I worry about this lol

i know i think ahead of myself alot..we live today tommorows never promised

oh trust me i think way ahead too lol. already got tons of seeds, even bought a bunch of jars to store buds and havent even started flowering hah

I have jars but they weren't originally for curing.. I have them from back when I was trying to grow mushrooms lol

im thinking on my next strain and i just ordered ak47 yesterday lol... im thinking of getting moms for each plant and have harvest with different strains everytime ill be in heaven lmao...

you get regular ak47? i just got some auto flower lowilfe ak47... no idea when i will be able to grow them if i have to keep them on 18/6 the whole time though lol

yeah reg ak47 but i heard lowryder r crossed with some plant with r that flowers automatically with no thc so that sucks

nah these are regular fem ak47 crossed with lowryders. all the same genetics of reg ak47, just made to auto flower after two weeks...

ok sounds like yours will be done b4mine let me know how it taste..
