First Time Indoors

Soon I will be going from the outdoors to outdoors and indoors. I am going to be using a 400 watt MH on 18hrs, soil in 5 gal growbags, foxfarm growbig nutrients during veg. Then a 400 watt HPS on 12, soil in 5 gal growbags, foxfarm tiger bloom nutrients during budding. Is there anything that I am missing? Oh and the area I'm not sure about yet. I need to take some measurements first.

How many plants? I don't think thats enough light to expect good yield unless your doing just one or two plants, or a small SOG, and in 5 gals thats not SOG.
If you can get a 1000w hps that would do real good. If not just smaller plants or just a few.

Sounds like you have a good plan going though. Don't forget ventilation in your grow area.

No the 12 means 12 hours on a day. Sry. I will probably have 5 plants. Maybe more if I do a SCROG.

Srry to edit lol, I realized that. I Think that might be to many plants, maybe 5 at only a foot tall.

You know the diff between SOG and SCROG right? Scrog just seems like to much work for me for sum reason.

Have you thought about ventilation? A good exchange of air in the room is something that you will want.. 400w doesn't sound like much for 5 plants, I have 2- 600 watt going on 3. 2- 400 would be probably be good.. If you cant get another light a good cab, scrog grow would be good... also I would research lst in the faq or thread search tool. Although you may end up with a room that is large enough to allow you to just let them grow, I think you would probably do better with a more compacted grow.. If you can up the wattage the you can get yourself a lot more yield with better trich formation..

follow the link in my sig, check the journal there is a ton of good info in there from people who really know there shit... also follow their links and check as many journals as you can.. Ive really found that the best way for me to learn. With the journals you can see how things actually worked out when trying new things that might work for you...
sry such a long post, Im high as hell and have a bit of babble in me now!!
Peace and Good luck!!!

I'm just reading everything I can right now. I am probably not going indoors for awhile. The outdoors is cheaper and theres more room.
