The grow will consist of 3 mids 1 northern lights and one blue mystic if all goes well in this set up the next on will be 3 northern lights 3 blue mystic you might see a couple skunks pop up or maybe not if I decide to they will only start there life out in the cab before they go outside by flower the male to female should average 2-3 plants assuming a even 50/50 ratio that being said

LIGHT: right now 20,600 lumens 288 actual watts
(6 23w cfl)
(1 150w cfl)

the goal for flower is 43,200 lumens 626 actual watts
(12 23w cfl)
(1 150w cfl)
(1 200w cfl)

Might even throw in the dual 2 ft fluro tubes just for shits n giggles if I can find room

Why not just buy a hps well money is tight heat space and stealth are all also issues

There final homes will be in 5 gallon grow bags expected tomorrow just in time was already forced to transplant one

Nutes:
veg: Grow More Botanica High Nitrogen
NPK 21-7-7

Flower: not sure yet low funds so I need cheap yet affective maybe organic

Water is distilled and extra oxygen added via air stones

PC fan for intake 60 cfm

Emergency blankets on walls never finshed

Cab specs: 40w 48t 15d

I am planing on LST and scrog

I am a bit late on starting this journal so I will post prior pics in order up to today

Feel free to comment express ideas concerns or give advice

Well my original idea was no where near this I bought 150w light figured I would need a little more so I got a 5 socket vanity light for free and said might as well just screw in y sockets n make 10 and the 60 w clamp light was a mistake when I bout it for the 150w light dident see its said rated to 60w until i was home so I am using it as side light right now
To save room I would rather just use all big ones but when something is free and a 24 pack of 23 w cfl is $12 at walmart I don't argue

Use 400 or 500 watt cfl's instead of many smaller wattage (just a thought)
The lower wattage cfls(23-26w) are more efficient than high watt cfls and it's better to have multiple light sources than just one or two sources of light,plus the higher watt bulbs are hotter.peace
 
I'm using 6 60 watt (300 watt Equivalent) 3200K for Flowering. I need to figure out a way to get the heat down in my closet. May have to add an exhaust fan inside my closet. (Bedroom closet). My fiance is bitching about me cutting a hole in the wall though...lol..I might sneak to do it while she's at work...LOL...
