New to Rollitup, want some opinions!On my next grow.

Ok, so I'll start by listing what I have:

1x 150 HPS(Sunsystems w/internal ballast)

3x 125watt(ACTUAL watts) CFL's 2x veg 1xbloom

* A couple big bags of Fox Farm Ocean mix.

* A small bottle of Bio Bizz Bio Bloom

* A 6 square foot grow area. 3x2

Right now, my current ventalation method keeps that room at 82 degrees with 2x 125 cfl's and 1x 150 HPS.

I have 1 Sweet Deep Grapefruit, 1 Bubba Kush and 1 Sour Cream(All fem). The bubba kush is the healthiest of them. Beautifull dark green color since it sprouted. Germed on 9.22 and planted on 9.24 Kept them in a computer grow case until 3 days ago and moved them into the grow room.

FYI: this is my second grow. My 1st was 5 Fem LowRyder#2. Which turned out AWESOME. So much resin!!! The trimmings made some super dank cookies too. But I only got just over a 1/2 oz from all 5 plants!! My downfall? I only had 3 125 watt cfls for the whole grow. Sucks, I know.

Now to the advice part....

I want to grow 2+ pounds(and i stress the PLUS) in my ,currently, limited grow space. Also, I want to use an auto-flowering strain to do this in the shortest amount of time possible.

So, what strain(s) to use? How about lighting?

I know the seeds will be costly but for some good green I'd do any tang!!!lol

So you want to grow 2 pounds every harvest..i don't think that's possible in the space you have..

off a 150? 2 pounds thats a insane expectation

Mmmm... How bout with a bigger space? Say 4 feet by 5 feet?

I know I'll need more lights. I was asking for advice on it as well.

Gonna need a 1K HPS to pull off 2lbs per harvest. And a 4x4 would be a much more ideal space to work with. Doubt your going to be able to do that with an autoflower strain either.

1st real answer. Thanks. I was just looking at some lights and wondering wheither to go 1000 or 600 watt. Guess I'll go with the 1000. Heat will be an issue. One i've been trying to avoid, but oh well.

Here's the link to the light. Was gonna go with a reflector that has a spot for an 8inch fan http://www.htgsupply.com/growlights.asp?categoryID=1&subcategoryID=101&typeID=83

Yeah if your going to have heat issues definitely opt for the air cooled reflector. It helps tremendously in small areas. I have never heard of digital greenhouse lights. But HTG is a reputable place to buy, and apparently the ballast has a 5 yr warranty. So I'd say go for it. If you have problems HTG is usually good about making things right.
