New Grower First Grow Help.

[Cory916]

So i had an amazing plan to start a 3x3x7 grow tent, and grow some amazing meds. Until my landlord decided to sell our place, now i cant put it up due to realtors coming.... But i will not give up! i want to grow 2 autos in a hand made box with a small desk fan hooked up. Iv been reading about cfl's. Could i grow 2 autos all the way through from seeds with 4 200w cfls? Would it be too little, or too much? and is it even possible? Heres the ones im looking at...

Thanks for your help in advance.

Don't buy those, that company is trying to sell you a 26 watt cfl for fifteen bucks that you can buy down at the store for about three. Yes you can grow super dank thick nugs with cfls, I have. Small cabs take a bit of fine tuning and more ventilation than you would think, especially when stinky time rolls around and you have to pull through a filter. When we had to move I waited until after we moved and saved myself a ton of hassle, I don't regret it. How long until you move?

where still gonna be here, we just signed another 1 year leave to avoid being kicked out out of no where. im actually gonna use rubbermaid tubs. smaller, easier, easy to put away in a hurry, and alot of room incide of them. i think im gonna run 4 autos in rubbermaids. what kind of cfls do u suggest? and how many do u think ill need for 4 autos during both cycles? i want to do this cuz when i know their coming, i can put the whole thing in my outside closet. can u check ebay and share me the link of what cfls u think r the best for my grow. thanks in advance

Hey Cory what up man, welcome to AFN. You can get cfl's at a normal store if you want to save the hassle of shipping. 6500k for vegetative growth and 2700k for flowering. Check out some of the other grows or DIY projects to get an idea of how many you want to use. I used to live in the good ol 916.

The size of the container, the size of the plants, the size of the pots, and enough room for a carbon filter and fan all need to be known to know what you can grow. If youre worried about putting it away in a hurry you meed a carbon filter to cover smell. Give the size of tue container you have in mind and you can get specific advi,e.

Here's a cheap n good rubber made design by a guy over at ic called red greenery.

Make sure the fan you put in the little carbon filter isn't too powerful, otherwise that little carbon won't work.

Cory whatever you do don't spend 15 bucks on that ebay bulb it's a huge ripoff, like others have said you can go get a whole pack of cfl's for 15 dollars, also ive noticed that some packages don't say 6500k but instead they'll say daylight and the 2700k will be soft white, if I'm incorrect in this someone please feel free to tell me.

im gonna do a cfl scrog with 2 clones of some GIRL SCOUT COOKIE, in a 36 or 38g tub. it seems that 6 or each light it each stage would work. what do u think?

 

[Muddy]

Just bear in mind that photos can double or triple in size after they are switched to a 12/12 lighting schedule. So you're going to have to keep a short veg period on them or you might run out of room pretty fast.
