I have 3 x60 day wonder about 3 weeks from finish. This is my second grow and next time i want to extend to six, three pakistan ryder and three jock horror. At the moment i have a space (not a tent) in the corner 60x60x120 surrounded with reflective sheeting. My light is a 250 hps grolux, i have it about a foot from the top of the plants.

I was thinking of getting another 250hps and extending the space to 120x120, is that enough room for 6 plants and is 2x 250 hps lights enough?

I have read lots of posts about lighting and i am still not clear about CFLs. can i use them for the first 4 weeks, ie from when the beans break cover. The main reason i ask is the electricity costs.

I am going to start a grow diary and post pics, i have followed and read loads on here and learnt lots of stuff. I have more questions but i will search around the forum before asking.

I am also open to suggestions on growing mediums and nutes. As a noobie i went with biobizz allmix and nutes (flower and veg). I am contemplating the DWC on further grows but that will be after this one.
have added a pic of my 60 day just to see if i can upload (i am not good with computers!)
cheers

120x120 is four times the space as 60x60, not twice the space. You would be better off running a 600 in that space, I'm not so sure the two 250s will cut it.
 
Thanks piggy, I got it wrong what i meant was a space 120x60 with 2x 250hps. Will that suffice for 6/
cheers
