does this sound good?
    #7493702 - 10/07/07 07:46 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)

high all! i will be starting a grow soon (sorry no grow log will be posted for i have no camera)


for the equipment i will be working with:

1. 400w hps digital ballast lighting system with cooltube (flower)

4. 25w daylight cfl lamps (veg)

1. 250cfm inline centrifugal fan

1. 10" long x 8" wide carbon filter.



for nutrients and supplements i will be using:


botanicare. pure blend pro grow (veg)

botanicare. pure blend pro bloom (flower)

botanicare. cal-mag

super-thrive.


grow environment


1. self built cab, dimensions (T 5'3 x W 32" x D 31")

the cab will be sectioned into two parts a veg-room and a flower room

i will be doing a perpetual harvest type grow,

i will be growing northern-lights and have seeds germinating right now

i will keep a mother plant and take clones every two weeks,

my plan is to put 2 plants in the flower section then a month later when those plants are half way done i will put two more in the flower section,

and in another month harvest the first two plants and put two more in there place,

then the next month harvest the second pair of plants i put in,

then put two more in there place, so i will constantly have 4 plants in the flower room,

i was gonna go with a 250w hps but the 400w is only 10 dollars more at the site i will be buying from so i said what the hell and decided when i get the light to just go for the 400w, i figure 400w on 4 plants will yield some nice dense big buds (don't mean to jump the gun)

my goal is to harvest 2 ounces every month so i never have to spend $100usd for a 1/4 of shwagy seed and stem weed ever again (what i am paying now)


so does this setup sound good to you guys? do you think the
400w will good for 4 plants?

and i know that it is impossible to really say exactly but given the conditions i have stated could someone please give me a BALLPARK guesstimate of how much i might yield per plant? thats ballpark not exact i know that is impossible to tell,

i am good at growing vegetables and mushrooms so i think i will be able to get the hang of it pretty quick, i have also been reading cultivation related books and forums like this one since i was 11 years old (i will be 24 this December) and yes i was a young stoner!

i will gladly take any advice and tips you can give can give me,

thanks in advance


peace out Dm
how much do you guess yield per plant will be?
You may choose only one
do you think 400w is a good amount for 4 plants?

the 400 is good for 4 plants
your 2 ounce goal sounds feasible.
you seem to have your plan together
good luck
oh and what do you need cal mag for??? you got hard water??
how about ph adjust kit???

the soil will be my own personal mix, the soil will have lots of perilite and verm in it so itll be nice and fluffy ans not to dense, i figured if i harvested 2 plants amonth then i would be able to pull off 2 oz a month


peace out Dm

I'd do 6 plants in 2x3 rows or 9 plants in 3x3. If you do 4 make sure to extend the vegetative growth cycle so your plants will have a lot of branches and tips from which to grow buds.

I'd do 1.5 months worth of 18/6 before going 12/12. The extra veg growth will really help to increase yields and you'll be wasting light if you grow only 4 plants under a 400w without filling up the canopy. Train your plants with strings and ties so that they grow a nice thick canopy.

I think you'll do well. It took me a few grows to get a satisfactory harvest so don't get discouraged if your desired yields aren't reached with the first or second grow!
