Hello fellow farmers,
This is not my first go at it, but its been a few years. I hope some of you will give me your suggestions on the best use of this flower space. SOG from clones is what I'm shooting for.
Here is what I'm working with.
Veg space is 3'wide x 2.5' deep x 2.5' tall. I'm happy with it...
Flower space / 3'wide x 2.5' deep x 5.5' tall, I have painted the walls of this space flat white, and plumbed air inlet 8" and outlet 4".
I have a 4" 170 cfm fan and carbon filter, not yet installed, will hook to a cool-tube reflector. I am venting the space and cool-tube with the same fan.
Building a multiple site DWC bubblier out of a "Best Plastics 27 Gallon Strong Box Tote" 30.5" x 20.4" x 14.5" from H-Depot. Nutrients are GH.
My Questions:
1- I have a 400w hps Magnetic ballast now but was thinking about trying a digital one , should I stick with 400w, would 600w be over kill for this small 7.5 square foot space?
2- Is there much difference in cooling a 400w vs. 600w bulb, can the temp be managed in this small space with the 170cfm fan?
3- plant number, I keep reading 1 per square foot, Whats your thoughts on this?
Should I go with 7, 8, plant sites or more? I'd like your input on this before I drill the lid for the net pots.
4- seed suggestions for this setup? all are appreciated.
