I think you would be much better served with bar style led grow lights with that much space.

Bar style lights do not concentrate the light to the center like board style led grow lights. They spread the lights out evenly, allowing you to run the lights much closer to the canopy (typically 6-12 inches). They tend to run much cooler as well.

I would recommend getting a light that is more watts than you need so you can run the fixture dimmed and much more efficient. Most bar style lights rated for a 5x5 ft. light spread will fit in a 4x4 ft. space (or 4x6 ft. in your case).

If you’re on a budget this is a wonderful deal and a good unit by a good manufacturer. They are a site sponsor also.

that is right

If the weed is just for you, why not leave the sugar leaves to protect the kief from falling out of the bud.... don't forget the alfalfa....for the win

This is all from the brain of @NotFrankster, who is one of the most knowledgeable folks on here regarding biochemical responses in plants. What the alfalfa does is stimulate natural release of Triacnotanol into your grow and all the ancillary benefits (see below). During the grow you can trim the alfalfa and put it in your salad (benefits you) or it adds to a mulch layer for water retention.
Plant senescence is the process of aging in plants. Plants have both stress-induced and age-related developmental aging.

1-Triacontanol (n-triacontanol) is a fatty alcohol of the general formula C30H62O, also known as melissyl alcohol or myricyl alcohol. It is found in plant cuticle waxes and in beeswax. Triacontanol is a plant hormone for most plants; notably cannabis. Which it rapidly increases the number of basal breaks. 1-Triacontanol is a natural plant growth regulator. It has been widely used to enhance the yield of various crops around the world, mainly in Asia. Triacontanol is reported to increase the growth of plants by enhancing the rates of photosynthesis, protein biosynthesis, transport of nutrients in a plant and enzyme activity, reducing complex carbohydrates among many other purposes. The fatty alcohol appears to increase the physiological efficiency of plant cells and boost the potential of the cells responsible for the growth and maturity of a plant.

Appear to allow the plant to "ripen longer"

I've been growing alfalfa in my grow up too now; (4% in cuticle waxes) but decided to take this to the next level; since I'm getting satisfactory results. I also occasionally ferment some bees wax/sugars into my mixtures.

Have to give Aquaman credit for this one.... He's the one told me about alfalfa seeds being high in tricontonol.


No questions about it though. It's certainly beneficial regardless of the source

Just want to clarify your request. You are going to empty your bedroom, I'm assuming, and turn it into a grow room while you save enough money to build an extension to the bedroom itself or a separate room?

I guess my answer would be to break it down into separate sub systems. You have environmental control meaning HVAC install. This will include heating, cooling and humidity control. LIghting. No need for explanation. Irrigation.

Are you going to house mothers? Will you have separate veg and flower chambers? Are you trying to setup a rotation schedule for perpetual supply?
