Firstly gotta say this is gonna be my 1st attempt @growing & as you can imagine I've got a few questions,here4s the 1st of em

1. Is a cupboard that measures 186 cm tall (6ft),86cm(2.5ft) wide & has a depth of 46cm(1.5ft)gonna be big enough for 2-3 plants??

I'm planning on using a couple of fans to move the air around,a extractor fan & a fan to suck in air & a 400w lamp

Please be gentle as I have alot to learn.All info will be much appreciated.Thanks

yeah you can fit that many plants in there, but you're going to want to keep them small. So small pots and short veg time are the way to go if you want that number of plants. You might yield the same amount off of one large plant in that same area. But with the 400 i would do smaller guys. good luck!

Nice one........Nothings definite yet regards the lamp & number of plants & 1 plant will be easier to manage considering I'm a 1st timer.So there's defo enough space & I could use a 600w lamp & grow just 1 big plant??

That 600 will throw lots of heat unless you are planning on an air cooled hood. 400 watts will be the same problem unless you plan for it up front.

Would a 13 gallon rubbermaid container be big enough for me? I got 4 seedlings right now, just unknown mids strains. I obviously want them to be as short as I can possibly make them, any ideas? If I absolutely have to I can stack another container on top and cut them to look like regular storage containers but I really don't want to have to do that. I'm trying to keep my grow as inconspicuous and stealthy as possible.

if you want to keep them short you should have as short a veg time as possible say 2-3 weeks depends how high the space is and what strain. hope that helps.

I actually decided to throw them instantly into flowering, idk if thats bad or not but I've seen it done before with good results. The strains are just mids idk really what strain they are but I made sure they were top notch seeds I planted.

i was wondering the same thing about space... ive jus baught a 2ftx2ft grow tent and was thinking of growing a mother then taking 2 cuttings keeping mother on veg till the cuttings are ready and switching all 3 on 12/12 i'm gonna be using cfls so can keep light close to plants to avoid stretching... anyone know if there will be enough room in there for that many or should i jus go for the one or 2?

You can go straight to 12/12 after you get 4 leaves on the sprout. You could get a 12" plant with a 6" bud. Just sayin.
