i am new to growing and need some advice on my grow space. i have a spare 6x3 closet; from floor to ceiling is 8.75ft. been researching for the past month and want to grow 5 plants using 40-50w CFLs. my questions are: is this enough space for 5 plants to flower with good yeilds and another 5 to veg? / any suggestions on how i should divide the flower and veg chambers?

i ask these question because it is whats keeping me from getting started.

sounds like fun!

to answer your questions yes thats more then enough space i would cut it in half horizontally around 4-5ft on the bottom for flower and the top for veg seeing how you can use fluros or cfls on the top you don't need that much space with the right techniques you could veg 10 or more and flower 10 or more depending on what road you wanna go down, you definitely wanna flower with hps even if you only throw in a 70-150 and supplement with cfls i would strongly recommend a sog/fim combo if your looking for bulk. being your first grow and deciding on 10 plants going perpetual leads me to believe you wouldnt have it otherwise

should try a few grows in a pc case its fun to see what you can come up with and has a way of turning you into one crafty fucker seeing how there is such a space restriction

Vegetate your plants in the smaller closet and Flower them in the bigger one.The 6x3 can hold 4-16 plants with a lil extra space left depending on the strain and the vegging time.
In the space you are using i suggest a stronger light source,nothing less than 250w of HID but I'm not saying compact florescent lights won't work but just a suggestion(400w,600w)

thanks for advice hot shot. i dont have any other spare space to run a separated flower and veg room. so im going to have to do it all in same space. also bro with your lighting suggestion, since im using the one closet for both could i still use the CFLs or flors?

yes you would have to make a sort of curtain to prevent any light leaks from getting into your bloom room
