Hi folks,

I'm eagerly doing my homework for my first grow.

I have a cabinet which I plan to use, but due to the size/space restrictions, I could use some advice.

The interior of the cabinet is 100 cm high, 53 cm wide, and 40 cm deep. I also plan on using 7.5L pots and it'll be a soil grow.

My CFLs - 2 x 125W Envirolights (blue/white) and 4 x 30 Spiral CFLs (warm white). Total of around 24,000 lumens. I'll also be switching the 2 125w's with 2 Red spectrum 125w during flower.

I was all set to order some easy ryders, given that I'll only have about 70cm grow height max (if you take into account the pot height, the lights on the roof of the cabinet, etc.. I figure I could probably fit 3 easy ryders in there at once.

Does anyone know if the height is sufficient for a Northern Lights plant (or better 2 plants)? Will I get a higher yield from 2 short NLs, or 3 decent easy ryders?

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks. I had already read through your journal - nice work, btw.

I guess because this will be my first grow, I'm a little scared to start bending my plants in half.

So you suggest NL with some lst, rather than a few Low/Easy ryders?

Thanks for the input. Subscribed to your journal.
