Well first and foremost thank you for taking the time to click my post.. Long story short I have been very interested in growing the good 'ol lettuce for quite some time now. Unfortunately due to renting small apartments for the last 3 years.. a grow op was always out of the picture. I have done tons of research over the years on different methods/ Techniques but I'm very aware that research online is no comparison to growing the plants myself. Fortunately I have just closed on my first house and I believe it is time to start growing some lovely ladies 
. Sorry in advance if this post becomes unorganized and I come off as rambling.. I just have so many questions due to the anticipation, I just want this to be setup right the first time.. No corners cut. I have a finished basement with 5 total rooms.. but I have 3 in the back corners which would be ideal for growing.. good ceiling height.. good temps.. good overall size.. window access etc. The dimensions of the 3 rooms where i am thinking about growing are..
1) 10X10 Bedroom
2) 10x5 storage room
3) 8x5 storage room.
I'm pretty positive that I want to go ahead and setup a Veg room and a separate flowering room so I can keep a constant supply ready. I just don't see the use in only one room and a harvest every 4 months as apposed to 2.. I believe i have more than enough space to accommodate both rooms. I guess now is when it gets to the tricky questions.. Plant quantity.. Wattage of lights.. Airflow etc.. But hopefully a couple of you can point me in the right direction. Keep in mind I am unfortunately in a state that does not allow Marijuana for Medical or Recreational use.. so growing smart is my number one priority! I also do not want to act like I know what I'm doing and jump into a 30 plant grow when I've never grown a single plant. I have been thinking about the number of plants that I feel would be a safe/adequate amount for each room and think that 4-6 in veg under a 400w and 6-8 under a 600w in the flower room would work. I know this is totally up to my personal decision but what do you guys think about the above setup light wise? Ideally I would love to get a 6-10 Oz yield every 2 months. I understand that yield is based on a TON of different factors but I believe going into this expecting .5 grams a watt is a realistic expectation. The only reason I have based it on 400 watt in veg and 600 in flower is due to the paranoia level.. I'd like to keep the max lighting watts to 1000-1200 tops. What do you guys think about a safe amount of lighting? I'm starting to think that with the above numbers that I might not being giving the girls ENOUGH light.. but I also don't want to lose out on my overall yield because I left a plant or two out. Another cool thing to know is.. If you had the above two room.. 10x5 and 8x5 right next to each other.. How would YOU set up the space..?!? With the amount of time I've spent "planning" my grow op in my head, I've changed my plan 100's of times and would just love to hear some input on what you would do for a starter room with a comparable layout.. I'm going to go ahead and close this thread.. I have tons more questions but this joint has me rambling.. Thanks for reading!! PEACE LOVE & NUGS!!!
BY THE WAY- I WILL POST PICTURES TOMORROW OF THE TWO SPACES !!
