This is my first DIY indoor and the whole setup produces 154W CFL total, will this be able to grow my 2 autoflowers comfortably? Preferably Sweet Skunk Autos site says they can reach up to 3 feet in optimal conditions but I wont expect that my first time around just want to get everything down the first time so I can learn from mistakes if any.

Sounds awesome man, idk what has been going on lately in this forum, nobody is helping the noobs like us. Bumping for you anyway. I'm not a expert, but it definitely sounds like ull have plenty of light. What are you growing in? Also, is it going to have any reflective material? (To keep more light on the plant)

What are the dimensions of your rubbermaid box? I dont think youll be able to grow 2plants with only 150w, well you could but i think itd be better just doing 1 IMHO what soil do you plan on using? And also if height is an issue try LST Trust me it can really help, good luck and im subbed!

I am sub'd on this one. I have the rubbermaid set-up to. I am interested to see how yours turns out! Good luck!

more light=more mass of buds. i would say atleast go for 100w per plant or 10,000 lumens/sqft for flowering.
you can get away with half that for veg tho. good luck check out my thread may give you some idea's.
there is a lot of good info in the stickies at the top of all the different subcategories in the forum.

I think people get tired of posting the same recommendations over and over. For the most part you're not reinventing the wheel, so if you read through a few older threads you can see everything that you'll need to worry about. Just my two cents...

mc130p if people have never been on a forum or use computers much it is intimidating.
but agree 100% everyone not just newbs should read as much as you can.
then ask questions.

The flowers im growing are autoflowers, the size is 60-90cm so im thinking they have the capacity to grow atleast 3 foot. the

box has plenty room for 2 of these im thinking. Just one will be bushier/healthier and the other one will be stretched with less nodes? This is what im thinking??But they seem less light dependant if that makes sense and are growing at the same rate nice and compact

thanks for all your replies ive read them all and will take note. I will be making a journal tomorrow

CLEANED THIS UP

Buuuuuuump --- SWEET SKUNK AUTOS . i guess there considered super autos? cant find much information on them but i know there crossed with critical mass .

All i know is its an early skunk x critical mass auto and it supposedly goes from seed to herb in 7 weeks. I still definitely think you should either just do 1 plant or upgrade your light to maximise yeild, its not like you have to wait ages for the next one, remember more plants doesnt mean more bud. Just MO tho buddy, GL

Ok im gonna end up going 120W atleast to cut budget and do one plant, will keep a journal on how there doing monday!
