Hello this is my first time ever posting so please bear with me lol. Im starting out with 3 Auto Flowering Northern Lights seeds in my 6 sq/ft closet. And I just wanna make sure I know how to do everything before I start. So Ive been been reading tons and tons of forums and guides and I think I can really do this. Ill be growing in Coco Coir with Perlite in 3 gallon Smart Pots and using Canna Coco A&B for the nutes. The only thing im really worried about screwing up is lighting, since that is the major factor of quality and amout of yield. Ive read that 7000 lumens per sq ft is ideal for quality buds. So I need 42,000 lumens cause ill be growing in a 6 sq/ft closet. Im using 11x65w CFL bulbs getting at max of 44,000 lumens, also im mixing the 6500K & 2700K lights for both growth stages. I just want to make sure that this lighting will be fine for my 3 plants and my set up is good for a first time grower.. one more thing since its Auto Flowering what light cycle should i be using? Should i do 18/6 during the Veg stage like regular or just jump straight to 12/12 as soon as they sprout? Please any advice would help and be greatly appreciated!
