Hello :)
I want to grow 1-2 sativa dominant plants indoors and because of my poor english I'm getting lost in all the guides..
Can anyone please tell me what equipment do I need to grow 1-2 plants in the Ultimate way? meaning getting the best quality buds and the highest yield out of the plants.

How many/which light bulbs?
How many gallons must each pot be?
Anyhing else..? fans etc.

Thank you!

Either build a room within a room i found this works best you can have more control over heat
or a method i am not keen on but sometimes its the only way,a large tent.
What ever ya do don't fall into the frame of mind that the more plants that you do the more
you will get yeild wise sometimes less is more.

Thank you both for answering me!
I'm moving to a different apartment and am not sure of the specifics of the place i'm gonna grow them at. probably in a closet, I would love to hear your opinions on how big a closet has to be to accommodate two sativas.

I will grow them at the start of june when temperatures here are at about 85
F) and get to 90F) in august.
I'm mostly interested in the pot size and the lights. Here good light bulbs are really expensive so I want to bring some with me when I come back from the US.

[/FONT]You mean a 600 HPS light above each plant?
I've heard it's better to surround the plants with a few weaker lights rather then just two strong ones on top. Also I've heard that having light bulbs of different wattage and spectrum can help the plant.
I will also need different lights for the vegetative stage right?

I did two sativas in a 3x2x9 closet I started with 1000th but heat was just to much to handle so I dropped down to a 4oow still needed a 6 in fan to keep heat at below 80
I did nft aero so pots where 5 gallon pickle buckets . Total of 3 one each plant 1 for a res all with cycling pumps not drains

I didn't fully understand you perfectroller89..

I did two sativas in a 3x2x9 closet
Your closet was 3x2 (foot?) on the ground and 9 (foot?) tall? was it too small?

I started with 1000th but heat was just to much to handle so I dropped down to a 4oow still needed a 6 in fan to keep heat at below 80
How many 400w bulbs did you have and how many fans? wouldn't it be good to have something between 400w and 1000w (600/800). Do all your bulbs have the same spectrum/lumens?

I did nft aero so pots where 5 gallon pickle buckets
I didn't get that at all.. somebody here said to grow them in 50 liter pots which is 13 gallons, a lot more then 5..

Total of 3 one each plant 1 for a res all with cycling pumps not drains
LOL I'm sorry I didn't understand the first part of this sentence at all, can you explain it to me? also, what are cycling pumps?

There is no secret recipe. And if there is, perfectroller89 sure as hell does not know it.

Asking what is the ultimate way, then saying ok I'm growing them in a small closet is asinine(use a dictionary and look that up.)

You need a foundation, your lost. Read a book in your native language.

Make sure you veg those plants for a while, I'd give them AT LEAST 8 weeks, make sure you SCROGG, or screen of green. 400w MH/HPS would be fine, and use botanicare nutes

sativas grow tall mate...


Get a nice tall closet and veg for 8 weeks or more. then flowering takes forever... Towards 10 weeks of flower, switch the light schedule to 10/14 to finish the plant faster.

You could get a different answer from everyone, however the general consent is that organic is the way to go. Make yourself a strongly ammended soil, let it sit for a good wee while and youre good to go. Make sure the room volume gets renewed every 3 or 4 minutes keep temps around 25C and dont let em drop more than afew degrees when lights go off. You do that youre gonna get some seriously tasty! buds and probably incredibly strong too if you chose a good strain. And talk to them even if its just greeting and saying how good they smell/look/are.
