Hi Everyone
This is my 2nd grow. They're so right when they say you have alot to fail with and learn the first grow, gave me a pretty clear plan for what I want my 2nd time around, would just need some advice please.

Seeds Just came in the mail from attitude. This is what I'll be choosing from

All are Feminized
OG Kush x 6 from Reserva Privada
Headband x 1 from Reserva Privada
Bubble Cheese x 1 from Big Buddha Seeds
Super Lemon Haze x 1 from Green House Seeds

and the freebies...

II Diavolo x 1 from Delicious
Northern Light Blue x 1 from Delicious
Sugar Black Rose x 1 from Delicious
Easy Sativa x 1 from UFO
Fast Nevilles x 1 from UFO
Purple Maroc x 1 from UFO



Starting from seed, under a few cfls until big enough to be put under an HID. Either a 400 or 600 watt MH, have not decided yet. I already have 1000 watt hps for flowering but I want a pair so I can always have plants vegging and flowering. If you have advice on which I should get I'd appreciate it. I know the 600 watt is most effecient lumen per watt, but will I need that much coverage for vegging before flowering?

When out of seedling stage I'll be moving them to 3 gallon grow bags. Half bottom filled with Subcool's super soil recipe. Top half organic soil, like he says to do.

2010 Revised Super Soil Recipe

Again, not sure on numbers. I plan to only veg a month so I can keep them in the 3 gallons pots through flowering, to avoid stressing and to keep smaller. Since space is not an issue, I'm growing in a large room, 20' x 13' how many plants can I flower under a 1000 watt hps. I won't be topping at all, just going for natural colas.

I appologize for this repeat question I'm sure its been asked before but I've been reading my books and searching online and its been a little hard finding a definate answer.


So any advice on what wattage mh light and how many 3 gallons pots I could flowering under the 1000 watter

i guess a 400 mh for vegging is enough for a 1000w flower room. the 1000 can cover an area of 5x4 it depend how long you veg them to now how many you fit. since you won't top i suggest you grow some 10 plants and dont veg them long just bend the taller ones to make more even light coverage

A 400watt CMH(ceramic metal halide) would be a nice bulb for it. Nice tight nodes that just explode in flower.
