Im looking to do an indoor grow in my half open/half closed basement (island living makes basements half indoor half outdoor weird stuff)
Basically stats are gonna be a 3' by 3' wide grow box about 5ft tall.
will be growing at maximum 3 plants in this box
straings: northern lights, some haze, and red cherry berry depending on how NL and the Haze grow.
nothing crazy just basic indoor grow plant in soil with a timer for the light, no hydroponics or anything to complicated this first time.
Now the question is should i go CFL or HPS or MH for such a small grow?
And if I was to choose each one how many watts would i need for such a small grow box?
i know CFLs are the cheapest, but at this point should i just get a 400 wat HPS and use it for the entire grow and avoid having to use multiple CFL's?
or for my first grow should i stick with CFL?
If i do choose CFL How many lights should be used?
AND what actual wattage should each light be for Vegetive growth, and flowering?
If i choose HPS what wattage should i choose?
Simply put, If i choose either CFL MH or HPS what are the minimum basics i should get to succesfully grow only a small head stash of plants.
This is for personal hobby growing not to make money, just want to grow some sollid nuggets.
