Ok this will be my first grow. I have 5 feminized white widow seeds that I got from attitude seed bank. I would like to grow all 5. My question is what size box would I need to make for it to happen. I was thinking something 5ft high, 3ft wide, 3ft long. I’m also using a 400wt MH bulb for veggie growth and a 400wt HPS for flowering. Would this box be a good size? Also if anyone has any another suggestions (as this is my first grow) would be greatly aspirated. Thanks! :mrgreen:

Hey i just finished my first crop a month ago. I built myself a grow box 3x3x5.5H. I started with about 10 and worked my way down to 4, i think 5 were males and 1 died. Anyway i would say you should maybe make it 4x4x6 if your able (I wasn't). Also i used about 15 cfls, so i don't have experience with MH or HPS as far as heat and space issues go.

By the way i just ordered 5 blue cheese, 5 ultra haze #1 and 10 jock horror from attitude. How did they work out for you?

good luck

Hey thanx for your input I kinda thought I should make it a little bigger. I first ordered 10 northern light seeds from nirvana and a few days later I ordered white widow seeds from attitude. I got my attitude seeds in about 7 working days (I live on the east coast) and im still waiting on my seeds from nirvana. I am very impressed with attitude as I will probally always order from them. Also what did you make your box out of?

Ya I live on the eastside too, hope i get mine in 7 days. I did some research before buying them and heard nirvana wasn't the best to buy from right now. I used 3/8 in plywood, and i think 1 1/2x2 1/2 for the frame.
