SQUARE FEET AND CUBIC FEET ARE NOT THE SAME THING SPORT, THE HEIGHT OF THE SPACE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AMOUNT OF FLOOR SPACE. Have you seen dumb and dumber?? :mrgreen:
All of us are really trying to help you, that doesn't seem possible. I guess if you want our opinion you will give it to us??:blsmoke: VV
yea I kinda just figured that out sorry that I missunderstood you but I don't wnat to do just a level grow I wanna try to use as much space that I have aka less space waste:peace:

square feet == 6 x 2 = 12 square feet
cubic feet == 6 x 2 x 7 = 84 cubic feet

rough approximations however..
seedlings 500 lumens per sq ft
veg 2500 lumens per sq ft
flower 10,000 lumens per sq ft

in flower for your 6x2 area you will want about 120,000 lumens - you could get away with 600w hps on a light mover

you might be best to divide the space up into clone, moms and flower areas but youll still have a power issue it sounds like.

i have seen some 400 watt solar panels on ebay. $$.. but 2 of those running 2 400watt hps would solve your problem
sorry but I don't do ebay since I live in Canada but I have been thinking about doing solar panels. I do have a 7 feet tall , about 2 feet deep by about 1 and a half feet deep area behind my door , I have my entertament center that has a small enough space that I can keep about 16 4'' pots in and have plants about 2 feet tall for both the levels , I don't have a space porblum when I can use things as a grow space. I might want to turn a small area for breeding but for now its still a while , but I will think about soing the solar panels but I only have 1 window in my room so I dk how well that will work out

Well... wish I could come and take some of those plants from you because you might only want to do like 2 maybe 3 plants with you're cfl's hahahah. Honestly, work at your lighting problem... once you get the light you're going to have heat problems/ventilation issues.... once that's done you're going to want to buy metering devices to measure temps in the room as well as humidity, if you have CO2 then you're gonna need a meter for that. You say you've done some reading but I'm sure no one in their right mind would try to germ that many seeds even for their first grow. I am running a 400w HPS in a room that's probably 4' x 4' x 8'. I have both intake and exhaust and the room is in the basement and I still have heat issues. I actually have a 1000w HPS that just sits around right now because i'm scared of the heat. Anyways, point I'm trying to get across is... WHY WASTE ALL THOSE SEEDS? Get your shit together, or start handing away some of those little girls cause you won't be able to do them all.

sorry I haven't been on my gf was here but any ways , all the seeds poped out of the Jiffy pucks at once and they are already working on the 2nd set of actual leafs and none of them are streched been giving them low dosage of B-1 Thrive and well hence the '' Thrive '' part cuz they love it and I have close to 200w of CFL for a space of 2 feet deep , 2 feet high by 3 feet wide with poly for reflector and its right as heck, I already have 4 fans going 24/0 to make sure the temp stays at a proper temp , and I'm not going to just give away seedlings that are already 2 days old from poping out of the ground working on their 2nd nodes in not even half a week from germ to leafs that's like giving away a plant for $5 for free not gonna happen but they are looking awsome and love the lights , I have a misture of 2,700k and 5,600k so they are thriving. and I germed all of them because I did a couple test ones and they germed fast and why not germ them all and find out that maybe 1 or none out of the 5 seeds I germed were females so that would meen I'm gonna have to waist more time germ. more seeds

What if they all turn out to be females though? Do you really expect that many of them to be males? Last time I got seeds I put 4 in the ground and came out with 1. That 1 grew to be the size of me taking up a space of prolly 3'x3'x6'. Even if you come out with 15 females I would think that you're going to want to up you're lighting. I have never used cfl's before so maybe i'm wrong.

As far as what I said before about you "giving me some plants." It was in the sense that you are going to run out of room quick. Or maybe not because of you're lighting. and $5 for a plant hahahahah I think I would be helping you out more than you helping me out! There are a few friends around here that are more than happy to share clones and diff. strains just so we can do an end comparison. I really think that you are going to run out of room that's all... and with that many plants I hope that you keep the best and ditch the rest and then clone from there. Sorry for the harsh words of thinking that you are going to run out of room and I hope you're grow has the best of luck for you.

if they all turn out to be females then I'll be mad cuz I want some makes of each strain. I already have 13 lights for the seedlings and still hooking up a few more. and CFLs are nice because I have a big 42 bulb about 2 to 3 inches from the top of 2 seedlings and they love it and they aren't getting heat stress or burn and I'm gessing by the end of this month I'll have plants about 5'' tall but if I keep giving then B-1 Thrive and slowly introduce pure nutes they might be taller then 5''

so pro do you have your pots ready to trans plant.
they grow alot of root in first s 3 week.
thats the reason i dont use peat pellots right in to 500 mil beer cup..
less trans that tap root need to grow.....
you will get an avrage of 50%males ... pick 2 good phenos from each and make some seeds.
good luck with those differrent kinds...
i once got about 5 differt kinds..planted 1/2 what i had .. and got a little overwhelmed with 5 diff kinds

oh yea I made sure I had enough pots. I'm gonna make sure I pick the best when making seeds , I don't want to garbage smoke , having to wait for the seeds to be old enough to plant and take clones off of isn't worth the waisted time , energy and money to get garbage smoke
