Hello All,
I'm brand spanking new to this forum and a first time grower.
I'm in the process of designing a stealth grow cabinet and and have a few questions.
My plan is to build a box 4 ft high x's 5 ft wide x's 30" deep.
I plan on using Gold Skunk seeds in a SOG from Doc Bush as they don't require any veg time plus they finish fast at 42 days from rooted clone.

First question; The literature states that the plant will produce up to 26 gms in a "tight Sea of Green", So how tight is tight? The plan is to place 24 plants in tall 6" square pots in a 2' x 4' area or 18 plants in 8" pots.
Furthermore the box will be lit with 3 T5 HO lights per row, 2 warm (3000K) and one cool (6500K) or Actinic bulb.
With 3 T5's per row this gives 15,000 lumens (initial) spread over the entire row of 4 ft.
Is this enough to flower with? I can add more lights if needs be.
I plan on using commercial fixtures instead of a gawdawfully priced unit from a hydro store.
There's a place online that sells 98% reflective specular aluminum in 2' x's 4' sheets and plan to fashion my own reflectors and am going to paint the inside of the box with 90%+ elastomeric paint (rubberized roofing paint)
Also, I've read tons about uVb light and am still in the air about it. Some say it's bull, others say it's da bomb. Any further insight would be appreciated.
I see there is still a lot of debate whether T5's can produce stony nugs and was wondering about other peoples success stories and how they did it.
As far as nutes, the plan is to go all organic using Advanced Nutrients Iguana Juice Bloom as my base with Final Flush at the end. I may add some Sensizym as well. First grow = K.I.S.S.
That's it for now. All comments are appreciated
