Hello beginner here, never grown before. I bought a 1000 watt switchable ballast M.H./H.P.S. Im looking to buy my 4''x4''x7'' grow tent for 6 mature plants,12 imature plants legal medical maximum limit for me in calif. I want to know if i can start from seed with my M.H. or H.P.S just keeping it far enough away from the seedlings until they get stronger. Also will this be ok for clones bought from my local dispensary? Thanks CW.

12 is not your legal medical max.

1000 watts is not necessary for seedlings. A window seal or a small fluorescent will do to start.
It will be fine to start them under 1000w if they are far enough away. Like 3ft.
But, this will still be more light then you need.
That's why lots of growers use multiple lights at multiple wattages.
IMO 400w MH is the best for veg. 600 if your going big. :)
 
I have 1000 watt light in a 5x4x8 space with six purple berry clones what do u guys think will work better letting them grow as tall as hey can 3-4 feet or scrog what do u guys do and about how much do you guys yield

1+ grams per watt is always a great goal for an accomplished grower. Easier with indica then sativa, but great hybrids out there too.

Cheers :leaf:

Just thought I would share the progress with you ... got a new carbon filter set up and installed it.

Tks guys... been super excited with this grow.. my first indoor. This site has been a huge help in getting me off to the good start. I did loose 1 of my ICE though which cheesed me off. Damn thing just mutated all to hell on me after sprouting and getting it's first set of leaves. So now I am down to 3 of the NL and 1 ICE which I am hoping turns out female. But on the upside... with the height of my grow box I will be able to grow these ones bigger now that I have the extra room.

Cheers,
BR.

Anyone else have issues with heat in their grow box? I have 3 fans on my set up right now and the temp is still 88-90 .... just can't seem to get it down any further.

Cheers,

I have a 6" inline fan pulling 465 cfm's over the bulb and exiting the room. Keeps things nice and cool. I use a homemade cool tube on it.
