damn six plants in a 2x2 space i think ive been doubting how close i can grow these things, you got some real good growth goin, nice an bushy thats whatsuppic kinda suck but maybe ill head out today and take some better pictures.
post em later.
thats my plan! two 600s runnin, cooling systems all figure out. gonna have some reeeal nice growthThe difference in price between a 400w and 600w light system is so little
if i were you, i would buy 2x600 watt systems, as it gives you more choice on what bulbs you can run
you can always run 400w bulbs in the 600w systems if you want to save power or lower heat
you can start them with 2x400w then switch to 600w when heavy budding sets in
if you get 2x400 w systems you will be limited to 400w or lower power only
although 2x400w will cover the 7ft space you have, 2x600w will be better aslong as you deal with the extra heat etc from 2x 600
one thing is certain you will need 2 lights to cover 7ft, 1 light will only cover 3-4 ft
good luck![]()
some pics of the veg box. got it from a buddy cost like 40 bucks and opted to use it instead of a tent since it is outside. i can fit the 15 1 gallons in it i think if i moved the power cords off the floor.

damn thats a good amount of space is that the 2x2 or your new one?? i usualy start out vegging in 6" pots until they reach about ten inches or so then i can transplant into bigger pots, (usualy i do 5 gal) and the roots have a rediculous amount of space to grow into, i get some monstter plants they get an extra 30-40 inches of growth space, but thats a nice little room. i could defenetly fit more than 4 plants in a 3x8
yahhh thats what i did with the floring in my room, i just went over to home depot an picked up a couple of floor boards an clean up is a breeze, thats a damn good idea on headin over there for the veg grow box i could make somethin real nice, wood is cheap to so like you said it would be cheap as hell, id most likely just run the 250 mh in there since i already got it, ill work on gettin some more fans and ducts so i can get that goin nicely, do u think one 250 can accomidate 8 plants in veg? caus im sure the 3x8 could accomidate 8 plants if im running the two 600s, id pretty much double my progressi try to stay away from fem seeds cuz they tend to hermie easier than normal. plus u can breed reg seeds to get a ton of extra seeds. but occasionally i find something i want to try. lol. im up to 6 or 7 strains i think. i like variety. lol.

i try to stay away from fem seeds cuz they tend to hermie easier than normal.
i never said fem seeds are bad. its just been my experience to stay away from them becuz of the tendency to hermie more so than reg seeds. its in the genetics of the seed thats how they make them fem. with hermied true female plants. if the seeds arent done right when being made they will most likely hermie. read the forums. peeps complain all the time from fem seeds turning gaga on them. organic had some go gaga on him too recently if im correct not to mention i had two half pound plants go gaga on me cuz the genes werent stable enough. thats all im saying. and its personal prefference. i just have to much shit in flower to risk fem seeds unless they have been tried and tested first.
and yeah a box is cheep to build compared to buying a tent and u can build it to any size u really want and it will last u longer if u build it right. a 250 will cover about a 3x4 area comfortably. u can veg 8 under it as long as they arent super huge. lol. but once u start going bigger than the 3x4 ur available light footprint will have to grow too and the 250 wouldnt cover much more than the 3x4 and give u decent growth. a 2x2 would be ballin or even a 3x3 would be perfect.
on craigslist search on the left side of the screen for "600 light, 600 ballast or 600 hps" all of which should give u awesome posts..
oh and before u buy7 ur wood and stuff plan it out. lol. draw the dimensions on paper. cuz having to go back to home depot for another sheet of plywood cuz u screwed the plans up in ur head cuz u were high. lmao. it might have happened to me.
also. 2 120cfm pc fans help and work amazing for my 2x2 box. cost me about 10 bucks a piece at radioshack.
