ok there it is ...my grow room is a locker 3 foot by 6 with a hight of 8 foot wich i got to 3 by 3 by 8 ...i painted the wall with a color called super white ( suposed to reflect light more than flat white )
my lighting system goes like this
:arrow:1- 150w hps light
:arrow:2 -2 foot 24w t5
:arrow:1 -4 foot 54w t5
by my calculation it should be around 23 000 lumens ( i think )
the t5 are on the wall 1 by side ( one side left empty ) and the hps will be on the top im planning to grow one plant at the time
maybe 2 dunno yet still waiting for my seeds to come in i ordered some :joint: jack herer

so what do you guys think ?¿?¿?¿?¿

the box is 3 feet by 6 feet by 8 high? & you are using only 3x3? if so, your lights are marganal. will the HPS be movable so it can sit right above the plants? or set up shelves so the plant can be brought up to the light.
what about heat? what temp does the cab sit at after running the lights for a few hours? how about ventalation? plants need to breathe. best to get this worked out b4 you put a plant in.

the plants will grow..but take forever to flower..maybe get a light mover for the 150 or just another 150 if you can. MRmaDCow up there brings up several valid points also.. not to mention a carbon filter..JH will take like 15 weeks to flower in..maybe more..

I absolutely recommend against growing only one plant. I just did the same thing, she was 15 days into flower and hermied. Wasted a total of 5 weeks in the process. Look in my sig for my current setup in the same cabinet. You know that saying don't put all your eggs in one basket. Well don't put all your hope in one plant :wall:

yes you got its a locker 3x6x8 and im only using 3x3 but its not boxed i only put a division 5 foot high with nothing on top so the air can circulate in the entire room (3x6x8 ) what do you mean by marganal ( frenchy here lol ) the hps is movable so i can keep it as close to the plant as possible along the grow i tested for heat and so far i dont think it will be a problem im in a basement and the floor is concrete but i still have a fan almost 2x2 foot (square fan )

.... what do you mean by marganal ( frenchy here lol ) ....
means almost but not quite enough. it will grow plants but slowly. your lights are good for an area about 2x2 feet.your devider is a good idea. for air movement you need fresh air coming into the box as well as good movement in the box. research the term ventalation, lots of info here.
