starting a cfl setup, need some help

Hey guys

i've been experimenting with 3 random seeds under one 26 watt cfl each (i got six 26 watt cfl's but plants r too small to benefit from them since i've mounted them to a white drawer with 3 inches space between them). However i'm not satisfied with my current setup so i've been looking around for some ideas for a long time. Today i ordered some wood and i'm gonna make my own grow furniture sized 1m (deep) x 0.8m (wide) x 1.5m (tall). However i got some questions about it.

I will be growing lowryders #2 in it

1. How many lowryders should i fit in that space?
2. I'm gonna upgrade my wattage. Should i get something like 6 125 watt, or 4 200 watt? or whatever else u think?
3. I'm thinking of keeping the 6 26ers for the sides, will they be enough?
4. Is my wattage and number of light depending on the number of plants or on the size of the "room"?
5. Will it make any difference to have the 26ers on the sides? since lowryder is short and develops 1 main cola mostly (from what i've read) or r they gonna cost me more than they'll give back (money-wise space-wise)
6. Should i get a proper commercial vent or a few pc fans can do the trick?

i can keep going but i dont wanna bore u with my noobiness

thanx in advance to any that answers

nlite....

get 4 200 watt pls !!!!! 2 Purple 1 Red 1 Blue.......

yes adding the 6 would be very nice asset to your grow room..... better than nothing.... make them grow fatter

Get a nice Ventilator that turns from up to down side to side... 360° fan...... costs 40 dollars

you only gona grow 1 plant ? if you are you could grow about 3 in there.... dont know about the space....... But im sure you will get more yield than your bills.... lets say you get 200 gramms out of one baby ... 2000 dollars.... u do the math now...

i've grown plants that had 500 grams yield....

Please go on and ask questions... im stoned atm....

for the size space which is going to bigger then you think! a couple of pc fans should do it,i have never grow lowryder but i would guess about 16 plansts mybe more!

Nah i'm gonna grow lowryders in there just to create a quick stash so that i dont have to pay for it, then i'm gonna go to more serious strains. Since lowryders r kinda short (and i can also make sure thay dont get bushy), i was thinking of growing up to 6-8 in there. u think its possible?

wow, 16 plants!!! that would be sweeeet.

when you say 125 do you mean envirolights or household cfls?

btw i know 1.5 meters is too tall for a cfl setup, but i'm planning to split it in two for seedlings and veg l8r on when i get a HPS setup for flowering

envirolights ofc

cool to be honest if your going to use that many go for hid light setup!

Y i know its much more efficient for my case. I still got another week before mats and seeds arrive, to make up my mind. However i live in greece and temps, especially around summer (which lasts 6 months), r too high, surpassing 40 celcius easily, so heat can be a big problem

^^ i love greeece ! Damn i want to sit in the warm weahteR !

oh my god ! im jealous

even with 10 cfls in there your goin to need good ventilation, forget pc fans and look for a good inline fan min of 200 cmph, that way you can control the temp easyer by turning it up and down

me to DWR me too! lol

^^ very nice country

love the islands of greece the most... ahhh i love just sitting on the cliff side watching the water .... or on top of the highest hill there... glance at the world !! BEAUTYFULL !!!

I would love to be there .... I found my new home ! greece, after so long i finally know where i will be going to live GRREEECCEEEE

LoL, i got to agree, greece is one of the best places but only for vacations, it sucks big time living in greece, trust me. It has some ups, for example, absolutely no control over seeds or marijuana but it has much more downs, like the minimum wage of 650 euro per month, lol, and 3 more LOL. If any greek politician is a pothead and reads this, i want u to know, YOU ALL SUCK.


p.s. sorry for the cursing
