Hi there , i just finished the work on the cabinet , mylar in the cab done , 2 x 120mm Arctic Cooling Exhaust Fan done , and got 2 x 75mm Fan inside the cabinet for airing done.

And i have a question about lighting. I'm going to with 2-3 plants ( Laughing Buddha , White Widow and maybe Big Bud ). And I got 2x 150W 6500k CFL's (9000lm each) and i ordered 2x 75w 2700k cfl (5500 lm each). So is that enough to start with 2x 150w 6500k cfl with veg. and then i'll switch to 2x 75w 2700k. Is that ok? And just want to know when i should change veg to flowering?

I got hydroton for after germinating and got some fertilizer liquid like grow , bloom and micro. So just need a help about these. And i want to start today so whats the route i should go with it? :)


Thanks already , sorry for my bad english and get high! :)

What are the dimensions of the cabinet?

Is this gonna be soil or hydro?

Your question is a bit vague man.....what exactly do you want to know? When to start using the fertilizers?

Yeah sorry about that. Its like 1m height , 75cm width and 45cm depth. And its gonna be hydro.

So;
- is it enough lighting i got for 2-3 plants or too much? ( 2 x 150w CFL 6500k , 2 x 75w CFL 2700k ) ( 6500k's = 9000lm each , 2700k's = 5500lm each )
- when i should to start using fertilizers?
- when i should change bulbs to 2700k for flowering?
- and when i should to start flowering steps? And what i should to do for and in the flowering?

Thanks again. :)

1. use low doses of grow fertilizer/nutrients in your hydro reservoir ONLY AFTER 2 WEEKS OF HEALTHY VEG GROWTH!!!!

2. as far as switching the light cycle from veg to flowering, most people wait till their plants are at least 16" - 24"... it really depends on how tall you would like your girls

question 2 and 3 are kind of tied into the same answer.... but most manufacturers of nutrient lines have feeding schedule charts on their websites as far as how much per gallon(for hydro reservoirs) and how often you should be feeding. a good beginner nutrient line thats real easy to work with with plenty of information on feeding schedules go check out GENERAL HYDROPONICS General Organics line.

You want to switch to the flower lights when you switch to 12/12 light schedule.
When you switch is up to you but everyone says plants stretch a lot in flower so have some space for that but the thing about micro or cab grows is trying to get the most out of your space.

Thanks all of your answers. From now on I just wondering about lightning. Is that too much or enough for 2-3 plants?

I got : 2 x 150w CFL 6500k , 2 x 75w CFL 2700k ( 6500k's = 9000lm each , 2700k's = 5500lm each )

That's good. Rule of thumb is 100 actual watts per plant but 50 can be good enough if that's all you can get.
Id say try to get bigger flower bulbs if you can tho.

Just started yesterday and seems germinating gonna be finish soon but need a quick answer about watering? I just gonna give water to plant by myself with spray or bottle. So how much and how recently should i water the plants?
