idk if i should just go with the 5 chronic or 3 and the 2 freebies. but my concern is dont different strains grow different ?

different strains grow at different rates. But you just want to make sure the sativas aren't around the indicas or the sativa will tower over the indica and take all the light. But two indicas will be different sizes. Two seeds of the same strain will be different sizes even.

wouldnt worry that much...you gonna do 5 buckets in the tent yes? 5 chronics would be ok in there they are small enough ive heard ...ive smoked it and it was great as well....i got 1 in an attitude freebie last year but it died on me would have liked to grow it

I'm using a 250 watt in a GL60 which is 24"x24" with great results using a single waterfarm. As for the intake fan it's not needed with a tent the top mounted exhast fan will pull air in from the bottom.

Vacuum from top fan pulls air from outside the tent through the bottom intakes up through the tent out the top.

Over kill with hte venetilation for just a 250. Ive got my 600w lummatek on in a 3x3 tent with just a clip on fan it stays at 78f with the tent door barly open.

Get a 600w!!!!

a hydrohut 4x4 with a tall boy carbon filter 6" connected to a blockbuster 6" ducting out the tent to a 6" inline fan at 424cfm ducting out the room up to the attic. the reflector is connected to a 250w lumatek and i got a 250w mh conversion bulb for veg time. i also have 5 bubbleboy single shot dwc and for intake a 6" inline duct fan outside the tent ducting into the grow tent to bring fresh air in. i was wondering if thats a good start for my first grow? or am i missing anything ? will 250w be to hot for a 4x4 area?

i would be glad to get any tips and advice to have a succesful first grow. im also having a hard time understanding what lsting means and how to do that. cause i do understand its a good method to grow healthier and better. i want to have everything up and running for when my seeds arrive.

Diffrence bwteen a 400w and a 600w is about 50 bucks and a 33% increase in light and much more bud denisty then a 400w. Ive started with a 400, and wish i just got the 600 from the get go. You can dim it anyway, no sense in wasting money on a 400. I got my lumatek for 168 with free shipping, and its the new eballast lumateks that are multi watt and dimmable.

And yes, i still have my 400w ballast and hood, because i couldnt sell it for worth anything after. Wish i had just spent the extra 50 bucks back then

thanks everyone for the advice but as a first time grower im thinking bout going with the 400w ballast as my first time and see how it goes untill i get some experience. I am stuck on how the feeding process goes as well im getting the fox farm 3 pack formula and dont understand how often to feed it and how using the bubble boy sing shot dwc. i know im just asking questions but im trying to do all my research before i just burn or grow my plants bad.
