Thanks for your reply .See how it looks on the network cost when it comes to led lighting

Hi mate,

The answer is as much light as possible without having heat problems. Tokage has summed it up nicely. I would use a 400 watt HID, as long as you have no problems with heat which means you will need excellent ventilation.

all the best,

john

Hi

What is the difference between, a reflector made of perforated aluminum and cool tube reflector.

I mean which will be better to match ventilation ? ,whereas a small space and it will not be assembled air filter

Mr negative is right, you will not need it if you use a 250 watt. But what a cool tube does is pass cool air over the hot bulb, and then this air is exhausted outside.

A cool tube used with a good exhaust fan can reduce the heat in a small space by around 70 %.

If you have just started growing, then maybe you should start with a 250 watt H.I.D., and grow a few plants and then see if you want to upgrade to a cool tube and a 400 watt light.

if you have anymore questions just ask us;

take care,

john

Thanks for the advice probably will use 250 watts H.I.D., I know that the better the light the more efficient cultivation and as I was to the end with this light .I lost the weight / power ?

hi mate,

It is true, the more light(up to 1000 watts per square meter), the higher will be your yield, and the plants grow faster.

all the best

Hi

So I'll stay to the end of the cultivation of 250 watts. Do not lose the quality, but more will it take to harvest.

What I mean is that I will be practiced for the first time records with artificial lighting.

Way I previously used a fluorescent lamp for the first two weeks as the little plant,was growing strong enough to survive in nature,

exaggerate it in a safe place. Such a process could not yield a fully enjoy . At night ,the temperature drops dramatically and J dreading it to freeze.

J can not say as exited as a small child witch a lollipop because the taste and the power was marvelous,but seeing the pictures on the forum and I am

impressed. J also wanted to gather such a beautiful harvest :)

The rule of thumb is 40watts per square foot of space is the minimum amount of light needed to grow pot. So if you have a 2 foot by 2 foot room you have 4 square feet which means you need 160watts at least for that space for a plant to survive. If you want good pot double that.

3 plants will probably be a little tight, but i agree with the guys above ;) Next time maybe go for 2 and make them a little bigger ;)

good luck man hope we'll see that online :)

About us

Strain Hunters is a series of documentaries aimed at informing the general public about the quest for the preservation of the cannabis plant in the form of particularly vulnerable landraces originating in the poorest areas of the planet.

Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilisation all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threat of extinction. One day these plants could be helpful in developing better medications for the sick and the suffering. We feel it is our duty to preserve as many cannabis landraces in our genetic database, and by breeding them into other well-studied medicinal strains for the sole purpose of scientific research.
