i knew i was alright, hopefully with the HPS i should pull 7+ grams a cut, so i should be looking at 4 ounces minimum?

i know my white widow and i know when to turn into flowering, so im pretty much diald in appart from ive never had experience with HID before.

How to calculate square footage of your cab

How to calculate square footage of your cab

First: Measure the width (side to side) of the inside of your cab in inches.

Example: Width = 14"

Second: Measure the depth (front to back) of the inside of your cab in inches.

Example: Depth = 14"

Third: Multiply the width (in inches) by the depth (in inches)

Example: 14 x 14 = 169

Fourth: Divide the above answer by 144 to get square footage

Example: 169 / 144 = 1.17361, I round to the nearest hundredth, ie 1.17 sq ft.

So Cork144 at 1.17 sq ft, you are in.

no doesnt have to be same strain, one time veg and one time harvest.
 
id love to compete in this one but my small flowering cab only has like 50w of compact floros and my big room is 800watt hps, if i thought i had a chance id be in but i cant wait to see the results.
 
this was my old box i started growing in. 1sq. ft, 2 ft tall. Strain was a sativa bagseed and i also had two other bagseeds that followed soon after that were more indica dominant. It had 182 watts of mixed spectrums of cool, warm, and daylight. I got probably 1 oz. total. oh yeah...its organic

Funny, I asked in the original thread if I could supplement my 70 watter with cfl's. I was told no. I went out and bought new lights because of that.:noway:
