yO,
I was wondering if it was possible to grow 2 pot plants with these parameters.
2x1 ft space
refective walls
2 5 gal buckets
2 foot fluoresent (is it possible to grow w/ this 1 light) (UVA)
fan for ventilation
heat lamp (from a lizard tank)



I was confused about bud too... Like... where i live theres bud called "middies" or mid-grade bud i guess. This bud has seeds in it. I was planning to use those but would i still have to sex the plants of the final product has seeds in it anyways? Do males have seeds? How come some bud has seeds and some doesnt. Also how much bud would i yeild from 1-2 plants.

I know their a bunch of jumbled questions but my questions are really random :)

First off,

Allow us to welcome you to the site. Here you can find the answers to those very questions. You would not hurt yourself at all by reading in the forums, also take a look at the site rules, they are few and easy to go with.
Now that being said, I'm still wondering how you plan to squeeze two 5 gallon buckets into a 2x1 space ?
While some of our growers do practice growing in very small spaces, I think that you might end up disapointed with the results of cramming two plants into that small of an area. However depending on how tall this space is then yes two can fit tightly.
1. Your container will have to be a lot smaller period.
2. If you do a lot of LST, and proper pruning the plant will grow upwards, not so much outwards
3. gap between the lights and the top of your grow
4. How tall is this space ?

It all adds up, and unless you are real good at minature growing your gonna be having difficulties at best.
I would encourage you to rethink this, and see if there is another viable solution.

Seeds carry the genetic disposition that says either male or female, and often enough with stress you can end up with a hermie.
Yes, you will still have to sex them. and NO, males produce pollen
Some bud has seeds in it either because the owner left a male in and alone with his girl, or it is just swag from a field, or he is looking to have seeds himself and after he has what he wants try to sell with the extra wieght to it, but we don't talk about selling or buying here. We are all about growing our own and smoking what we grow.

Either way you want to look at it, pollen got in there.
Test run what ever space you do come up with, even CFL's throw some heat, and you might not need to use a heat suppliment.
Keep us in on how your doing.

smoke in peace

hmmmmm my closet has a 15 by 28 inch space.

I have a 15 watt fluorescent tube and fixture. Is that all i need for growing from germination to harvesting? I just change light cycles when i want to flower right?

I would say go and spend about $20 at Home Depot and get two T12 40 watt double light ballasts.
