a 1000w HPS handled my whole room 6'x8'x7' with 25 plants so you should be cool if you only have one room use the 1000w thru veg and flower if not try to get a 400w MH and use a couple compacts for secondary lighting low to the ground to create total light penatration from the top and bottom also for 8-10 plants a 600w HPS will work fine but its a good bet you will eventualy grow more plants so get the 1000w anywayPUFF MONKEY said:

Lowelz,
Let the buds dry for about a week outside of the jar, once you can break the stem and it makes a snap, and doesnt just bend, their dry. THEN you put them in the jar for the coming week, just open the jar every now and then. Your gonna have 390 grams of moldy bubble gum if you dont get them out of those jars soon!

.. untill the stem/stalk is dry enough to "snap" when bent...lowelz said:
6X8=48 sq. ft. @ 5,000 lumen p/sq/ft("optimal" as recommended by grow guides and veteran growers) = 240,000 lumens
One, 1K hps emits around 145,000 lumens "new".
..or 145,000 into 48 sq ft. = 3,000 L/p/ sq ft(minimum recommended)

if you want to cure them buds the best way possible,hang dry them for like 5 days,then put them in paperbags with plates in the bottom of them,put a few buds per bag and be sure to open them up a couple times a day to get fresh air in. after you paper bag them for a week or so,then put them in the jars.and just remember,the longer they stay curing in them jars,the better the weed will taste.(aa long as theyre not in there for years) like after a couple months of curing in the jars,them buds will taste delicious. hope this helps ya out,if you have further ?'s check out the curing and harvesting part of the forum.-peace

unless you are in an exceptionally arid climate, brown bagging them 'now', could promote mold. "Open air" either hanging or on a screen with abundant air circulation, is paramount in more humid climates.lowelz said:
I have seen the 'bagging' method recommended a few times, but that procedure also recommends either removing the buds from he bags daily, and rotating their order, or reaching in and 'stirring' repositioning the buds daily to aid in preventing mold.
I prefer NOT to handle the buds, as little as possible. Every time you rough them up, handle them, you damage, destroy, or knock the trichomes off.
I don't recall if it was DJ Short or one of the other "guru's" states that more good bud is damaged by mis-handling "post" harvest, than during grows.

so what your saying is i was at the minimum recomended for flowering in that room and for more optimal conditions i should add another 1000w or 600w HPSHick said:
will i get that much more production going from 3,000 to 5 or 6000 L/p/sq. ft.

Pothead420 If your dropping all that cash on your grow it might be worth picking up some Co2 I've read it can triple your harvest. I'm planning on doing it for my next grow I just invested too much in this one so I couldn't do it.
Thanks for the help guys.
