New Grower New growner need some advice

[botlowsky]

Hello AFN!

At first sorry about my english, its not so good, but I try to do my best.
After a long thinking I decide to make my own.
I have a 40X50X80 cm growing area (in a cupboard) where I want to grow 2 or 3 autos. My space is small, thats why I try to pick short plants. I see some strain, which one I would choose.
-Super Skunk
-Silver Haze
-Green-O-Matic

If I know well this strains is short (40-60cm) and have good quality bud.
Has anyone experiece with this starins? Especially with the skunk and the haze?
Can anyone offer me a substrate what I can buy in a grown shop?

The next thing is the light.
I want to use a 125W CFL grown bulb (10000 lumen) 6500K.
If I read well in AFN, autos can grow and flo only one type of light spectrum (6500K). I know it well?

If I get some answer I will make my order , and I look around in the local grownshops.
Thank you in advance for your help.
I'm realy exited

Welcome to AFN, the only strain I have experience with what you listed is the GOM, you can keep it small and it's very good, I would stay away from haze or sativa dom plants as they can get tall, I can recommend trying Short Stuffs Blue Himalaya, its a very nice strain as well Chronic Ryder by Lowryder.

If you can buy Pro-Mix BX or HP then that's what I would get for the medium.

Do you want to grow organic or with chemical nutrients?

If I read well in AFN, autos can grow and flo only one type of light spectrum (6500K). I know it well 6500k is good for the veg stage,but the flower stage should have 3500k

Thanks.
I dont know yet. I welcome any advice.

Hmmm... I hope I need just one 6500K bulb.
I read autos can be able to flo under 6500K. Its a fake thing?

Don't you mean 2700k Namvet?

Your Auto will flower and bud and finish under just the 6500K. But that spectrum is designed for veg growth. The other, 2700K is designed for flowering. So it would just be better if you could add a flowering bulb after the veg growth finishes.(Around 5 weeks). We're here to help you the whole way. No worries on your English.

Oh, and welcome to AFN, you'll find a ton of help here. Green Vibes on your grow.

What do you think, workable if I use my 125W 6500K , but in the flo period I supplement with (Example) 2X15W or 3X11W 2700K bulb?
The most simpatic strain for me is the Super Skunk. Anyone has experience with it?

And thank you guys!

I would supplement with the 23 actual watt cfls, more lumens to wattage ratio.

I personally use 1 100w 6500k and 1 100w 2700k cfl overhead during the entire grow. During flower I use 4 23w on the sides. Perhaps even more for a tall plant.
