Sativa Room ~low running costs~

[OakyJoe]

Hey Folks!

I want to go into Sativa Indoor Growing!

I want to do this with low running costs...

Any Ideas here? I don't want to fire 1k Watts over 16 Weeks... I though on some PL-L or fluorescent tube... but how many and cool or white?

I grow in a 5x7 space with maybe 7' of height. In that room 2 vigorous 100% Sativa hybrids can take over in the end. But before that happens, run some 8 week plants in the room from the start. Use a hood on the light for that part of the grow, Sativas on the edges in containers that are a little smaller than you'd want. Constrict their roots to control growth, all the while training them for when your 8 weekers are done and you switch that 1k to vert. Give the Sats bigger pots just before your fast crop is done and watch them go nuts
Works well for me and doesn't leave me waiting 4 months between crops. Had a Green Haze x Panama yield well over a # this way. Her sister maybe yielded half of that
