So I'm getting ready to do my first grow from seed. I've done tons of research, but have a few basic questions left. I have a 250W metal halide with an internal ballast. I plan on starting seeds about 2.5-3 months before my projected plant out date. They'll be potted up indoors up to 6" pots, and will be started in a potting mix with a good amount of nutes in it. No additional ferts other than some epsom salt will be used unless I see a deficiency. Here are my questions...
1)How many plants could be grown under this light until plant out? I don't want leggy plants, but need to fit as many plants in as possible. I'm not sure if the 3000 lumens/square foot rule applies to giving your outdoor plants a head start.
2)About how big should my plywood grow box be for that number of plants? (L X W X H)
3)Is it possible to grow superhots in Vegas? I've been reading posts where people were having a hard time getting any pods in similar weather. It gets over 100 almost every day in the summer, with extreme dryness.
Thanks for all your help!!
