    Default New grow, what size/type of bulb should I use?

    Okay guys I'm starting a new grow as I'd like to gain more experience. I'm wondering what size of wattage of bulb I should choose and what type aswell. I was thinking of using an HPS but I'm not sure if it would be suitable for the size of space I'm using? I haven't measured the wardrobe as of yet but roughly it's around 1.9 x 0.6 x 1.9m. Would love to hear back about this soon as I'm wanting to start buying equipment soon.

    As long as you have decent extraction... i would get a 4 or 600W hps with dimmable ballast.
    It all depends on alot of thing...
    Stealth, heat, intake, extraction, etc.

    Ah I see I see. I'd like to use a higher wattage bulb but I was worried about heat and things going on fire etc.
