The basic idea for mine requires two chambers. one under 18/6, or 24/7 if you're lazy like me and don't care to black out the veg closet totally. The best thing I would advise to use in it would be full spectrum T5's, I think sunblaster is a brand name. They are cool, so no need to vent, fit neatly in a closet, you can get them in all lengths and widths, and these would be plenty to put over a mother or two, your clone tray, and a few little pots with the latest clones from the tray getting nice and rooted. Then when you;re ready you move them to the flower room. The flower room will have some fresh plants in it, and some almost ready to harvest, but they are all under 12/12 to flower so it doesn't matter, just keep track of where each one is at in their life cycle so you aren't feeding late stage flower nutes to palnts only half way through.
Airyness can be caused by lots of things really. Besides and in addition to what was stated above your nutrients may not be adequate, your soil may not be adequate, or really any number of things. A nice dense crystally bud is a product of a well planned out grow with everything taken into consideration. Also, the cooler your room the closer you can get your light. HPS are great, but if you have money and an hps ballast they make a dual spectrum bulb that is supposed to be ridiculous (my next investment). Also, if ventelation is a problem CO2 adjustment in your room will help. CO2 is always a great addition to a grow room, but especially if you can't get the temps below mid to high 80's. Thats right about where you want it (if I remember right, a quick search will let you know for sure) when using CO2. The combination though, of everything, is what is going to get you the great smoke.
Hopefully that helps a bit more too.

Exact distance is subject to personal preference and how your plants react to distance of the light(ie don't burn). Assuming proper temperatures and ventilation of heat if you could get your HPS light about 12 inches away from your plants you should notice more dense buds.

Also, how old are the bulbs for your lighting? Those should be changed every 3-4 grows(~ roughly every year).

Temp 78 F to 85 F
Lights 400W MH 18/12 8 weeks
400W HPS 12/12 in 10th week (see latest pictures)
Plants are close 12 or closer inches that is for sure - closer the better - isn't it?

2 Grow with these lights.

I also have a fan -

chronic from serious seeds. It has a 90% germ rate. My first grow i bought 90 kali mist and 85 made it to seedling. No extras tho

closer the better? not necessarily ...

refer to Yield-O-Rama for optimal suite spot positioning of your lighting.

Yeah, you can put lights close enough that you get no yield at all, if they cook your plants. Generally, you want to get them as close as you can without causing heat stress.

Assuming you've got enough light (yours is good - bigger is usually better but you've got enough) the best way to get bigger yields is to make sure you're feeding them as much as they can handle and using the right kind of nutrients. If what you've got is properly proportioned, like Advanced Nutrients or something, and you're feeding them heavy as you can, you'll see the best the plant has to offer.

A lot of things go into optimizing a yield, but nutrients and light are the big factors.

I am looking for a seed that has the gentics to produce mega yieds if grown in proper conditons. 5 gal is best size pot for soil - isn't it?

Seed strain recommendation please....

Thc Bomb, biggest yielder I have ever grown in 17 years of growing. Currently yielding 2oz per plant 12/12 from seed!!!!

mikeeees · #19 08-03-2008, 09:46 AM

where do you buy thc bomb? breeder?

im looking for a big yielder, for outdoor growing. Low odour preferably?

potlike · #20 08-03-2008, 10:46 AM

The Church will out yield THC bomb according to people that's grown both.... Also the church is highly resistant to mold...*very good trait to have
