I have no fucking clue what to do with this Co2. Tomorrow I plan or reading a little...I'm going old school. Give me a calculator and I'm ready to go.

I went to a website(sorry was a while ago and dont know where it is now) that has a CO2 calculator. You punch in the dimensions of your room and the CFH flow setting on your regulator and it tells you how long to run your C02. Pretty cool

Yeah you'll do fine with many of those...so just stuff it full till it can't handle anymore and pull the shitty ones. I found a 250mh set up for $80 on craigslist.

Craigslist is awesome. I bought alot of my equipment on there. As well as other stuff.

I bought it just cause.

If I was you I would have a little set up ready to go for those plants that don't make it. Then you just stick those few under that 250 or 400watter. What's another $100 at this point.

That is a great idea I hadnt even considered.
Thx.

you know how in sports winning fixes everything. Yield fixes everything

I forgot to touch on those reflectors.
They are awesome. They work just like the manufacturer claims. They dont seem to have a problem spreading the light out 8' at all. The plants all the way against the wall are doing just as well as most of the plants in the middle right under both lamps....so far. And yeah I had to sacrifice venting my hoods, and running the AC is a little costly but it does keep it cool in there.

Me and you both.LOL This is my first indoor grow so Im pretty much wingin it here. I mean I did ALOT of research and I have grown outdoors successfully but this is all new to me.

I've been looking at those reflectors in all the mags for years. Now i get to see

At least you did it right and threw some power at em.

Yeah, my little 250mh...she's like my mistress. She's cheap, i can give her a boob job at home depot (new bulb)...she runs a little hot and isn't top shelf but isn't that what a mistress is? Cheap and hot? Yeahhr! Oh, and she's there when I need her. I can go on and on...I can keep her in a dark closet

What else?
