8'x20' want max yield 2,800 to spend first time grow

also you wont have to continually buy 2 new hps bulbs at 80 bucks every year either which is nice

those LEDs are $1600 (on sale) and it says it "rivals 1000w MH"

you can get 1000w magnetic ballasts, 2 bulbs, and air cooled hood from HTG for $350

if you are doing a room 8' x 20' it would be ideal to use 1KW bulbs...anything less would be sorta wasteful.... (wasting potential)

basically - get as many lights as you can afford...

Alot of people will reccomend using FoxFarm soils, but I say try and stay away from it. I havent had any good results and my friend who is a professional grower has had ove 30 seedlings burn from their OceanForest soil.

I hear good things about ProMix

I doubt that the soil burned his seedlings. I have grown alot in FF ocean forrest and have GREAT results. Its prolly one of the easiest way's to start growing if you'r new. Comes with a little chart on when to feed what.

The pic shows you 4 plants 19 days in flower under 400hps in FF ocean forrest with FF nutes.

I was going with two 600 watts because my electric bill has only been around 60 dollars a month and people told me if my bill spikes up from too many watts being used i would be red flagged. is that true? if its not true ill have this place lit up brighter than vegas! lol

8'w 20'L 6'H should i just do one room or make it in to two rooms ? can anyone draw me a print of what they would do.

He is fully licensed and has gone through many grows with FFOF but lately he hasnt had any luck with their products. Neither have I.

He actually bought Miracle Grow seed-starter soil and it is awesome. He planted the seeds 3 days ago and they are already about 2 inches tall and very healthy.

Lightwarrior's run-off is around 7.5. Way too acidic, i think ill go with Miracle grow for my next seedlings.

It's up to you about the room. You can use it as one room. But once your done flowering you have to start all over. If you split the room you can constantly have revolving bud. Every two months, you can have another harvest. Just wont be as big as one room grow. But the reloading is nice. You save time on your total grow when you can start from a clone instead of a seed. Just my two cents.

don't you mean alkaline?
if you have your ph any higher than 7.5 your plants are going to have a lot of problems getting magnesium or iron, you need your runoff to be at least at 6.5 to get even a little to absorb into the plants

for soil you should be looking for more acidic than 7.5, you should be looking for 6.2-7.0

but ya, i prefer to mix my ffof and happy frog with pearlite as opposed to light warrior i hate that shit
