    Lightbulb 12/12 from start to finish

    Im doing 12/12 light from start to stop with 400 watt MH light, I have pics up if ud like to look and gimme advice, Id like it. Would like to get more than 1 opinion on my question. I have all my plants together as u can see, as soon as they sprout they go under the big daddy light but I will not do more than 6 plants per my light.....I have 2 females that have white hairs straight outta the top that are 7 wks old, 2 i have tossed b/c they were males. I dont give anything xtra to them but once in a while sum miracle grow. Should I give the girls sumthing to encourage flowering....they are rather small b/c I kept them in a small cup for too long while finishing my grow room. Plz help me out, much appreciation ;0)

    Use Hps man. Its much more energy efficient. 400 Hps watts is like 1/3 more lumens than 400 MH watts. Can you post pics? How tall do the plants grow at 12/12?

    upload the pics to this, so much easier :P
    I've ran a clone 12/12 from start to finish in a 10x10cm pot, come out alright, maybe... 5-8g maximum. Tiny pot aswell so a bigger pot wudda done a lot better but its completely green, no yellow or bad leafs, and thats just had some time-release soil and some flowering nutrients, no vegging time. Didn't really care much for it, so just shoved it in rather then binning it

    old picture but yu get the jist, very small tho, shes my baby

    ok g/f! you wanna use the instant shultz every 3 waterings and if you can get a retro fit hps bulb. the hps is is much better for flowerin at the least you would want to get some cfl's (compact fluorescent lights with 2500-2700 kelvin. the box usually will tell ya. start light on the instant shultz and make sure the ladies dont get nutrient burn and slowly bump up the strength!! does the soil have nutes in it??

    No nutes in soil, just straight from wally world, and whats the easiest, cheapest way to add sum lights to my room? Did u see y pics? Also for the reply b4 urs Idk how to put pics hear....I tried b4 and it asks me for a URL.......Also not being a cheapo but Im growing for me and a stash away not to make money so If I get a couple ounces outta 6 plants I will be happy. What can I add just for flowering, to kick um in thier ass, u know what I mean bro....lol ;0) Im adding to this I just went to the site for the lights u told me about and they are the same bulbs I got.....look at my pics, maybe its a 400watt HPS bulb, I know its for growing.

    it looks like it is metal halide.! yea i seen the pics!! the look good!! you should get plenty of smoke from them as long as everything goes good!! look for sum guano to help kick in the buds!! i use bat guano!! the easiest way to add sum lites is to go to lowes or home depot and buy a metal sphere that accepts just regular ole bulbs like incadescents! like this one !! http://www.lowes.com/pd_203213-1373-...22291&Ntt=shop light&Ntk=i_products&pl=1&currentURL=/pl__0__s?newSearch=true$Ntt=shop light$y=10$x=13

    yea im witcha!! the 400 watt wont take much at all on the bill!! you'll hardly notice it!! you wanna get 100-150 watt CFL's with 2500k-2700k sumwhere in that range and you can buy them at lowes/wally world/etc..!! at least 2 of them !!! the more light =more bud!!! and keep the 400 watt'r on with the CFL's!! depending on where u at your bill will go up bout 10-25 bucs with the 400 and 2 100-150's!!
