    I love Air Pots! Check out the pics of the root masses!

    I agree, I have seen a ton of great results using these type of "fabric" pots. You can reuse them, but often times they will start to break down after a couple of grows.

    Help with my lighting please!!!

    Induction lights are not much more than a fluorescent lamp, check the spectrum charts and you will see. They were originally designed, and still used, in factories and other areas where access to maintain the bulbs is very difficult, reason being that the induction lamp does not have a filament...

    600W and 400W in a 55x55 tent?

    You are going to have to keep things cool in there. 90s is too high, getting rid of a light or having one come on for only a few hours a day would be better, experiment with that and see how it effects the temps inside the tent, once you get it to the room with AC you should be fine.

    Flowering with T5's??

    Yes, T5, 3000K should be pretty good for flowering. Yes, an HPS is a much better "point source" of light and can really be a canopy buster and get the light beyond the tops of the plants, however, the T5 is a longer lamp and can usually bathe the sides of the plant in light pretty well

    Is one 25 watt CFL enough to grow 2 plants?

    Why don't you just buy a shoplight from HomeDepot. They are about $20 and the bulbs are only $2 each, the lumens on each T8 bulb are about 2800. Or, yes, buy a 4L T5 and you will have dramatically better results. If space is an issue, they make 2'T5 fixtures, and you can also buy the PL-L...

    LED Without LEDs -My First T5 Grow

    OK, it seems that IR and UV are being carelessly confused here. IR is the "red" range beyond visible light, "higher" up on the spectrum, past 700 nm. UV is at the other end, less than 400nm, it is "purple". IR is nothing but heat, and really doesn't do anything for your plants. UV is of...

    Beware Agromax grow tent HTG supply!

    Gastanker is mostly right. In my past life, I was in the hydro-shop business and heard and saw every excuse for a plant dying, other than human error. The light bulb killed my plants, the pot killed my plants, the soil killed my plants, the tent killed my plants. Regarding the tent issue...

    Can i use a 250w MH/HPS Conversion Bulb on my 250w HPS System?

    Ok, lots of questions, here are the answers. 1) Yes, of course you can use a conversion lamp, thats what they are designed for. 2) The confusion comes in when you try to use a "standard" (not a conversion) MH lamp with an HPS ballast. The only time this will work well is with a 1000 watt...

    Is this Light Optimal for Vegg???

    $200 for what? The link is a little confusing, is it the fixture with a 125w CF lamp? 6500K lamp? with only 10,000 hours life? Or is it the 200 watt version? While the spectrum is great, anything over 5000K is good for veg, there are a number of less expensive alternatives that might work...

    HTG...Buyer BEWARE!!!!!

    A PACK OF LIES?? It sounds more like ONE simple misunderstanding. TONY said that he would send you a LABEL to send the unit back. This is the same thing that happened to me for a different product. I was given the same choices you were, they would either send me a UPS label and I could...
