The Making Of A Monster!

Well here we grow again! it seems it never stops always something going on.
If you have a minute drop in and dont be afraid to comment. If you want to really see what it takes to ease your pain start to finish. i will bring you through the mud and dirt, by no means does this work perfectly for me ever.

In the onset many growers find a passion and germinate seeds from what ever they can get. STOP! start right dont practice on cheap bag seed get something with promise. dont grow outdoor weed indoors, do you really want to flower 11+ weeks? sometimes even longer.


We all got to start somewhere and when you go to order these goodies that make gardening easy your budget gets obliterated. they key is to start small and keep your losses small. dont germinate 60 seeds you need a whole house for that. The more you crowd them in the taller and less they will make. (more later )

lets look at the making of a monster!


First the Room needs prepared

i'm cheap and easy i like 5 gallon buckets and 2x4's

this room will have 2k watts

I'm not sure if you read up on these new Cool tubes but you can see the reflectors are top quality. these are new to the market and only available in limited production they are imported from canada

164.99 SRP



inside we will burn the same

Those reflectors look to be a massive improvement over the old ones.

Sorry to interupt, keep going, please.

Ok you got my attention! I'm staying right here to watch a delicious monster be made, are you germinating your new seeds that you were telling me about.

Ps. I cut down that one plant it was quick and painless for me

Ok so lets go back to the Hortilux New goodies

first the standard enhanced Super HPS

Hiya Mr Ganja,
I am starting my 1st grow ever, I have a 300w mv wonderlite that they say
has a perfect light spectrum for growing and 2 125w fluorescents coming from opposite angles, i have a 10 pack of white berry seeds from paradise seeds, i plan on growing 4 plants in a closet that is 2' x 3' I am in the process of lining it now, i dont plan on a fast grow, im gonna keep 24 hrs light for first 2 months, then im gonna drop down to 18 for another 2 months, then to 12 hrs, This is my 1st attemp, i have done some research and i am hopeing this works out, and tips you can give me would be great
thxs Stonecold

now the NEW super blue


260.00 SRP

here are the bulbs side by side and in about 40 more posts we will see both burning!

heres what we will get from these new little toys

ok i cant go into the a/c because i found a NONO in the picture and cant show it.

but 2 more critical systems are co2 and electric supply.

sorry my pc is crashing and stone cold i am having NGT clean your post out. pm me for later discussion if you like. i will be back to finishing in a few moments

ok here's the best quality regulators i have found on the market. the hydrofarm models come with timers and tubing but they have failed me too often. so i made the change and have had only one failure in the first year! thats out of many many regualtors!

heres a close up a active regulator

that gas exits the regulator and is pushed out tubing that runs up to the ceiling and is mixed by all the fans

now the ballasts run off 240 and are digital lumatek 1000watt eballasts

but i still provide 120 and 220 supply. i dont want to overload and cause fire so i pull new service from box to every room internally!

i only use commercial grade plugs even on the 220 and i love the fool proof digital timers

these modes are 2 outlet multi event digital with battery backup

they are limited to 1000Watt total !!!!!!! dont overload

Ok Now back to the lights. you know they are the key they produce lots of heat i like these cylinders for air cooling, however in the summer i just use bigger A/C unit and sometimes i don't even pull air through them. the Footpront and intensity is all that matters to me. lets see these hortilux bulbs in action!

here is a 1000 watt hortilux fully warmed up this is the super hps model

and if you can even got your hands on them yet the SUPER BLUe Hortilux
