Welcome New Members!

New to indoor growing, but I wanted to say hello to all members here. I will be visiting this site often and will uploading pics of my grow. I started in July of this year and my 1st grow was a dissapointment. I have a 400w cooltube HPS, but I didn't have the ventalation proper and the room got mad hot, so I switch to CFL. In the end my buds were light and skimpy. Now, I have my clones, fixed the air flow (it's now between 80-90 degrees) and am now in the flowing cycle. Only thing is that I flowered the mother plant and clones at the same time (I don't have a seperate space for mothers, but will soon). The clones are like 5 - 6 inches tall and have buds. Lesson of the story: Get clones taller, then flower and keep mothers seperate.
I started off with some unknown strain from a bag I once got, being that it's my 1st time I didn't want to screw up using dank seeds, so I used good schwag instead. After this schwag/clone grow is done I'm going to plant Great White and use it as a mother and keep it in a seperate box and take cuttings from that. Okay...high!

Wut it do, have learned alot in just a few hours of searchin around
Great site
Ya dig

There's a lot of great information on this forum! No clue why I decided to join, but it would be good to ask some questions when they come along.
Just got a female "clone" as a gift from my friend! Haven't really had a green thumb in the past (with flowers and such), but I'm sure it'll go well with some luck seeing as this interests me A LOT more and I'll take more care. Haha.

Just wanted to say hi to everyone!

Thanks man. New to this forum stuff, not new to growing. Just getting back into after 15 years. Small set-up 4x4x6 with 600w hps, exhaust to carbon filter, heater, fans and a homemade yeast CO2 generator. Already cropped a feminized 'firehydrant', now trying a feminized bubba kush. Any and all advice appreciated.

Cool man start a journal!

Just wanted to take a second and say hello. Love the site and I've gained a lot of info that I'm trying to put to use. On my first grow now and I hope there will be many more in the months to come.

Yes but they have poor light penetration and lower lumen output than an HID. Use flouro's to strat seedlings. Veg and flower under your HID.

also i want to order a hid,should i go a 400 mh/hps combo or spend a few more $ and geta 600 hps?

It is your choice, a 600 will put off more heat but has a higher lumen output as well. How large is your space? You really don't need a combo either they are overpriced, if you want to use a MH just pick up a conversion bulb.

Welcome to RIU!

welcome welcome. usually a 400watt is enough unless you've got a bunch of plants in a large space. you can find used ones on ebay, usually with a hps and mh bulb already with them for pretty cheap. i use cfl's and they work fine for me tho i'd like to upgrade to a hps.

hopefully i did this right

thanx, i will be back 4 advice on seed buying, i am germing some northern lights bag seed to "get my feet wet" b4 i spend $ on seeds!

Been lurking for a while thought i would join in on the fun.Started my first grow of this year and will be asking lots of question.Been doing all my grws outdoors till this last year and switched to dwc.That was a learning nightmare.lol.oph
