Check out Attitude seed bank.

I got mine exactly 7 days from the day I ordered and had perfect germination ratios.

Hope you don't mind me adding my 2 cents on this Jon.

I ordered some Barney's Farm Violator Kush and some Dutch Passion Blueberry, both feminized seeds.

I can't tell you how they were yet, as they are 16 day old seedlings, but everything is going well!

Yo Thanks you JB30. Yours are looking great too! Have you ordered from BC or world of seeds yet? If so how were they?


For my next grow I think ill be going DWC and Ima buy a 400w HPS. DO you think a 400w HPS can do 5 plants from seed to harvest??

Just want to make sure before I get it! lol!

As for the strain, I want something well known so clients will know it. Also I need it to be smallish. My height limit is 3.5FT : /


Also witht the HPS do you think that I should take the mylar off the walls? Im afraid of over heating, But I have a 9" Fan blowing 24/7 so its pretty powerful : )

Yeah man, for sure you can grow 4 plants no prob with the 400 watter...that's what I'm going to be upgrading too very soon...

I've never bought from those seed companies yet, but they're on my things to buy checklist.

My hydrofarm arrived today...only 1 major problem with it though :( The bottom of the res is cracked so it leaks the solution all over my grow surface :(
I called them already and they have a replacement on the way...so it'll be another few more days till I get that...

The great thing with Sunburst Hydroponics is their customer service and shipping...lightning fast shipping and excellent customer service...will be doing biz with them again in the future

Now that i have my new light set up arriving next week, I have to figure out what I'm going to do to set up a perpetual SOG...

my dillema is this...I want to use my 400 watt'er for a flowering room, while I have my lil 150 watt Hps light left over...

Can I use my 150 for a mother/clone light with Cfl 6500k supplement?

Do I need to get a grow tent for my 400?

If so, is it absolutely necessary to buy those expensive duct fans for the tent?

Is there a cheaper, same result alternative to buying those inline fans/squirrel cage... I'd be alright spending around $75 bucks...

Any thoughts/suggestions/tips/advice is always given +rep...:eyesmoke:
