i might think about the cooling tube, my growing room (soon to be flowering room) temp is fine (78-82 degrees) but my mother room might need it depending on if i get a metal halide or a bunch of high watt cfls. I also regret not getting the 400 watt hps from htg that was only a couple bucks...

since the mother room is 2x2 i will not be able to fit my 4ft fluoro tubes (sorry i referenced these as cfls a couple times by accident) in there and will end up leaving it in the flower room with my hps. For my mother room i was thinking lots of cfls but now im hearing that i should just get...

Well it is hard to say my abnormally tall one (and do mean he was tall) seemed like he was going to grow so tall till he fell over and died. When it got to the point where he started tipping too far the stems got thick enough to support it and it looks beautiful now. To give you a comparison of...

Ok guys this is end of week 2 since being put in the grow room (6 weeks old total) in the grow room and I have 2 new members of the family! one most likely to die soon but the other is healthy! I have decided to hold off on the 12/12 cycle until i am ready since i will be leaving town alot...

wait doesnt htgsupply.com sell a 250 and 400 watt system (MH or HPS) with ballast that looks much better than that for 115-119 bucks. The only downside was 27 bucks of shipping but with the 27 pound package you'll pay that anywhere and I got no taxes (even tho 400 Watt was only 2 bucks more it...

Thanks thunder, ya the fluoro tubes are above my smallest plants currently 3 inches above I will lower em even more when I germinate my PPP seeds and place em under.

another update The seeds of the fem Pure Power Plant strain will be arriving very soon and I will germinate hopefully 3 of them and add them to the grow room with an extra 75w blue flood light and begin the 12/12 cycle in the grow room for 12/12 from seed to finish of the ppp seeds and the...

I wouldnt be too worried about that, I think that is just how the leaves are during the young stage. you are better off than I was when I started with bagseed and my plants look healthyish now. You can look at my grow in the same section and I am a couple weeks in front of ya (not too far since...

Okay guys this is their first week growing in the grow room with the HPS and cfls (5th since germination). Since I feel the grow room meets adequate standards I thought I would focus the pics on the plants. I have 7 plants currently with temps at 78-85 degrees on 24/7 light with roughly 45-55%...

sorry i didnt make it clearer, it is miracle gro garden soil, it is bagged soil that is meant for the ground. Basically meaning the soil didnt have very good draining properties. I solved this problem by adding 20% perlite and 10% builders sand. Unless someone sees that it is wrong. Organic MG...

Nirvana would be the only place I trust out of most seed sellers, its more than quality, its how well they keep the information private and the package shipment discrete. Nirvana goes all the way in those categories.

Hey Chaotic, I have a question based off what you said. For my system I have 2 t12 40 watt cfls and a 250W HPS for 4 plants and seems to be sufficient. Are you saying that I should turn off my cfls during the flower cycle and just run my HPS? Since the cfl emits the same spectrum of MH for veg...

another question i have is humidity levels. i hear different levels all the time and the confusion comes from no one clearly stating the levels for a given state. I am currently at 35% humidity and thought it was low (planning on buying a humidifier). What i think the levels should be is 40-70%...

hrmm, soil maybe? i used garden soil at first and was very compact. my theory is the roots were having trouble expanding. i added perlite and sand to make it breathable. That sound like the problem maybe? I am curious about this. the only other difference i can think of is air flow, i had none...

lol, you can see my post somewhere in this same newbie forum, the reason is i used a 75 watt plant flood light during the 4 week period, its bagseed and was experimental now that they are growing in the grow room (and having better seeds on the way) with 2, 40 watt cfls and a 250 watt hps they...
