I am currently using the same light set up however I also purchesed the AgroMax 400 watt HPS Bulb. On my third grow with it, my first HID light and I LOVE IT!

Ok i did some looking http://www.greenmanspage.com/guides/troubleshooting.html and all of my symptoms fall in Mg deficancy. My leaves have curled up on the edges like little boats and started showing signs of "spots" of necrosis but the viens remain dark. I may have too hard of water and is...

One of my plants is doing the same thing, the others are doing just fine all are on the same feeding and watering schedual, I've moved my light higher and increased fan speeds thinking it was heat induced as well. The other plants however are showing no signs.

Great job! I just got my first HID 400w HPS, i am just starting out this season, little seedlings right now, i hope in a few months my stuff looks like that!

Good morning RIU rainy ass monday, but the first day of a week off! Love vacation, can wake n bake all week long! Have a good day all.

looks like some sort of indica specially the darker one, all seeds from same bag?

And if anyone knows of a good site to get 24" HO t5 tubes for a good price please pass that along.

Thanks for all the help, I think i'm going to set up my cfls that i used for undercanopy and around the edge lighting and see if i can veg under them, then start a few out 12/12, and see what happens *shrugs* got the space might as well try some stuff out right?

Wow thanks for the quick responses, I had a problem with my t5 floros (dropped it :( ) and dont have the 50bucks to rebulb it atm would vegging under a 400w HPS be a problem?

I have always wondered if this would work? And if so how long untill the plant shows first signs of sex? Anyone here grow like that, and what are the drawbacks of going 12/12 start to finish?

Let the leaves be, all of the photosynthesis takes place in the leaves, the more leaves you have the healthier and less stressed the plant will be. and a healthy unstressed plant seems to produce more potent and larger buds. I only have three complete grows under my belt, so dont take this as...

I compost old plant matter (leaves and stalks) with the old soil in my worm boxes, a few weeks later fresh compost. I use a 55 gal drum and mix in bout half compost, 1/4 peat moss (makes for airy soil) 1/4 fresh potting soil, cheapest i can find. Been using this technique for all potted...

wow lots of good info, thanks! I put my studs up and i dont have quite that big of space after all... i am NOT a carpenter and i didnt realize how much work was really involved in building this. I have a 3ftx4ftx6 1/2ft tall, so the room is a bit smaller, bigger then the closet i was growing in...
