I have watched some videos on the dual spectrum bulbs and honestly man you lose a lot of lumens by running them. Id say a 250w would be a 150 HPS and a 100 MH. If you can dish out for the extra bulb and just swap them over your results should be much better :) Also if you have the choice to go...

Looking nice mate :D Make sure you have the right spectrum for veggin tho too! I got a couple cheap 48w 5000k and i hear the 6400k are a great choice. Basically you want to emulate the white daylight spectrum while veging then when you are ready to flower switch to the red! or 2700k I'm sure...

I have had a very similar looking problem and honestly i believe you may be too close to the light at the moment, although your room temps may be low they can rise quite a bit close to the CFL and this looks like the plants natural way to cool itself off and trap more moisture. If it were...

you will get many different opinions on this but i would say to go 18 hours on 6 hours off from germination to the point you would like to flower. 20/4 work too and even 24/0 but i would always let my plants have that rest because at no time does mother nature leave her lights on 24 hours and i...

So i have checked them again this morning and temps have been pretty stable at around 25-26c or 78f. As i have taken the floor out of my box and they are sitting on the ground this is as cool as i can get it untill my 12v adapters arrive and i can hook up more fans. I really hope they will pull...

Hey guys this is my first grow and i have started off some Shiva Skunk beans. I have recently moved them into my veg chamber and the temps hit above 29c or 85f The leaves have curled upwards and I am quite sure it is because of the heat. Either that or too much N but i have only used a soil...

Hey Nugbuckets, I just stumbled across this thread a few days ago and have read about 140 pages so far and abolutely loving it! Thanks for making this so clear for all of us :D setting up my grow soon under a 600w and i will definately be Mainlining my babes. I just have one question, at the...

Hey guys found some cheap smart pots from Taiwan! Prolly not quite the quality of the more expensive brands but cheap and easy for aussies to get a hold of...

Yeah me too canna, i think this will help a lot of people. No idea about the rep Critical! but most of my posts are trying to help people if that has anythnig to do with it.. I've been stalking RIU for a long time now gathering info and thought it was about time to get something set up :)

So my fellow 600w growers, can you tell us a bit about your yields with your setups please? What strains, veg time, nutes, systems and results! I wanna know it all :D Just starting out and wanna hear a bit on how the pros are going! Peace

Apart from being so stoned that i'm struggling to spell the word deficiencies, here's a chart for all new and old growers to tell when our plants are saying they need more or less of something. Listen to those plants! and remember they control you more than you control them :D you there biatch...

It depends on how you plan on growing and also what strains, are you planning on having much veg time? 4-6 3 gal buckets with a 3-5 week veg time and topping/fimming would be pretty nice. Are you growing from seed or clone?

This sounds great mate, I've PMd you!

I can't see why you would have a problem! tilted or not there is as much downward pressure in a completely upright pot as there is in a slightly tilted pot, maybe actually less because gravity plus the corners of the pot are actually forming small supportive triangles haha. Good Luck!

I have heard of people putting the seeds in a baggy, with some air blown in and sitting them on an open laptop. router would work just fine though! anything with a little warmth. Also another thing that can be done is put some sandpaper in a matchbox and put the beans in, give it a shake and...

I believe with the scrog you want to try and veg untill you have covered about 65-70% of the screen then put it into flower so the stretch covers the rest. In your situation i would probably think it might be better for you to get feminized seeds as clones are out of the question and it seems...

and also making a second cupboard is a great idea for making it perpetual, then you can have your larger space on 12/12 always and veg in the smaller area. I got a 150 watt MH setup off ebay for 65 bucks that would be great for a smaller veg space.

Hey mate, in that space I would probably suggest running one 600w HPS with an air cooled hood. Check the odour control thread for cheap and easy carbon filters ( about 10 bucks ) that you can fix to the intake of the hood to cut out any smell. Just be careful of heat because you ideally want...

ahh cool elvl, are you vegging for long? topping at all? and what size pots are you using? anyone else have any words of advice? :D

Thanks for the advice nickelz, I will try using a 400watt light with the same cooling hood run off a 440 cfm fan and see how i go. Fingers crossed! Might have to run an air intake at the bottom still and consider lights on at night. Fkin heat, just coming to summer here so thats going to put a...
