Hello! Have a problem with my 70w magnetic ballast running a 70w cmh. If I turn it off and on again it doesn't ignite the bulb but just buzzes very loud.After it cools down(about 5-10 mins) it works normal. Is that normal for magnetic ballasts or is it the bulb that can't start up because...

To transplant into soil,or not to transplant,that is the question

erm...so...should I transplant it into soil or not?

Hey! My clone rooted!!! :) I was just about to throw it away as it looks so bad and I did one last check and it happened!!woohooo my first clone! :D Is there enough roots to transplant into soil? Can I slowly begin putting it outside as soon as I transplant it or should I have it under 24/7...

Thank you for your suggestions.I've read that gel is better than powder but this is what I bought,it surely can't be the main reason my clones arent rooting.I took the dome off the clone in the water,it looks pretty bad :) The one in the soil looks great! Made another clone box from a plastic...

Hey! This is my first time cloning. I have a simple shoebox,20W cfl(24/0),temperature is 85F. The first clone is in water (put it into rooting powder when cut at 45 angle and scraped a little at the bottom of the stem),have a plastic bag over to work as a dome and it's 7 days old.I change the...

I fixed the image =) sorry

Hey! I've always been intersted in LEDs but they were always kinda expensive to me.Now I can have a led light for my seedlings/clone micro chamber but I'm not sure if this can be true. A guy is selling me a 30 watt dual specter led that he bought for 90$ 1 month ago for just 25$.It's 5,1...

I have checked the plexi and there is no smell or visible deformations.Will put the plexiglass even further from lights to be safe and see if that solves the problem,my plants wont be as close to the clfs but a little stretch is better then a melting/fire hazard although I don't smell plastic...

Hey I have a micro grow with 5x 23W cfls placed in a row and since I installed a plexi heatshield to separate the light chamber there has been a weird smell coming out of my box.The cfls aren't touching the plexi or anything else.The temperature right above the clfs is 111,2 F (44 celsius) and...

Those are some nice buds growing under cfls,they are huge!! I would suggest that you get a smaller watt 6500k while flowering as the leaves start to die soon after put in flower because you only have one spectrum. Really nice grow!

Thanks for replies guys!

I would love to see some pics.So you get dense buds even with cfls? Can I get a decent yield with a 125w envirolite(200w would probably be an overkill)? Is there much difference than a 70w hps? EDIT: how hot does ur 150w get? Can you touch the bulb?

I'm thinking of using a 70w with remote ballast because cfl's are supposed to give you fluffy/popcorn buds.Think the heat wouldn't be such a problem since the bulb would be in a ventilated cool tube,or would it? I planned to grow 2 plants but only 1 seed germinated,have another 1 in water...

Hey! I'm a PC grower and atm I have 1 seedling inside on 18/6 with 6500k cfls. Because I don't want to waste time vegging and lsting the plant and then finding out it's a male can I put it on 12/12 with 2700k clfs so the plant shows preflowers and then re-vegging it. How long will it take for...

About the cool tube. Would it be better to use the standard cool tube (the one big enough for 120mm fans) or the 'bake a round' cool tube wich is 3 1/4 wide ( 80mm fans)?

Heya! I'm currently growing with cfl's in my server PC ( 17x8x25,6 ) and I'm wondering if it is possible to upgrade it to 70w hps with remote ballast with only one restriction...that it is soundproofed as much as possible. Below,I made a little drawing of how it would look but because I have...

wow,impressive pictures and thank you for helping! Definetly going for NL

Even smaller plants smell and if done right even 100w can produce a decent yield for a micro grow.

Thanks for such a fast response from all. Went to dope-seeds and NL is top of the low odor strains.Still hoping for someone who grew it to save the day =) Gonna give this ionic cfl a try,so far I've read that they do work for 1-2 plants. EDIT: Thanks Dizzle Frost
