    CFL's: What watt?

    Most of the time people are referring to the real wattage, not the incandescent equivalent. 2 to 200 Watt CFL Here is a site where you can order CFLs up to 105watts, equivalent to a 500w incandescent. I have never ordered from here or anything, this is just more to give you an idea that there...

    CFL Lumens/Watt Chart - Find Most Efficient Setup

    They are cheaper to run, and are a lot cooler, so you can put them closer, and you don't need to worry about ventilation as much. How many you use depends on what you want, and how much you want to spend. Go by the lumens when deciding though. They say that the sun puts out 10,000...

    Cheap HPS Lights

    I'm not sure, but that looks like tin foil on the walls. If it is, you can get cheap mylar like stuff at the dollar store. It's poly-wrap wrapping paper, that is solid color on one side and metallic on the other. I got a couple rolls for my setup for $2. Tin foil can be spotty, that's the...

    Anything that will reflect will work. I used a paper bowl covered in mylar for a while, lol.

    not enough light? Slow start?

    You will never end up with anything with just that. Go to Lowes or Home Depot and pay $6 for an 8 inch clamp light: then pay $2 for a splitter: Then a couple more bucks for two CFL bulbs. And you have an easy light setup for less than $15. Also, I would recommend a minimum of the...

    Check out the setup, let me know what u think.

    Here's an update of my babies. I had to kill one yesterday, as I was finally certain it was a male. There are 3 left and one is for certain a female, the other two I'm not sure about. I'm about a week and a half into flowering. Let me know what you pros think!

    drug test

    If it's really important, then it's worth the money for something like the wizzinator. If not, then just go the GNC route. What kind of drug test is this? Do you know? Are you sure it's a urine test? I have been through urine tests and know many others who have only had to do cheek swabs...

    CFL Lumens/Watt Chart - Find Most Efficient Setup

    I will only be using my CFLs. I am down to 3 plants now, trashed one male yesterday, and I think another is a male. I guess 2/4 is right on, but I really wanted 3/4. Regardless, these 7 bulbs will be about right for 2 plants anyway to get some fat plants. I would probably get the same amount...

    That's cool man. Thanks for contributing and trying to help everyone out. I am currently in the 2nd week of flowering in a regular soil indoor setup. It's gone well, and I wan't to take some clones and possibly start a hydro grow. Problem is, I know the basic concept of a grow and could...

    A comprehensive thread on hydro grows. We need a good thread with info on basic setups, pumps, bubbleponics vs hydroponics, what pumps to use (water, air), reservoirs, tubing, mediums, nutes, etc. I have seen the fatty colas some people are getting from their hydro grows. I know someone can...

    Different curing

    I have put already cured (bag shit) into jars with orange/lemon peels for a while and it does give them a fruity taste. However, I feel like it keeps the bud moist and mold might be an issue if you are curing wet buds.

    2 quick questions!

    I'm not sure about the seed question, I have heard both ways. However, I have a grow going now that started smelling a while before flowering, after about 2 1/2 weeks into the grow.

    Growing in and computer case???

    I think the consensus here is that you just won't be able to do it. You can only hope to do so much in that small of a space. I'm wondering how the hell a HPS reflector hood would even fit into a computer case. I think you would end up spending more money than you think and ending up with a...

    Heat Blocking Glass vs Air Cooling...

    I don't know about that, especially at close to the price of a complete HPS system. I guess the plus here is that if you could put this over your HPS, you could put the light closer and get more lumens. My first thought would be that this lessens the space you can grow under though. Seems...
