short answer... no nature can support a plant and allow it to survive, but you dont want them to just survive, you want them to thrive... Nature does not give optimal growing conditions... you have the power to boost your plants potential.... over clock them Give them as much light as they...

over 500 watts of cfl = 100 watts of HID light

2 inch node spacing at 4 weeks flower is good imo plants will stretch when they arnt getting enough light... maybe they arnt getting enough light because the light is too weak, or because the light is too far away, or because the light is being blocked out by other plants ect

take it down... it will have to be really close to the plants to make any impact and will block the light from the 400 hps use the 2 x t5s to start seedlings or clones

rather than using a whole lot of low wattage lights, get a couple of high wattage lights

2 x fluros are ok for little seedlings or clones get something more for veg get something much more for flower, get a 400W hps and use it for both veg and flower stages if you keep growing under a couple of fluros, your plants will stretch tall and skinny looking for light, wont bush out...

2 x 600W multiple light angles better light coverage and overlap closer to plants cooler

package deals are generally fail, work out what you need for your specific grow and customize it to suit your space and needs then go buy the items individually, build everything you can yourself

i gotta agree with exdex for once... worst thread of the week

you would spend more time checking, adjusting, correcting and tweeking everything trying to make it run smoothly dont over complicate a simple task just cause it sounds cool

led lighting is fail, you get a led and hid of equal wattage and the HID dominates it

you can judge how well it works by how much your plants stretch... the node spacing noobs think a bulb is good because their plants are growing tall, but really the plant is stretching up tall because its looking for some real light its all in the node spacing

hydro yeilds more than soil... you can give the plants exactly what they need, and make it easy for them to get it much less problems from bugs and disease only hippys and ghetto trash grow in the filthy dirt

its cheap to build yourself read up on neut concentrations, buy a ph meter and a EC meter

fridge is fail for air cooling you cant dismantle it as suggested cause its designed to cool an area the size of the fridge sealed up, you could pump air in one end and suck it out the other back into the room, but the air would cycle too fast to be cooled its better that your plants have...

and just be carefull of people like i420 who will suck up with some sweet talk and lead you astray with lame ideas that he invented himself like... cog... read up the pro-growers posts, get your info from multiple sources anyone who says they invented something is a douche ... remember this

it makes a huge difference how close your grow light is, especially since you only have a 250W theres 2 issues: 1 is keeping your light as close as possible to your plants without burning them, with a 250W you can get it about 6 inches, but if they burn, just pull it back a little 2 is...

growing in a PC is stupid... you will be hard pressed to yeild a quarter of an ounce... with a massive pc if the cops search your house they will find it anyway... you wont yeild enough to make it worth your effort kids grow in PCs because it sounds super sneaky and cool... get a tall...

get a cfl grow light, not just a bulb for your house when it comes time to flower, get a HPS light

carefull you dont burn your carpet with the grow lights too close... if you want to make your toilet overflow story believeable... urinate on your floor, and maybe take a dump on it... no one will question you then...
