alright awesome, i have a ton of t12 fixtures, so ill just get some t8 bulbs for a couple months until i can afford to get a couple 2 bulb 4 footers or a 8 bulb 4 footer t5s. So are the spectrums the same for t8 as for the rest, 6500k for veg, 2700k for bloom?

Great idea with the wrapping before applying it. But hmm if it effects the rest of the plants yield by doing it, maybe it would be better to just bring a male and female both inside and let them go, wouldn't want all the plants to suffer a yield loss when only 1 can haha.

This sounds like an awesome idea, i think im going to try it out. how many plants do you usually use is a scrog grow? Is there a certain number per square ft or just however many i can fit in the area? Lol i live in so cal and am also getting ready this early, just too impatient haha

yea ill be taking anything i read about that kind of stuff from now on with a grain of salt. Yea i will def be getting some fem seeds of a couple strains to check out. hopefully i will get a male, i was planning on if i did to take the male inside and then when its pollen is ready i was gonna...

oh ok that makes sense. well im guessing since t8s use electronic ballasts the t8 bulbs wont fit in t 12 fixtures either huh

yea def a good idea, i want um to be the best they can be lol. And yea i cant wait, ive been looking forward to it since last year lol

i could go with clones instead of seeds, just 2 things, ive heard that clones dont do as well outside as they do inside, is this true? also clones are a bit harder to get around here, strain wise anyways, i live in so cal so i see clones on craigs list all the time but i would be stuck with...

ok cool, noted on the nutes. yea when i read the description i thought it was too good to be true haha. although even 8-10 feet would be good with me. This is what attitude says the genetics are "she is a stable hybrid of a Viking 90, Big Buds 93 and a male KC 636" oh nice, what type of...

That sounds like a good idea. I have really awesome soil at my house, last year my brother did a grow here outside and didnt use any nutes at all, threw them in and watered them with the garden hose every 3 days or so, and they turned out pretty nice, some of them even got like 6ft and put out...

Thanks man. Yea they will probably go right in the ground when. The first area is super shady right now because the time of the year, come april that spot is pretty much sunny all day. Yea i def wasn't expecting that many of them to germinate. If i can get my t5s figured out i may try to do a...

Im pretty sure i read somewhere that the high output t5s take a special ballast. But what about the reg t5 bulbs, do they require a special ballast also? Or can i just drop them in a reg floro fixture and they will work fine? Google has failed me on this info and i couldn't find it in the t5...

can i place t5 bulbs in a reg fluorescent fixture, or do they require a special ballast?

alright so this will be my first time growing, i will have 2 grow spots, Spot A This is going to be the place where i grow some giants, This is a little courtyard in the middle of my property so it is completely hidden, from any would be robbers. But since its placed in the middle of my...

the lights you are using, are they just reg floros, with reg bulbs?

so i was looking up the t5 bulbs, do the HO ones requires a different ballasts also or was that just the VHO? the main reason im wondering is because i work construction and the last job i did was replacing floros for this swampmeet, needed to change to a different one for osme reason so they...

did you get them online? i started about 60ish bag seeds the day before yesterday, i checked this morning and so far 17 have started to germ, so the long 4ft light would be best i think, cause im guessing before i put them in dirt, prob another 10 or so will germ so prob looking at about 30 or so

do they make like 4ft or 8ft CFL bulbs for shop light fixtures?

hmm, the grow area im gonna be growing in is outside, but its an enclosed courtyard area with an open roof so around the sides light dosnt get very low, specially once the plants will be huge. i was gonna put in some 60w lights around the edge to try and help with it some. i wonder if i got...

hmm ok, yea i had never heard of it before so it was really interesting sounding

Hey all thanks for the input, some great info in here. I live in so cal in the riverside area, so it is relatively warm through the year, late nov, dec, early jan are the only times i would really worry about plants dieing due to frost but i dont have any plants outside at that time anyways...
