Yeah, If you can only get one go with HPS for sure.
It's not to much more expensive though to get a ballast that can switch between HPS and MH bulbs. I would really look into it. It's a great upgrade for the price difference.
What are some simple tricks to increasing humidity without a humidifier?
I plan on using %100 Fox Farm Organic Ocean mix potting soil from germination to harvest. I believe earlier you said this soil has enough nutes for a month. After that period, what should I be giving my plants nute wise...

What are some of the most effective ways to raise the humidity of a small bedroom?It has lots of windows close to the grow set-up.
I'm testing the humidity now and it's at 30...
I know I at least want it at 40 with 60 being even more ideal. How can I fix this?
Ideally, you want to switch to the MH light as soon as you plan on beginning to flower. The MH light releases red/orange which is better for flowering while the HPS light releases blue which is better for vegging.
I plan on growing on an open table in my bedroom. What problems might I face as a result of this?
The first problem that came to my mind was lightproofing the room during flowering. I heard that a Harvest can be reduced by 30% simply from going from 100% lightproof down to 99% lightproof.

I am so sick of paying out the ass for quality. I decided to take matters into my own hands now that I have some space. I'm sure you guys will be able to offer several tips that will be extremely helpful to me since I haven't had experience to learn from myself.

I'm growing 5-7 plants within about a 2" by 5" foot area. I want to know if the following light will be substantial for both the vegging and flowering stages of my plants. Would there be enough light for healthy plants if I used the MH bulb for vegging and the HPS bulb for flowering...
I really don't want to order online as I don't really have the time to wait. Is it possible to pick up this type of light at a retail store in person? If so, where at?
I want to transport my plants only one time and keep the same soil throughout the entire process to avoid causing shock or disturbance. Would the following soil mix work for what I have in mind?
50% Miracle-gro or similar product
20% Bat Guano (High Phosphate)
10% Organic Seafood
10% Perlite...
I'm currently germinating ten plants. I plan to have a 1000w HPS system by the time flowering comes around. I need a cheap alternative in the mean time to take care of the plants during vegging. How many watts of CFL lighting am I going to want to use for vegging the ten plants?
