Great post helped alot!! Ive read about "ballasts" but cant quiet figur it out. Is the point of a ballast giving you the choice of MH lighting and HPS with the same bulb of a flick of a switch? Please explain how it works. The reason i feel that i need two seprate 400 wat bulbs is because if i...

WOW that's nuts, althought my room is 2x6 and probably wouldnt work as well. I was plannin on using those 400 watts MH to start the seeds out but what should the temp be when the seedlings are being started out? still around 76-78?

alright now i know what the T-5's are. You would choose a 600 HPS for vegging and flowering, or just for flowering? I thought that the HPS bulbs were only good for flowering

Is it required to switch pots/soils through diff stages of there life. For example when they are seedlings do i need them in smaller pots and different soil from which i plan on using when they are vegging? Or is it possible to keep the plants in 5 gallon indivudual buckets from seedlings? I...

Could you sum that up? are you sayin not to buy a reflector for my hood?

i keep hearing about T-12's or even T-5's. What exactly are these? CFL'S MH or HPS? Although do you think that i should just use ONE of the 400 watts MH lights until they are about 8 inches? Whats you opionion, thanks for the help

Really? Im glad i found that out now, because i was orginally going to buy a bunch of mirros. Although was if i put that aluminum foil down, would that help? Or do you think it would be pointless and just somthing else down to prevent was leakin through the bottom of the buckets? Dont most...

From all the info. ive gathered on this site i was plannin on buyin TWO 400 watt MH lights to cover a 2X6 room. I can only use one room which is this room i speak of for the whole process from seed to harvest so i planned on using these 400 watt lights to start the seedling off all the way...

I suppose im goin to use flat white paint, even though i cant see how a light would reflect off of it, but hey im a newbie so i'll take you opionion into matter. Thanks a lot guys. Although What did you guys think of the mirrors on the base of the ground. I need somthing because its carpet of...

Another question i had was would it be a good idea to lay mirros on the base of the floor to reflect light upwars or would this be to much of a reflection?

Thanks tom- Is your input on this to use white flat paint also, or mylar? For the people that have used mylar does it reflect hot spots on the plants? Overall which is the best reflector to use?

What should the temp. of the grow room be for vegation? Should the temp differ. when its time for flowering?

yes I might just stick with the flat white plant although i was thinkin wouldnt mylar help prevent fires from breaking out? I Plan on using 2 400 watt MH lights in a 2x6 room do you- does anybody think that wil be to much heat on the walls?.

nice setup randy rocket. I keep hearing about t-12 setup although what bulbs doesw this consist of. Those younger ones you have look excellent for being smallekr bulbs.

Is a reflector on the hood of the lights required also?

Yes your right, thanks for reminding me about the saftey of my house burning down. I'm not sure if these are listed save, and im not about to find out. At the local hydroponics store they probably would sell bulbs that have cooling processes on them already installed? I do agree thats 400watts...

I actually have some aluminum foil hanging around, although one concern that crossed my mind is would that foil reflect to much that it'd burn the leaves on some angles? Is that possible at all? Thanks

TINFOIL**** exscue me spellin errors.

I think i know what that dollar stuff your talking about...It's almost like atinfoil form right? Also darkdescution where can i buy that myra stuff?

darkdestruction430- Ive looked online for mylar but the only color i can find is blue. What colors do the walls need to be for vegation and then flowering?
