    Average yeild with 1 600W hps on light mover 6'

    whats the point in the light mover??? they are shit. the main thing to affect the yield is the amount of light... moving it about doesn't create any extra light.

    Topping/Lollipopping

    be very careful of doing anything to stress your plants. The processes used to create fem seeds also makes them more prone to going hermie

    Standard Questions on Indoor Growing

    4000 lumens per plant???? most people only recommend 4-6 plants under a 600w HPS, which is 15,000-22,000 lumens per plant. as far as how much fertilizer to mix with the water (I assume the question is what concentration to mix it to), one fertilizer can vary from the one next to it on the shelf...

    Need advice for Sativa Scrog grow box

    you need to maintain about 12 inches without a cooltube, less with. Ultimately it will depend on how much your plant grows above the screen.Some people say that with a cool tube the plants can touch the glass, but that wont give you the coverage you need. Best to play it safe and allow an area...

    SCroG Grow

    dont forget to FIM with scrog... if you don't then you're not realizing the full potential of it. so really there shouldn't be a main cola. I heard about people who weave and they don't do it twice... end up filling all the holes with stems that should be below the screen, not filling it. As...

    Exhaust fan hook to thermostat or timer,

    to many variables.... are you venting through a cool tube? when your lights go off and the co2 is off the temperature will need to be lower than with the co2 on, so a thermostat option may not work as you'll want different temperatures depending on co2 concentration. if you have the money i'd...

    My mostly finished grow room

    I read a very interesting article regarding feminisized seeds... basically they hermie plants which result in more female seeds, hermie the etc etc, however these plants are more prone to go hermie... so if you plan to use a mother plant you are far safer buying regular seeds and just selecting...

    So what do you think?

    is your plan to use the same fan for the cool tube and room together? if you have the money why not get a separate fan for the cooltube and a fan controller with thermostat to help control the temps... this is the route I will be taking as and when I can afford it

    NEED HELP keeping my Y-ducting on my vortex fan

    I've taped up some of my grow cabinet and the tape just goes loose when it heats up. The glue never sets properly so any heat and it comes loose. maybe silicone? or as the guy above suggested, screws!

    modified lighting setup/schedule

    I think the more important point to make is that HID bulbs are more efficient than CFL's/T5's, so although you will save money you'll ultimately be spending more per lumen. If you leave the MH on constantly you will either finish vegging sooner or finish vegging with bigger plants

    Cabinet grow box?

    what about air exchange? what sort of light have you got in mind? heat issues? the strain? at the moment it's just a cupboard and any reasonable sized space COULD make a good grow cabinet :)

    Lighting help needed please :)

    also, 600w lights are intended for a 1.2m x 1.2m area, so two would be bang on

    Lighting help needed please :)

    if you've got the money invest in two air cooled hoods, a separate exhaust fan for it and another 600w light. 600watt bulbs put out about 90,000 lumens, some claim almost 100,000. 2 400watt bulbs are around 100,000... it's a waste of money in my opinion. Wait untill you can afford to do it...

    Grow room in progress

    you'd need 144 of those pipes to be the same as a 6inch one or 64 to be equal to a 4 inch pipe. Also you want smooth pipes. You get added resistance from any other piping, especially the flexible stuff

    First time grow - 600w SCROG with White Widow

    good point regarding the scrog. The reflector and bulbs turned up today so the little fuckers are now under 600watts... except an oscillating fan and potching with the access panels it's pretty much done. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

    First time grow - 600w SCROG with White Widow

    These are my 8 white widows. They've been under T5's for about 10-15 days. As soon as my reflector and bulbs come they will be getting put into bigger pots and put under the 600w MH. Any comments/ criticism/ advice is more than welcome
