    First time CFL Grow

    Well, I use a 600HPS without air cooling and aim for a final distance of between 16-18inch. So I guess your 12-16 inch seems about right with a 400HPS. I would probably put it 24 inch to start with and drop it 2 inch per day to your desired height. It gives your ladies time to adjust to the...

    First time CFL Grow

    Nice upgrade dude! I am certain you won't regret it! Just be careful not to shock your girls by putting the HPS too close too soon. Just drop it a little closer each day to you reach your target distance, and add a fan pointing underneath the bulb until you pick up an inline. Good luck with the...

    DWC LED 600W Starting from Seed :)

    Looking good dude. Black jack looks nice, I checked out some pictures. Really interested to see how your 600w fs LED performs. With the limited space you have and with only running 2 plants, have you considered using a scrog screen to increase yield? Not sure how the light penetration of the...

    Blue Dream, Jack Herer, and Pineapple Express

    Looking really awesome mate. The blue dream and pineapple express - look so different from each other - but equally delicious! Will be interesting to see what sort of weight you pull using the LED. Do you plan to make hash with the trim? With frosting like that I'm sure it would be bomb!

    DWC LED 600W Starting from Seed :)

    Really cool, clean looking build on your room, nice work! Also props on the quality of your first post, very detailed. I'm running nft currently but I'm planning on looking at DWC in a couple of grows time. I look forward to seeing your set up. Best of luck with the grow! You picked a strain yet?

    2nd grow attempt

    How hot your room gets is dependant on many factors. Firstly, cubed footage of the room. Obviously a bigger space takes more energy to heat up. Running my 4 ft 6 tube T5 in a tent that is 40 cubic feet with no extraction and just a couple of venting flaps open, with ambient room temp at 62...

    2nd grow attempt

    I grow in hydro, so I'm not really the man to help you here. However, my thinking would be that you are going to have to sort those pests out sooner or later, and sooner is better than later! If your roots get damaged the whole plant will suffer, for sure. Good sized, healthy root mass developed...

    2nd grow attempt

    Don't want to hijack tokes' thread and there are many variables about your setup I don't know such as size of room and ambient temp etc. Pm me if you want more information I will gladly help

    2nd grow attempt

    I am using a 4 ft 6 bulb T5 fixture in my veg room. It produces much more heat than I would have guessed. As the bulbs are 54w each, the fixture is 324w and therefore roughly half the wattage of my 600w HPS. I would estimate the total heat produced is roughly half that from my HPS, so therefore...

    Scrog Screen Design and Height

    Alright bud, I would say you need your screen as low as possible to maximise your grow space. Obviously you need to be able to get under your screen for maintenance/trimming, and you need room for the stems and airflow. So you have a 400w HPS air cooled w/glass; thats great - you should be...

    newbie needs advice

    Keep a mother plant. Madness to devote space that could be used for flowering to produce seeds, when you could keep a mom and use the extra space to grow more flowers. Would give you the dollar to buy as many seeds as you want. All you need is a veg chamber and a flowering chamber. Anyway...

    Why do you need to breed seeds when you can take cuts?

    newbie needs advice

    If you want an honest answer, I think you are going for too much too soon. Keep it simple at first. If you have never grown a plant out, how do you expect to be able to have the skills needed to require a breeding chamber? Not trying to hate, just think you need to realign your ideas with...

    newbie needs advice

    Hi, Before I attempt to give you some input, I need to first understand, when you say 'I'm new to this at the moment', do you mean you have not grown before?

    Hexagonal 'honeycomb' SCROG - drop ya knowledge!

    Thanks for the reply ttys, I did realise it would be of minimal benefit (if at all!), but any slight improvement on efficiency is a plus, right? How come the hexagonal grid will stretch? I would have thought so long as it was securely attached to the entirety of the outside of the frame, all...

    Hexagonal 'honeycomb' SCROG - drop ya knowledge!

    I love growing SCROG style, as it allows for mega yields from a small space, and is very efficient at getting the most out of your lighting. Every SCROG screen I have seen without exception has a standard grid layout. I was thinking, would the spacing of the screen be more efficient if the...

    Help needed with building a diy grow ''tent''

    Hi, A quick eBay search reveals you can have a 1.2 x 1.2 x 2m tent for less than 70 euros. I'm sure it can't be that much more expensive than building one, and it can be taken down in 5 minutes and packed away in an emergency. It is of course totally up to you, but I would still recommend the...

    Help needed with building a diy grow ''tent''

    Hi, First of all, good luck with your grow! scrog would also be a good alternative to sog, and would allow you to choose a sativa dom hybrid (C99?) if you would prefer. Regarding building your own tent, I really don't see the point. You can pick up a 1.2 x 1.2 x 2.0m tent for next to nothing...
