I stay with my aunt who allows me to cultivate. My first grow ever I used a 75 watt HPS that was meant to be mounted on a garage or outside. i wired it to an extension chord i cut. Well she claimed it made the bill go from 50 to 200 in one month of 24/7 use. I would LIKE to use this light for my...
Ever since summers hit my tents gone from an average of 73 degrees with lights on to like 88 degrees. I am running a 400 watt hps and a 600 watt hps w/a cool tube. using a 6" inline fan pulling through a carbon filter and pushing through the cool tube, and out of the tent.
Should I invest in a...
My plants have a severe magnesium defficiency so i mixed epsom salt w/water at a ratio of 2tablespoons/1gallon. i mixed about 5 gallons for my 7 plants and 1 baby. i used it all on them, and made a foliar spray for them too.
Did I use too much salt????? I'm afraid from what i'm reading i may...
Growing 8 females (pics below) under 1000k hps light and a little supplemental cfl lighting, until i'm done vegging. I am using Miracle Grow organic soil with perlite. I mixed them together myself.
The reason I am posting here today is because 3 of my babies have brown spots forming on the...
Plants are about 2 weeks old, under 6 24watt CFLs, 4 5k spectrum 2 2700 spectrum. Grown from bagseed, in re-used fox farm soil.
pics attached. should i start to LST? they will be in this box for the duration of their life. so i need them small.
I want to grow 5 autos and at the same time while the light is running 18/6 I want to veg 5 fem plants at the same time, and switch the lights to 12/12 when the autos are done, and flower for 8~ weeks.
My question to all of you with more experience than I have (not much,) is this reasonable...
I have a bunch of foxfarm soil from my previous grow. Is it all good to re use? I was wondering if i should buy a bag of 'marine cuisine' and mix it in or anything?
growing 5 auto's so i'm only going to use nutes during the flowering stage. i assume the nutes in the soil have been totally...
where can i buy cfls for vegging? i bought 4 24 watts today but theyre 2700k, and i can't find anything in the 5k range except online. and i don't want to wait.
thanks in advance!
I've got six y connectors that allow for 2 bulbs, about 6 100 watt cfls and a couple 75s. I need to use them to baby my autoflowers until I use my 400 watt hps. Do I need more or is this sufficient?
Alright i'm not growing that much but i'd just like to get some perspective on the subject; does suddenly exponentially increasing your electric use ever cause suspition? I'm only going to be running a 400 and 600 watt hps and 2 inline fans, a 4" and 6". my bill used to be about 60 a month. i'm...
I'm looking to get a 600 watt hps to add to my 400 watt, to complete my tent. my question is, should i get one with a cool tube, or does it really matter? i will have a 6" exhaust fan and a 4" to bring cooler air in. my 400 watt does not have a cool tube, and right now i only have a 4" to vent...
Just bought a bale of promix soil. Is it good to go out the bag or should I mix in some other stuff (perlite, bat guano, earthworm castings, etc..) noob here so I'm clueless
Second time grow here and i just bought a tent to make things easier, instead of building an enclosure. its 5x5x6. I currently have a 400 watt hps, and a bunch of cfl's just sitting in a box.
My question: I know that my light is not big enough for my tent. Until after this grow I doubt I'll...
Trying to do all organic nutes for 5 autoflowers I'm about to grow. What are my options? Total nub lol sorry. I've heard good things about fox farms nutes.
I've got a 5x5x6 grow tent and a 4" vortex inline fan that should pump about 180 cfms i think. Is this big enough? running the fan full speed up against one of the tents exhaust holes didnt seem to produce much suction.. so yeah. I'm going to be running a 400 watt hps w/detatched ballast but the...

What in your opinion is the best mixture to make soil? I'm going to be growing 5 autoflowers soon and would like to mix my own soil and use nutrients this time. Used foxfarm last time and it was aloottt of money. thanks in advance!
also, what a good regime of nutes for an auto strain?
just ordered a 5x5 grow tent off of ebay, this one to be exact:
