    Lighting Question - 150w vs 400w hps

    Thanks you two... Even tho I am still wondering if the yield difference will be significant... Does anyone have experience going from a 150 to a 400 w hps in a small box like mine? I am not familiar with the 400's rate of growth compared to the 150 in such limited space. If I was sure if it...

    DAY 6 from seed!

    Iamstoned is right, I said the opposite of what I meant. The "red" are similar to the HPS and are better for flowering. The "blue" or "daylight" are more similar to the MH and are better for vegging. Sorry for the confusion. I need to ease up on the bong hits and hit up my bed instead.

    DAY 6 from seed!

    Don't mess with your plant this early in it's life. If you are worried about vertical growth us Low Stress Training to keep it under control. (LST is really just a fancy way of saying bending your plant and tying it down so it grows bushier, more horizontally instead of straight up.) Anyways...

    Lighting Question - 150w vs 400w hps

    So I have my grow setup almost complete. I am using an Ikea "wardrobe," the dimensions are 15" x 22" x 72". This leaves me with roughly 2.3 square feet of floor space, just enough to fit 2 bubble buckets in there snugly. I am planning on growing 2 feminized seeds at a time. Onto my...

    DAY 6 from seed!

    I agree with the earlier posts that your plant looks stretched (doesn't have enough light), but it does look healthy... Just go to Home Depot and get the biggest CFL they have, my local HD has 42w cfls (200w equivalent), but I know some HDs have the 300w equivalent bulbs (I think they are 68...

    Which Seeds To Buy - Poll Included

    Thanks to everyone that voted! I am still leaning towards Mix A, I have heard only good things about Church, Lemon Skunk, and GWS. Combine this with the fact that Strawberry Haze is the one strain I am most interested in growing out of all the strains. That only leaves Hawaiian Snow, which I...

    Which Seeds To Buy - Poll Included

    Bump... 3 votes, no comments... I think I'm gonna go with the first option: Mix A (Excited about the strawberry haze and the church) Unless someone has a mind blowing argument for one of the other packages.

    Which Seeds To Buy - Poll Included

    Hello everyone, After months of anticipation I am finally getting ready to move into a new place that I will be able to grow. I have one successful grow under my belt from bagseed and it went pretty well, but I wish I had some better genetics. The grow setup will be a 2 plant SCROG under a...

    Filter-Hood-Fan Question

    Mongo, Although I truly do appreciate your concern, I think you're getting the wrong idea. I do not live in an apartment building or an apartment complex. I call my living situation an apartment, but in reality I live in a house that is divided into two parts, first and second floor. Our...

    Filter-Hood-Fan Question

    SmokingRubber said exactly what I was thinking. I want a constant supply of fresh air to my growbox, at least during the daytime (lights on) period. This leads me to probably the simplest question I have asked all day but I can honestly say I don't know the "norm". I was planning on keeping my...

    Filter-Hood-Fan Question

    Thanks for the input, I just really don't have the extra funds right now to splurge on something like that. I do work during the day, and I live in a cold climate, so the outside temps will be below or around freezing for most if not all of my grow. My apartment is kept at a (IMO) comfortable...

    Filter-Hood-Fan Question

    This passive intake would be the entire width, 40", of my box. I was thinking I would run a 2x4 across the middle for support, meaning that each level would be about 3". Alot of air can be moved through a 3x40 passive intake if I am not mistaken

    Filter-Hood-Fan Question

    Dirt - I will put my fan in the attic, that's a good idea I just hadn't thought about it before. Mongo - I have a passive intake that I thought would be more than adequate. The thumbnail shows what my intake looks like. I know it is ideal to vent the hood/box separately, I was...

    Filter-Hood-Fan Question

    Hey guys quick question. I have a relatively small grow box, 24" x 40" x 72". I am buying a 400w HPS with either a cooltube, euro reflector or easycool6... I will also be purchasing a 424 CFM Inline fan with carbon filter combo . From what I have read it is better to pull air through a...

    Cooltube/Vent question, 400W HPS question

    I was thinking about getting that 6" fan/filter combo, I just wasn't sure it was necessary, but I think I'll just splurge for it, knowing it will probably be worth it in the long run. I was also considering putting a smaller piece of ducting on the opposite side of the Euro hood and just...

    Cooltube/Vent question, 400W HPS question

    First of all I would just like to say thanks to all of you on here, I was successful on my first grow with just some basic CFLs and soil but I'm lookin to step it up now. I couldn't have done it without the help of you veterans that really know your shit... Thank you! For my new grow...

    Lighting wattage question

    Yeah I understand. If you do decide to invest in a large light, 1k or so, you should get another HPS and then just buy a 250 MH light for flowering. Good luck with your grow
