What should my cycle be from sprout?

I am on a budget can I buy Lightbulbs at hardware store?

Using x amount of these with powerbar?

using 5 foot growtent with soil.
 
The light cycle will be 18/6 you can buy bulbs from wallmart for about 2 dollars or so.

I use 4 30w cfls for it.
 
yep... some people have very good grows with CFL's.

I am currently using CFL's for my veg room/mothering room. I run those plugins like you have pictured above with splitters so I have 4 or so lights over each plant. I also have some hanging lower to hit the lower parts of the plant.

Good luck and keep us posted!

cheers
 
Being on a budget, don''t forget about smell removal. Even auto-flowers will make a smell. If your around the tent a lot, you may not notice the smell starting and increasing...but if in an apartment, your neighbors will. And if you vent the tent out doors without a filter, it could attract attention.

Supposedly Polar Express has very little odour
 
Huh??? Lol My plants are very happy and totally do stink. Why would you say that I'm wondering. Please elaborate so I can turn off extraction.
Because it's true, I've been growing and breeding for years and my garden never stinks (unless there is a problem) and I have never owned a carbon scrubber (no need)

most growers have no clue what happy plant is
 
preach son

never owned a carbon filter or ona etc
I can smell them when they get hot and when I foliar feed, or brush against them..pull a qp a week off my perp grow
 
I've read Hogbud's stuff and at first I thought he was crazy.....I thought I had happy stinking plants. Then after doing some nute-tweaks all-of-a-sudden my plants stopped smelling. I thought this was a fluke so I reverted back to the other nutrients and the smell came back.

It was like the smell was on a light-switch.

So I too am running up to 11 plants without a carbon filter and unless my plants are unhappy, I can't smell them....often I can stick my head into the flower room and STILL can't smell 'em.

His advice works!
 
I've never grown outdoors.....but I suspect that the ever-changing elements will make a plant unhappy.
 
Some basics,,,,,

they don't like the light too close (contrary to what you read in forums)
they prefer a mixed spectrum (blues & reds) HPS alone does not do this though some HPS bulbs have been made to include a bit of blue
they don't like to touch each other
they prefer a balanced nute regime
they don't like negative pressure (caused by sealed environments & fans pushing and pulling)
 
So its not available yet? Is there a charge for this book? Also I kinda like the smell of a pot plant lol. Fuck 40 years of growing unhappy plants, my bad!!!
