well, you can do it for sure. keep it clean as possible and check humidity everyday. and imo, that isn't enough light, but then again i hate CFLs and know nothing about them.

for me it's either my t5 or HPS

There is No way it will be enough. Also having 1 bulb only will not allow you to have it 5-6cm away from the top of each pot.
I have one 45W CFL lamp on top of the baby pots (check picture) and I can tell they are not enough. Mabe with the proper refflective material it can be. But 93w for the whole 3-4 first weeks does not sound like a success story to me.
The mature ladies on the left share a 200w CFL lamp at about 7-10cm away and so far they seem to be happy with that.
Good luck with whatever you decide is right for you though...
BTW, is your avatar the purple Jems?

idk man, we'd have to compare results in yield and size to asses somehting like that. just because you get by with a minimum doesn't mean HPS is overkill.....

Does anyone know what the difference in yield would be from a 400wat to a 600wat HPS?

I have a DR100 and don't know what would be best.

haha right on...

do you typically use both the sun and artificial lights? i've always thought about it, but does it stress the plant?

What types of nutes have you seen success with on the "autoflowers"? I've been using monster bloom and pure blend pro bloom 1-4-5, with Fox Farm Ocean Forrest soil. It seems like with the amount of nutes already in the soil that it would be over kill to add nutes. Thoughts????

With FFOF as you say, you really don't need much if any nutes at all, especially during Veg. I have FFOF and I used a couple additives during Veg (an enzyme and a silicon solution), but no nutes. Once they started to flower I opted to use something for bloom to promote bigger buds (Liquid Bloom from Dyna-Gro), and I started using Molasses about 10 days into flowering. I have no plans to use anything else whatsoever, unless I see a deficiency.

Help how long till havest do u recon shall i start to flush soon?

Really nice grow! I'll let others comment on whether or not you should flush, but it would be helpful to have an extreme close up of a couple of the buds, in focus. Definitely looks close to me.

Lookin real good petey! Its hard to try to tell someone how long to go still but id say atleast a week if not two weeks or so I would probably start flushing in no later than a week. That is just my opinion and its really hard to try to tell someone by looking at pics but they look like they are nice and mature and fattening up but not many withered pistils to help indicate ripening.

My thoughts exactly.

I have heard of one guy that switching to 12/12 did help his plants bud. But then again, the plant may have just went into flowering. Hard to tell. They take a long to time flower, some will not flower at all. I switched to 12/12 myself, as I cant see the harm in it at this point.

Thanks for the info. Hope others that bought Nirvana Autos chime on on their experience.

a 400w would be best for that tent unless youv got a bloody good extractor bro or a cool tube reflector coz of the heat and they say with hps you can get a gram a watt so about 200g give or take bro!

I started 1-Blue Mystic and 1- Bubblicious 6 weeks ago. I'm out for a few days so can't post any pics right now but will when I return. The Mystic is 23" tall and flowering nicely. The bubble however is still vegging. Not a sign of flowering at all, bushing nicely though and is 21" tall. I've run 20/4 the entire grow so far. Hydro, 600 Watt. They are Nirvana and so far excluding bubble won't flower looking good so far. I'm not sure if I should go to 12/12 to help encourage the Bubble? Any recomendations guy's? It's only my second grow. Grew Jock Horror feminized first 2 seeds. Ended up with 10.5 oz's. Any help is appreciated. Thx!!
