Add some more light. Get a small hps for flowering and keep temps 75-80 and rh 40-50.

Like I said in your other thread, ventilation? Specially if your thinking of running a 1k hps! I'd prob ditch that walmart light and add some 68 watt cfl's for now, or you could go with the smaller ones. Are you just trying to veg now?

Tips I have for you, take them or leave them..
-Thermometer/hygrometer
-Ph pen
-proper ventilation

You should always know what your temps and Ph are at!


Under over 1000 watts of HPS, CFL's wont do squat but waste electricity and add heat.
LoL, really?

Yeah im just planning on vegging, there will be more ladies going in the veg room soon, this is just a start, i have 1/2 a garage that will be the bud room so no hps going in this little room i just wanted a inclosed room for veg, not looking get super tall plants, planning on scrogging what i can, planning on at least 10 plants in my veg room, so with those two t8 fixtures as a base, if i surround the fuck outa the sides with single bulb cfls it should pan out i'd think, dont want hps/hid in that room, and from what i've reseached cfls aren't a waste of time, my notget the huge yields but it's worth doing thats for sure, thanks all or the advice, more pics will be posted soon

speaking waste, 1000w hps for two plants? one 600w hps will do just fine.


not only going to grow 2 plants, im legal and have the space, once in bud i plan to have at least six, up to 24 depending on what method i use

in that case- ya, a 2x600w will be better, imo, if you scrog. good luck, sounds like a good setup.

yeah thats what i've gathered too, i'll be going w/ 2 x 600w hps and run some ducting, scrog it hopfully, that way i can get super close to the canopy also, how many little cfl bulbs do u think I'll need to get, never too many im sure..... for the veg room that is

has anyone ever heard of supper cropping, then scrogging? it'll prolly take awhile in veg but it might be worth it

BTW, your plants don't look so great. Not bagging on you just saying you have a PH prob or overwatered but somethings wrong.
good luck on your set up and grow though.

:peace:
