Hey everyone !
Forgot our old account info, so here we go with a new account! :bigjoint::blsmoke:
We're on IG as well if anyone wants to check us out, same handle "Headstash_grow". Got an Archive Seedbank Clearwater Kush pack just started, wish we could start a journal on here. Hopefully we get a more established membership soon to share the grow.

Hello all, newbie grower from Canada ! Starting my first indoor grow soon . Pretty basic setup 3x3x72 tent , 4 inch exhaust and carbon filter , 3 gallon fabric pots , advanced nutrients micro , veg, bloom nutes .240 watt meijiu quantum board LM561c with dimmer . Not sure what kind of soil I'm using yet. Not alot of options where I live so I'm thinking pro-mix organic or hp? Any tips or suggestions welcome! Cheers

How's it going brotha ! Sounds like a nice set up, although you may want to up the wattage to better show your plants potential in flower.
Been loving Happy Frog soil for the longest, its great for seedlings and clones, through veg-flower. Just gotta use mosquito bits for the fungus gnats, and watch the PH after about week 6-7 since it drops due to high amount of peat in the mix.

Closest place to get that soil is 2.5 hrs drive one way away from me so I've already passed over that option unfortunately . My budget allowed for the 240 watt only at this time and it was pushing it already ! Do you think running some high wattage led household bulbs would help out? My wife will RIP my nuts off if I buy another light like that. Shes been pretty good about this so I dont wanna poke the bear .

Haha dang that's a bummer man, really thankful that my lady share's the same love for growing as me. I think CFLs would be your best bet buddy, but if you have 20+ watt LEDs lying around then i'm sure they'll do alright. In terms of CFL bulbs you should use "Daylight" 6500K for Veg and "Soft White" 2700K for Flower. They Get a little warm but with proper air flow im sure it'll be more than fine for supplementary lighting. If we're not mistaken 400W is the minimum recommended wattage for a 12 week cannabis flowering cycle, since i believe on average cannabis grows at a 35 watt per week rate. You wouldn't want to run short on the required light energy to reach your plants desired photosynthetic potential. So try to get it up there if possible.
If any of that info is incorrect we would love to have someone chime in. :joint::joint:

Hey everyone, just recently got interested in growing and have a shed already built with a 4x16x8 area to work with.
Now, what I was planning to do was convert the shed into 3 or 4 sub-sections, making each room 4x4. I'd also like to eventually seperate two of those rooms into an individual flowering and veg room.
So I was wondering what would be my best option for lighting? I was originally looking at the timbergrowlights 4x4 COB with a mix of 3000k and maybe 4000k spectrum lights to start out with, for both veg and flowering. Where this light is $800, I was hoping for cheaper alternatives that can make use of this space.
Any input would be really appreciated, thanks.

Welcome, sorry i cant help, not based in the U.S. but I'm sure someone with adequate knowledge will be able to point you in the right direction. Your grow space sounds fantastic & your plans for further development are good, best of luck!

4 x 600W HPS would probably cost half.....
