pretty much after the seedling phase... of the next grow ..... after youve ran the same strain a few times you can tell when it starts to fade out 3 months or so on 23/1 or so and you can start to tell or i can anyway

gotcha, thanks man didn't know bulbs died that soon. will keep them fresh!
 
they still work but .......... in a ideal world you want your gear 100% .......... 100% of the time
goes for watering , nutes ( not necessarily price but how and when and quality ) , air flow ,temp,
smell control is more important to me than lighting ....... everything has to be dialed in so you are not cutting your own throat on yield .... that way your time is not wasted running sub par

Yeah it's gonna require alot of time dedication from what I can tell lol, but that's okay I actually have a lot of free time these days.. and so since you've been doing this a long time just a question,

What are you preference humidity levels to keep a room during seedling stage, veg stage, flowering?
 
my setup runs 55 -60 normally unless it rains hard for a while then it may go upwards of 70 the day after
seedlings 65-75
veg 50-65
flower try and get it low but its hard to get lower then 50 here without a dehumidifier which i dont have so ....... bongsmilie but the AC temp setting can play a role in this too :D

Yeah I also won't be able to get it much lower than 50% during flowering, hope they still turn out well (:

yeah I agree start with a good foundation screw wasting money for a short term solution.. however i have limited grow space (MAYBE 6x6 are with a height of 5 ft) so for at least the time being I think a 400w ballast would be perfect for me

5 ft is doable. Stick with indicas like OGKush

I just don't know much about LEDs cuz i never really looked into them, im kinda uncomfortable with them

Yeah I hear that a lot but in reality they're not such a scary thing. No heat issues is a big plus. No light burn. No issues. Just need to take it a bit easier on the nutes at first and add calmAg throughout the grow.

Get a 400w or 600w hps, got mine on amazon for 150, 600w digital dimmable ballast with mh and hps bulbs, timer and ratchet straps. The ballast has an option to dim to 50% (300w) and 75% (450w)
