never used gorilla, used seedsman several time, good place

 

[klozetgrow]

Thx have a list for both each about a 100 about the same amount of seeds and freebies for both so just trying where the majority go to

 

[klozetgrow]

Think seedsman might win out good reviews across the board

 

[klozetgrow]

Sending cash to seedsman or use a card conected to ur address? Have the order number ready and everything but trying to decide how to pay leaning towards cash

 

[klozetgrow]

Seed order in, supplies just about all here should have everything besides seeds by the 2nd hoping seeds are here within a couple weeks

You cant go wrong with a mag ballast. I used a 1000w HPS given to me by my friends dad he used 1991, i aquired it in 2004 and used it for my aquarium for a couple years and then my grow for a couple years, just raw ballast with the ignitor and capacitor all sitting loose on a double stacked tile with a little fan blowing on it. ended up selling it off to the next guy online. I don't think those things can break LOL

 

[klozetgrow]

Lmao nice plus don't have to worry about a cable guy knocking at your door

I hope you sprung for the tracking/registered mail with a cash payment sent. I was stoked about the money I saved on the site by paying cash....until I found out its was almost $30 to mail a 2 oz package to Spain Registered Mail.

Guess I should mention at this moment am customer building the "garage cabinets" they are going to be built in two sections the part without the garage door rail that extends the full 9' up the a 7' section under the garage rail only going 8' up. The first 8x3x9 area has been built just need to put doors on air seal it and cut desired holes ect on order is one air cooled 600watt hps the 425 cfm carbon filter with ducting 25' x 4' roll of mylar sideing have the wall ac unit then pack of 7 gal smart pots advanced nutes cal mag general hydro 3 part nute system gen hydro ph up down should mention the light and carbon filter are ipower( any experience with these?) And then the seeds amnesia kush gorrila glue widow and a jack diesel plus some freebies Cinderella 99 Honeysuckle pineapple chunk critical kush and chronic thunder all fem seeds no autos want to say that sums it up

That's a weird hodgepodge of different dimension spaces and light set ups. Any reason you can't just do one flowering space or maybe two matching ones on opposing light schedules if the power is an issue?

Need two flower areas cause I want to get male plants and do some mixing while still having a flower area going and figured that space didnt need to be as big as the first flower room. built in floor to ceiling cabinets to get max height also wanted a dedicated space for drying and vegging of course


When I paid it was like 9 something however now concerned,cause you aren't supposed to send currency

 

[klozetgrow]

And eventually would like 3 sets of plants running 3 weeks apart

Digital ballasts produce about 30% more light than mag ballasts.

That makes sense. You'll have to use the charcoal filter for the breeding space. You'll also have to set it up with decontamination in mind. The best, and really only, way to fully clean your seeding space of pollan is by spraying with water. Plain water will do. It doesn't just rinse it away but makes it unviable . You don't need bleach or anything. You will need to maintain negative air pressure with your exhaust while spraying to keep any pollan from escaping before it gets wet. You'll also need to use a light fixture that you can hose down and be sure is dried off completely before plugging back in (of course unplug before spraying). The best option for this, I think, is an hps in a batwing or a very well sealed current generation air cooled hood. The space itself will also need to be set up to allow control of all water, in and out, without letting any pollan escape. If this space is going to be on top of another space with powered equipment you'll want to find a way to water proof it to prevent water from escaping from one space to the other.
