I can't. Don't have the space to run higher wattage lights. a 250w would probably be to high wattage for the space. I might buy a 2nd 70w MH but I'll do better this time since I know better now that there are bulbs that have a higher K rating then the one that I got. Also ordering things online isn't an option because I don't have a cc or any thing so cash only is the only way that I can buy things. the other thing that I might do is find if there's a ballast that can use MH and HPS and I don't have to switch the settings on it.
Well I think I'm not going to grow with CFLs unless its with 13w CFLs for clones but also mix it into the veg area to help make the MH lights last linger but I also might go with 35w MH setup for veg instead. As for flowering I'm only would with MH and HPS lights no CFLs. Since I will have a flowering area that I will be putting clones when I start cloning. Also I plan on going with 96% reflective mylar. Its only $20 to $30 for 20 to 30 feet.
These ones are going to be moms and dads so they are going to be veged for life and will be used for taking clones off of.
Hey. Thanks for dropping in. Thank you. My setup was a find things around the house that I can use to set up a grow space since nothing is made for the size and such and building it wouldn't be a over night thing since it requires the equipment to be able to build your perfect grow space and as of right now I still need a inline fan for my cool tube and the dryer hose tubing for it.
Thanks. my next buy might be a 2nd 70w MH bulb and ballast since heat isn't a big issue or I might buy an inline fan and tubing for my cool tube.
Cool. Yours are looking very nice. Once the light comes on for mine I will take a update pic for today. It almost seems like since I changed the CFL for MH the plants doubled in size in 2 to 3 days with it. I can't wait to clone them and to see how many females I get. I've read that people have gotten 1 male out of 5 to 6 seeds.thats awesome man. keep it goin. ive got new photos on mine as of a few mins ago..
I am planing of doing IBL my self. I might order a 2nd batch of BC Ice and grow those seeds out and see if I can find some thing even better.i want a male. just one.
then ill "sex" a little bud and have some seeds. plus i will be cloning as well.
my buddy is gonna let me barrow his MH and HPS lights so i cant wait either!!
Thanks. I did the ballast, cap and igniter pic because I got some messages of people thinking it didn't run off one hahaha. Its not alot of light loss for me to really care about since all the main light is hitting the tops.
