    All is well my friend.I'm having a really good run at minute. Check it out fella.
    I was considering either: (1) 250w + 400w mh + hps digital ballast + hammered aluminum hood, $150

    -or-
    400w hps/mh digital ballast + air cooled hood with 6" flange, 6"in-line duct flan + 25 ft of duct, $227

    potential issue is my current room runs around 77 degrees already, can I get away with the 250/400 without frying my crop or is a hood + exhaust required?

    You would probably be better with air cooled. A 250w would be ok with air movers. I used to use pc fans for extraction using a 250.
    hey so im taking a majority of the lighting in my grow room and starting over. I just got a 300w LED panel which id like to pair with an HPS, im just not sure what size/brand to get... would be for about 6ft^2. any recommendations?

    Personally for that space I would look at building a cob light. 4-6 cxb3590 individually hung on cpu coolers for manoeuvrability. I'm not really into hps but there are a lot of good brands out there. Depends how much power u wanna use. 400 would do Ok in a 3x2 a 600 would be overkill. There is a 315w cmh on the market which I have seen recommended quite a bit
    ah sorry i understand what you mean now, grow it in a small pot first for veg state then when i need to transplant just have the big pot already filled with (#3) straight away and waste no time doing it xD :) is that what you meant
    ok yeah im using auto flowering seeds, so i put in a big pot and just replace the compost with #3 when the time comes instead of transplant yeah? and ill check that mix out, also i can only fit like a medium size plant in my box say maybe 25cm by 15cm, soon ill upgrade and make a proper wooden one etc with better/more fans :P
    ah cheers man, its even at my local store so no delivery or anything, and ill pick up some of the tomato feeder i looked at it, its got the magnesium in it, wont even cost me more than £10, thank you man, when you change from #2 to #3 do literally take the entire plant out of the soil or keep a tiny soil base for the transplant, ive only ever grown Venus fly traps :P, but yeah ive learnt so much from you and SOMEBEECH you guys are awesome <3 I think ive got everything i need now, once ive got everything planted next week ill make a new thread and lots of pics and let you know how its going :D
    hey man, by using that compost would i even need to use fertilizer for the vegging state if i moved it into new compost after 6 weeks? as i have miracle grow for the flowering stage, i will be able to buy better fertilizers once i get this first grow done, will have more money saved up :P
    Tossed up a grow thread to throw updates on if your interested: Amaximus' Half-Assed CFL/LED First Grow™ (Now Open for Business)
