nahh you can get a quality panel for about 500$ that can flower like a +400W HPS for Veg you don't need as strong light and I actually believe you could grow seedlings and clones using them house hold LED bulbs can also get em with E14 and E27 fittings, cost less then 10$ a pics depending...

best light = sun light on a more seriously note, seedlings and cuttings aso don't need much light to thrive, sounds like you don't actually want to grow anything under em, just to get em started, so any low watt fluorescent would work great what ever works for you and is cheap I would say...

thanks for the reply bicit and yea I saw his CXA3070 thread the other day, look cool and similar to what I was thinking tho I would like some Red`s in the mix as well, maybe with a switch to turn em on for mid/late flowering ? let me ask another question, what is the different between them...

Thanks for the reply and the link, I´ll have a look at it And yes I wonder as well, but I do know we have a few good Ppl. around here, and some of them are in to DIY LEDs so there is a few Ppl. I hope to here from and I hope at least one of em can read between the lines and see what Im looking...

Hey Guys/Galz I´ll try to keep it short and simple Would love to build a LED Panel one day, but Im no Electrician, Im a Stainless steel smith, so have some basic knowledge's and access to aluminum/steel and tools aso. What I would like to do is build the most simple Panel, I don't care so...

small CFLs like them can be kept real close, its more of a heat question, I keep mine 2-4" away from my 49W T5HOs, maybe like 4" and let em grow up to 2" before I move any thing, seedlings don't require much light to thrive, but you can keep em so fare away that the seedling will stretch to get...

agree, its a lot of Watt put in to one unit, and I bet its not all quality parts inside, I could easily find better quality out there for about the same money, on less watt but Im sure they do just as well, using less power and maybe have less chance to break down with a much better warranty if...

dunno about Oregon, but they are crazy in my part of the world (Scandinavia) got a new test machine that can test for 7 different drugs in less then 5 minutes (you spit on a cotton stick) and if you get tested positive they take you in for a blood test, it can measure MJ at least a week back, if...

don't look like you got enough, need to be so much that you think it possible won't be enough left to start growing agin (pinch +80% off the shoot) if you take to little off it just continue to grow after a few days once it got over the chock

if you have two 250CMF ventilations so you can run the light and filter separately Im pretty sure it will work, tho you should still expect temperatures to raise a few over ambi temps I had like 88F with a 600W running, with a 6" (480CMF) vent on I got it down on 82F with a cool hood on the...

could look like PM (powdery mildew) could also just be lime from your water ? how is your humidity ? http://www.growweedeasy.com/white-powdery-mildew if you believe it is PM look in to H2O2 http://hubpages.com/hub/Hydrogen-Peroxide-for-Plants also after harvest there is a solution to it...

why not, I think most Ppl. say a 600W cover 4x4 ft as a rule of tump, and the core cover is 3x3 I used one in a 3x4 ft space, so why not 2x4, main key is to keep it cool as Im sure is your concern as well, if you can do that and keep em short enough for the light/distance (witch is about 12"...

hmmm I don't think it can be heat, my temps stays between 74 and 78F all the time (might drop to 72F doing night hours) had some heat issues back when I began to grow when I used a 600W HPS with out a cool hood at summer time, the leaves edges curled the other way (up) I know how shaded...

yea it works, but need to delude it or if you do get it, go for the small bottle with the drip tip, and just give your gallon of water a few drops (I mix 5 ml of the 3% in a gallon of water, you do the math :D) but if the Bugs are harmless there are no need to run out the door to get it, but IMO...

A little update, end of week 6 for my four Skunk 1# I notice some thing over the last few grows, maybe one of you guys/galz can help with some opinions, the further I get in to flowering (mostly starts around week 3-4 after the stretch) I begin to see my large fan leaves begin to cup a bit...

sure the Fox farm nutrients is great so you just use em, and remember, less is more, start on a 1/4 strength and work your way up a sure sign in Veg that the plant have used up most nutrients in the medium is when the bottom leaves begin to get light green for then turning yellow, as the plant...

about the nutrients and when to start to use it, well agin this is here you need to gain some experience and learn to read your plant`s but a good soil do contain enough food for the first few week`s and by doing a few repots along the way in Veg you really don't have to use much doing Veg IME...

about your Bug problems look in to H2O2 (the normal 3% most Ppl have at home works fine) have a read: http://hubpages.com/hub/Hydrogen-Peroxide-for-Plants some Ppl. don't like to use it, specially not in soil, as it also kills good bacteria, but I have good experience with it, also for over...

p.s. now after reading more of your thread, I would actually advice you to switch to the HPS and 12/12 for the Auto, as the HPS will help it develop its Buds better then the MH, but agin I would let the Regular plants decide it for you, as that is where your real yield will be

totally common to have different Pheno`s, but its not always the nicer looking one in veg that turn out the best at the end
