You can veg on HPS. A lot of people just use one HPS lamp for the whole grow. I used to do that until I set up a separate veg cab. I've been vegging under cfls in my veg cab and I was disappointed with the results. Nice tight nodes but slow growth. I put in a 150MH and they took off. I...

Well I am at high altitude in the pine forests of northern New Mexico. It's fabulously beautiful. Something like the drive up to Mt Lemon in Tucson.

Oh yeah! That looks niiiiice :) You did a great job on those canopies man. I wish mine looked like that. It's going to be good! When's harvest? I'm in the next state over. :)

Thanks Jessica. It's good to have the company. I expect to post pix of some trimmed cola's within a week. Trichs are about 50% cloudy right now. I hope to harvest when just a touch of amber shows. I did a test smoke of some fluff from the bottom and it seems to be a nice Indica high.

Sorry to have neglected this thread. C99#1 has been under 12/12 for 30days now. I will post pix shortly

Now the cfl jihadists are going to be on your back. I know this isn't PC but all light bulbs aren't created equal. Some are just naturaly brighter than others! I got the ballast kit on ebay for $35 and the bulb for $20. Another $20 tops for sundry items such electrical enclosure and mogul...

Really. cfls are a handjob. HIDs are real pussy. My plants are just zipping along now that I have the 150W MH and that's about 100w less than the cfls that I was using. Plus I was always burning leaves because you have to have them so close. I've ordered a 250W ballast. cfls are great for...

Seal, Yes those are fine for the first week perhaps two. I would try to add cold or bright white one too. Ideally it will be marked 6500K (in tiny print somewhere) Choice of soil is important and can make a big difference to your grow. I take it you are a brit? Find the UK Grower's thread...

I have one growing now that wouldn't flower until she was put under 12/12. She started to produce buds under 18/6 but then stalled for a month until 12/12. I would try 48hrs of complete dark first and see if that gets her going Autos tend to be flaky. Because they can't be cloned, the...

Yeah she's gonna be retarded. You can forget about college. But hey, retarded weed will knock you stupid!

well I just switched from cfls for vegging to MH. I had about 250W of cfls but the plants are doing much better on a 150W MH.

Is that 100W actual power consumption or 100W incandescent equivalent?

Dude, I have ADD too but I can stay on track for more than five words. Uhh....what's the topic again...?

PS You will not need your lamp for the first week of growth. In fact you can make do with a couple of 23W cfls for two weeks. Fire up the bulb in your box and see what temp you get.

He did 3 under 65W of fluoro and got 10g per plant? You have nearly 4x as much light. Your plants will grow much bigger. With a 250W MH over 5sq feet of canopy should yield 60g per plant! The rule of thumb is 0.5g per W of light. That's for MH. cfls yield less but I dont know how much. The...

Hey relax! :) You can start your grow a few days later. More important to start right than to start right away. I've just finished an auto grow. Here's what I think: Your cab looks really nice. Your 250W MH is about ideal for the floor space or canopy space that you have. You are...

Awright! Making budz! Definitely the fun part. Those brown spots dont look like any kind of nute def to me. I would think light or water burns or possibly fungus.

Update: Olive Oyl is now heavy with bud. She is going to give a big yield! I am going to do a test smoke this weekend and I may do at least a partial harvest. I feel I left the White Dwarf a week or two to late. She did put on more weight but the smoke is more couchlock than I would like...

In my setup the cooling for the light is a separate line isolated from the grow space air. This way I dont have to draw air through the carbon filter to cool the lamp. I have a 600W in a 5x3 closet 7' high. In the summer I need AC to control the temps

do you have the 400W in a cool tube?
