well if it means anything, I am not in a tent. This is actually a spare bedroom, but I did the best I could to cover the walls with an expensive highly reflective film.

while thats not a bad idea, dont you risk a chance of shocking the roots?

while I appreciate any advice that comes through, I think that you underestimate how much PAR is actually lost through distance. The visible light itself doesn't really matter (do you know how many of these novices are giving a shit about lumens? it's sickening) even without glass every few...

currently using a peat base with some coco mixed in. very similar to using coco. I actually have pretty good tap water. Oddly enough our city uses detroit tap water which is supposedly some of the best tap in the country. How would you keep your rez at 65 though? I don't have a dedicated AC...

Sure looks like it to me.

thats a flowering chart. A chart that isn't as helpful as it may sound. it says that any distance on 600 watt from 8 inches - 29 inches is optimal. Im not too experienced, but 29 inches is not what I would call optimal. Heat isn't usually an issue. because veg plants can handle higher temps...

I am a novice grower, on my third grow. My first two I did with soil that were pretty mediocre. I'm almost finished with my third grow now in a soilless peat mix, and it is going a hell of a lot better. I'm getting my system dialed in, and finally producing somewhat better yields from the looks...

Oddly enough im finding very little on this when googling. Most people are only concerned with light distance in flower. but I find that easy to figure out. My question is how far should the light be from plants during veg? some people say 3 ft, others say 2 ft, and some whackjobs put their...

A good site for information. a bad site for retail. Shipping prices are sky high.

Bump. Anyone use double ended?

Why kitty litter? If you wanted something inert why not just go with perlite?

I was looking more along the lines of something like a gavita or possibly a daystar. Something that would have a slightly smaller focused beam of light for better penetration This is the gavita 600 hortistar i've been looking at. 96% reflective. Can also change the aluminum part after it begins...

Do you stay in the 2 gallon until flower, or do you repot at a certain height/size?

Can you tell me a little bit about the vertical vs horizontal bulbs? I see that parabolics have both, but is there a big difference?

I have heard that it's better to slowly pot up because if you dump small clones with small roots into big pots you get less effective growth due to water mostly running past the roots

I have a bedroom to work with. But the plant space itself is roughly 4x4. I've been doing 9 plants in about a 3x3 square. I can cut down the number of plants as long as the yield is right. But I just feel like the batwing types are inefficient

I think that's part of my issue though. Sure these parabolics and open wings throw a lot of light everywhere. But imo it probably isn't efficient. The light spread is huge, the concentration/penetration can't be very good

At that point wouldn't I be losing a lot of the light to the ceiling? I haven't fully researched a bare bulb yet, but I suppose I'll do that when i get home from work.

I'm looking for a replacement for my adjust-a-wings. Im using a single 600w HID, and the adjust-a-wings to me just seem too inefficient. It throws light everywhere. I wanted to get a blockbuster and take out the glass but I think they come with both of the flanges out which means it would be...

I'd love to go with an sog grow. my issue is that my setup is very basic. A single light with about a 3x3 to 4x4 space. No other room for anything else. One day i'll have space for Multiple rooms, but for now its all i've got. i'll just have to do a bit of fimming and LST and see what I can get...
