    Okay, that pic isn't trying to pop up on here for me. If you need a better look, go to google images and type in Big Domina! Should pop up. It is at autoflower.net under the name PoopsMcDoogle. Unfortunately didn't get to smoke much if her. She was good too. Had that diesel/weird chemical taste...

    I got you, mang! Okay, you are going to want to do this first grow with some autoflowers. Go ahead and find you a good strain that finishes faster/fastest than others! Read breeders descriptions well because they can exaggerate times. It's a $$$ thang. So look around for other peoples reports to...

    On a smaller box though, you might only need one of those fans I suggested in my last post. Let's say for the outtake and maybe a smaller fan inside. There are quite a few variables and everyone's situation is different. That's why you've read conflicting info on this. Just experiment around and...

    Or a couple of these. You can get them for like 10-20 bucks each at Lowe's or off the net.

    Also, I recommend getting at least a 4in. inline fan!

    Is your intake and outtake in the same room? I'm assuming they are. This works fine, but yo need to keep some things in mind. Keep that room pretty durn cool and have some really good air movement inside grow closet. That is kinda how I'm doing it now and will be doing it soon. I keep my bedroom...

    Get the 400 dimmable. The heat difference between a 250 and 400 is small.

    Sorry. I forget shit sometimes. So, I guess if I can't add many more lights, I'm where I need to be for vegging anyways. Another thing, too. If you want your plants to grow faster, do not give them any dark period during until flower. Just keep temps in check to reduce stress. Cannabis is a C3...

    @EwokGremilin - Oh, yeah. Almost forgot. The different stages of growth require different amounts of lumens per sq.ft. Plants in the seedling and clone stage require about 400-500 lumens per sq.ft. In vegetative, about 2,500 lumens per sq.ft. And for flowering I've heard AT LEAST 7,000-7,500...

    If you have the money, def invest in a better light source. I'm very tight on money right now. I just made this box cuz I needed a small grow space for vegging and was cheap. My main flower room has 2 - 400w hps in 12-13sq.ft. It just takes so much extra time having only one grow room it seems...

    I didn't think that cfl's would get that hot, really. But they sure do! I knew there would be some heat but not that much. I am running 8-23wbulbs Right now. Will add the other four when the winter cold kicks in. My 8in. inline is on full blast right now and temp is right at 80. I usually use...

    And if you decide to build a box like mine or similar, forget the panda plastic, mylar, etc. Save you some money and buy some FLAT white paint. If you ever need any help, just holler at me. I am no where near the smartest people in here, but I know a little and like to help people. Especially...

    Thanks. I bought the thinnest ply at Lowe's for $14 and cut into 2' pieces. Took a 2x4 and made a base at bottom. Nailed ply at bottom only. The rest of wall and roof is duct taped on. Then took a $4 tarp and attached it with thumb tacks on top. The sides of tarp is velcro'd on for easy access...

    best lighting solution for 250$

    Just make sure you have all your other factors included too. Like how to deal with the heat that comes with whatever light you buy, etc., etc. My fan cost more than my lights did! You need to determine how much space you are growing in to determine how many lumens you need to fill that area. It...

    Okay, your grow box is 3'x2' which is 6sq.ft. You need so many lumens per sq.ft. (2000min., 5000mid., and 7000-7500 or higher is optimal). The best cfl's I've seen at Lowe's, etc. are the 23w, 1600-1640 lumens each. So do the math on how many you want. My veg box is 2'x2' and I have 12 of them...

    Miracle Grow Perlite?

    Yep. Those are the bags I'm speaking of. They have nutes. A small amount, but I didn't know if/how it would affect me growing organically. I've heard to avoid it, but wanted more input. I am newb to organics.

    Miracle Grow Perlite?

    I would, but I just got done chopping my entire crop down because the medium was staying over-saturated. I've never had any problems with that before, until this last attempt. There could be a couple different factors contributing to that over-saturation, so I'm not blaming the promix. But it...

    Miracle Grow Perlite?

    I'm gonna need some perlite for my next grow. I plan on ordering a good bag off the net when i get some flow. In the meantime, I need a lil extra to start my seeds. A friend has some Miracle Burn perlite I can have. I know that it has some kind of nutes in it. I was wondering if I could possibly...
