    well, its day 7 since germination. The plants are about 2.5 inches tall :), and looking good. I've planted the jiffy pots into 8 inch pots with 2 parts sunmix, and 1 part pearlite.

    Need some light guidance

    The guy there said around $350 for a 8 bulb 4 foot fixture, and the bulbs i think were around $25 bucks each. After dwelling on that for a few minutes i figured that buying an unwired 400 watt hps ballast (which is backwards compatable with mh lights, just not officially) and a light fixture and...

    if you have the money, look for a nice exhaust fan to vent air out of your chamber, and then get a can33 active charcoal filter...will de-smell the air very nicely.

    Need some light guidance

    i went down to my local hydro store today and had a good talk with the owner..he said that the 8 bulb t5 setups would use over 400 watts, (50 something watts a bulb) and he recommended to buy a 400 watt hps ballast and a mh light for vegging and a hps bulb for flowering. Also, he said that mh...

    Need some light guidance

    I plant to vent it with a 6inch in-line duct fan, and have a can 33 charcoal filter on the end. The exhause duct would be right above the hps light for extra cooling. I am also looking into the t-5 setup. for using blue and red spectrum, would 50-50 be a good idea, or would it be better to...

    3 42 watt cfls dont use much power. 12.6% of a kw/h. So depending on how long the lights stay on, and how much the power company charges for 1 kw/h will tell you the increase in the power bill. Say the lights are on for 18 hours a day, thats 2.268 kw/h's a day, and if the power company charges...

    CFL's and Aluminum Foil

    for my grow room in my closet, I used black and white poly. With smooth walls, and the white side facing in. Most hydroponics stores should sell it, cost me about $1.50/ft, and they store owner said it was around 90% reflective (dont know if thats true), good luck.
