Man, I just did my second and final transplant on them and things are not well. Yesterday I was looking for a bag of soil without the time released like someone had recommended and all I found was manure and humus soil. I remembered reading something on here about using that so I went with it...

Thanks Toke, you all are very helpful and believe me I will take your advice. Here is a picture of a leaf of my biggest plant. Recently the leaves on it have been turning an unhealthy dark and kind of withering. They are not smooth and shiny like the other plants. It has not effected the growth...

Cinci, thanks for the input. It's probably because of the time released fertilizer that I used (the kind you sprinkle on top of the soil) instead of the liquid kind that everyone recommends. During flowering I am planning on using a liquid blooming fertilizer that I hope will make up for this...

Here is some pictures showing their progress. They are 15 days from sprout here. Is this about the size they should be? I have been wondering if it is about time to do another transplant, they are in 8 inch pots now. What do you guys think?

Well we make sure and always get the same kind. They have a starburst on the cap with skirt-like rings on the stem. Is that the same kind you grow indoors? What kind of medium do you grow them in? I thought the only ones that made you trip came from a pile of cow shit. Is that why you grow your...

I am not too familier with buying mushrooms but when my friends and I feel like tripping we find the closest field with cows in it. It is a really crazy trip. Are these the same kind that you guys buy? I am sure indoor ones are much higher quality. Just letting you know how we do it down here in...

Yeah I did. I didn't put the cover back on just because I thought it might make them hotter. But I assure you it is safe, they are all connected securely. I am an electrician.

Thanks for the help, guess I would have been better going with Hps from the beginning. Live and learn.

Well my room mate has been out of the country for the last couple months so I kind of just hijacked his room to start. He will be getting back soon so my setup will be moved into my closet. I should have plenty room. Those things better get bigger! Good question. I guess no one has ever flowered...

Does anyone have any experience with flowering with metal halides with about the same wattage as mine (2 x 175 watt)? If they are not going to get me a good yield I guess I need to get an hps in the mail headed this way. I have come to far now to not get any rewards in the end. Thanks.

Thanks, I did a lot of reading on here before I began to put my plans into action. Actually I was hoping someone on here could tell me from experience if these lights were enough to go the entire grow and get a good yield. I realize hps are better for the flowering stage but some people report...

This is my first time around. Those big lights are two 175 watt metal Halide. I have two four-foot flourescents for side lighting and a cfl just cause I had an extra one. That is a piece of sheet metal I am using on one side for a reflector. They are about 10-15 days old and are in 8 inch pots...

I know I have seen this question on here before but I have been looking back for the thread for thirty minutes now and can't find it. I am having trouble uploading and posting pictures on a thread. It tells me the picture is too big and I have tried to resize it and am still having trouble. Is...

no one knows of a good fertilizer for the flowering stages? I believe if I pick the right one it will increase my yield considerably. Is this true or does it have more to do with the lighting?

Everyone on here talks about mixing their fertilizer with their water. I chose to use the time released. Can I expect my plants to grow to their potential with this kind or should I shop for a liquid fertilizer? I am planning on switching when they begin to flower. Any recommendations for which...

My little ones are eight days old and are 4-6 inches tall. The leaves look nice and broad and are growing, but my stems seem too skinny. I have plenty light, two fans blowing directly on them and a time released fertilizer in the soil. Just some really good bag seed. I water every other day. Are...

Actually I work at an electrical company and found them while looking for material in the shop. I had heard of metal halide being good for growing on this site. So I discreetly asked my boss and made a really good deal because he had no need for them. How much they sell for from the store...

Haha, had me worried for a second. Today was the first day under the new lights and they grew more than the first eight days of their life under the flouros. I'm pretty pumped up. Thanks for the advice..

The budget to run them? How much should I expect my electric bill to jump from running two 175 watt metal Halide lights on an 18/6 schedule?

I recently upgraded from four 4 ft. fluorescents to two 175 watt metal halogen fixtures. I realize these lights are much more powerful and am wondering if it would be beneficial at all if I left the fluorescents, possibly for side lighting. I am not sure if they would even make a difference now.
