    my 24/0 vs 16/8 comparison

    I'm subbed and I'll be watching, good experiment. I never have done 24/0 either, mostly for the energy savings, but also I feel like it is unnatural.

    Little mushroom grow log.

    Idk if you got an answer to your question, or found a good source, but I got these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002DXZCH8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00 from amazon a couple weeks ago and made tea with them. It worked really well, definitely got the desired effects I was...

    Ayahuasca experiences

    Never heard of allylescaline, but did a quick look up I'm surprised it's flown under my radar. Usually I'm all about new experiences. Is this something that's really new? I want to try it now haha. I'm not as connected as I used to be in my younger years but I'm going to put out some feelers it...

    Ayahuasca experiences

    I was going to try taking some syrian rue seeds I have along with some Hawaiian Acacia Confusa Root Bark Powder I got, I heard it is the same effects as DMT or ayahuasca. From my research (extensive youtube watching.....) I think this will work but I don't know......

    New grow room set up evaluation

    Yea I'd say that jardin tent justugh picked out is a better buy. As for the light I think that is a good starter lighting system. Yes, the dimmable ballast are gimmicky and don't really work, but don't dim it. Buy a 600w ballast and use it at 100% power, problem solved with the dimming issue...

    Did I get this right? Carbon filter, vortex, air cooled hood. Pics!

    Looks good dude, I'd keep the fan where it is though. It's preferable to blow cool air over the light as opposed to sucking hot air out.

    Low Pressure Sodium (LPS)

    So that's the spectrum on a Low Pressure Sodium bulb (found on wiki), I'm guessing that's why people don't grow with them

    400W Sour Cream, Bubba Kush, Mystery Grow

    Forgot to mention that I also added a second 6in inline fan. So now I have one fan+filter dedicated just to scrubbing the air and one 6in inline that brings in cold air from outside, blows it across the light, and vents it right back in to the tent to cool it down.

    400W Sour Cream, Bubba Kush, Mystery Grow

    Day 85 Alright, so I finally got off my lazy butt to take some pictures for an update. I've called a lot of audibles but eventually just went back to my trusty 600w and 400w combo. I tried the 1000w in the space I had and I didn't really like it. In the past I've grown with a 600w and a 400w...

    Light setup (A or B)

    I'd probably roll with setup B. I like my ducting to be in a straight as line as possible, makes it more efficient.

    Lighting and electricity questions with New grow.

    Oh, and yes the plants will do fine under HPS although MH is preferred HPS will grow cannabis just fine during veg and of course flower.

    Lighting and electricity questions with New grow.

    You'll be fine running just one 600w and fan, should be no problem. I run a 600w, 400w, and 2 inline fans on 15 amps. I would just look at your ballast, mine says it pulls 5.7 amps. TBH I'm probably running pretty darn close to my max cause with everything I calculate out to 11.7 amps, but I...

    correct distance to space 2 600 hps in grow

    I like to refer to this chart along with the one vostok posted For height at least. Concerning the spacing between the two lights, I'd have them placed so that there is enough light to give ample coverage for my space.

    12/12 tips?

    I use MH through the first 1-2 weeks of flower then switch to HPS. If you have 1000w I'd just throw it in there I don't think switching from 600w to 1000w is going to do any but good things for your girls.

    How's the price of this grow kit

    Haha, so testy. I was just trying to give the guy some perspective, I didn't spent money on an "good" (meaning expensive) tent and my grows have turned out fine. I guess it's a matter of what experiences you have, I've never had a problem with the current cheap tent I have (completed 4 grows and...

    How's the price of this grow kit

    I wouldn't buy a package from any site. You can usually put together the same exact equipment they have in their package for a way less price, and usually better quality stuff too. Just do a little legwork, it doesn't even take that much time or leaving the computer I'd just go to amazon and...

    Seedling/Germ advice

    The short answer is yes, you can use a 400w mh or hps at a distance for seedlings but it is not optimal. If you have the option to dim it I would.

    What size light for a 1 plant scrog?

    I'd roll with a cool tube 400w MH for veg, HPS for flower. Same advice though, you're going to have to exhaust somewhere because heat will be an issue. Or look in to CMH as I've heard they run cooler but idk that for sure....
