Hey, I use 1000HPS and I have the same issue about light penitration. These HPS create such a bushy plant that about half my plants struggle for light unless my plants are space 2-3feet apart. You will not have a large deminisioning in returns JUST quality will be hinderd.. Some will argue this...

Well, I would not say its really what you want to be using as measurment. If you are going to veg with compacs make sure its 125Watt plus.. If you are going to aim for more then 2 feet tall make sure you give them 5weeks with a good nut feed and have ample air supply to be successfull. I get...

I think im interperating your question right, do u mean 2 ask, if upgrading does the 200Wcompac grow a faster stronger plant during the veg stage.. If thats what u ask sure does.. I place mine close enough 1 ich from plants and they compeate with my 400MH's.. I use MHs for when I go into 2...

For seedlings yup, See those in my red cups under the 200compac they are seedlings, but I started them underneath 2X34Watt coolwhite T8 flourecents and now they under 200Wcompac, Soon they will hit the 2x400watt then harden off outdoor.. Your going to veg under 4 feet tubes right and if soo 4...

I used a bargin finder and stumbled amoung al our local hydro shops under the hydroponic and garden section.

try to not let the smell leak out.. That can be hard.. The house I have smells, even outside the front door.. Make sure the weather striping is good and that all your bathroom fans are on. Becarfull moving soil in and out well trying not to look like you have a bin full of wet soil just flushed...

Hi, go with the compact fluorescent 200watt full spec.. You will be happy. Yup all under 2 200watts. Notice the 4 plants in the back ground, maybe not able to see all four but the larger plants in the back were grown under those lights in 2 weeks.. There strong health intronode spacing grown at...

Glade 2 hear that! :)

swweet cant wait 2 see what u come up with. I went back and looked thoughout the thread and notice you also transplanted. Great!!!!, Mabye give plants some water for a couple feeds then use nut. I brake the rules generally because I can and it works for me lol. I use hydroponic feed through out...

I dont use mircle grow, but I do know that I have read many peoples plants mess up once transplanted. They transplanted from begining and the nuts are to strong for plants, this is what there conclusion was. I have not heard one good thing from that shit.. But it would be nice to have 1 positive...

lol, I know what u mean.. Tobad u had to get a MH, your hps is ideal, but im not going to tell u that, u already know.. FOr the 2days of darkness, it is what it is!! Your not going to see any differnt resluts just a strong build up FR chemicals. Your plants will like to utalize wwhat they build...

K for one month they look shitty, but not bad under the light you are giving them.. If you can afford upgrade to ateast a 200Watt compac flour, they come wired 15amp 120V so they will work in your normal house hold plug in.. If you want to correct your problem, by some good quality soil, pick...

I run hps for flower, and I have notice when someone gives you recomendation on distance, do what works for your set up.. if someone says 3feet for a 1000Watt buld, they dont know any other details about your system, maybe you can handle running it at 18Inch with out any heat stress. For you...

He is right.. You are running a 50watt, if you decide to replace that with a 400Wconcersion ballast, and if it DOES cost 125 for that set up, thats one hell of a bargen-go for it!!!! There will be no such thing as dissapointment. Use a MH for veg and HPS for flower. Yup best way 2 go, im sureu...

Go with the cool white spec, is great for veg and you cna keep your cfls 1 in from plants. I use 2 200watt and 2 400WattMH for veg and my new 200wcfls grow a much nicer plant and accualy the growth is very close to a MH. your CFLS should have there own ballast, just go get a simple socket/shade...

Nop, I go on government land, and use a GPS to gather my starting position on plant location, then I plant in a non pattern form. Ususally my plants are spaced about 5 feet away from eachother and maybe 2 plants in one location. I use beaver damns and I can move water to certain areas if need...

Yea water change suxxx, try to keep it simple. I use my old saltwater pump with a 5/8 hose attacthed and drain my res in 2 mins lol. I then have the same res size beside it were I pack my 5gallon buckets down to the res tank and pour my 5g buckets into the extra tank. I mix my solution and then...

Yup drop pH to 6.5 VEG and when you switch over to flower drop pH to 6.1 with 12/12 hour light. If this plant is a male, I would germinate 3seed next time and plant them to increase your odds of a female.. Remeber any stress to the see may cause it to become a male. When testing water pH, test...

Sorry, i didn answear question, Switch from 24/0 to 18/6 is just fine when your in veg. Never interupt your plants from there 12/12 when they are in flower.. :)

Hey great Idea to switch from 24/0 to 18/6 :) When you upgrade your planter size go from your cups to 1gallon.. If bigger move to a 3gallon or directly 5gallon :) Remeber About every 7 Days transplant if you move to the 200W Compac flour light, I cannot stress this enoguht, it sure works...
