    Light Ballast Fried. New light. switch to LED or stay HPS?

    Nah, it was a brand called "Minger". It's $85 on Amazon but I got it for free for leaving a good review. I used to work with companies that would give me free products as long as I wrote a good detailed review with 5 stars. Eventually I got Review-Banned by Amazon. So I can't leave any reviews...

    Light Ballast Fried. New light. switch to LED or stay HPS?

    I ended up getting this light. It should be quality and enough for 4-6 plants? I'm thinking about cutting down to 4 once they really take off. The only reason I started with 6 was in case some didn't too tool well. Light Link...

    Light Ballast Fried. New light. switch to LED or stay HPS?

    yeah per gallon. I figured t hat if I put 3 Tsp for the "aggressive grow" the label said that I would get some big big growth. But OldMed explained about how that process works in order for me to take advantage of it. I pretty much had nowhere near optimal conditions in order for my plants to...

    Light Ballast Fried. New light. switch to LED or stay HPS?

    makes sense. My last grow took over 6 months and still only got around 1/2 pound dry from 4 plants. I do open the door a lot for an hour or so. dunno if that helps with Co2 though. I mainly did it to lower the temperature inside. I've had a big problem with getting humidity. I know in the...

    so that means, that every time I water/feed I'm giving the plants pretty much acidic water?

    Light Ballast Fried. New light. switch to LED or stay HPS?

    I don't know why I didn't even think about that before (getting the soggy bottoms on a rack) that definitely makes a lot of sense that that could happen. As far as Nute schedule, I normally feed them twice a week. 3 Tsp Flora Micro and 3 Tsp Flora Grow. on the label it says 3 Tsp for...

    That's exactly what it is. (General Hydroponics CocoTek) Nutes: General Hydroponics Flora Grow, Flora Bloom, and Flora Micro and CALiMAGic (since I'm using Coco Coir) PPM/EC honestly, I don't even measure it. I have a cheap meter that came with a water purifier container thing. (you put water...

    ok, so from what I gather, I need a CMH and a Cool tube reflector and around 600 watts for my space. So would this fit all of that? https://www.amazon.com/Replace-4X300W-2X600W-1-2X1000W-Enclosed/dp/B06XTCGZ6P/ if so, which would be the better option? Enclosed or wide?

    Light Ballast Fried. New light. switch to LED or stay HPS?

    I've tried to do my own research for the past year that I've grown but i'm finally swallowing my pride and asking for help. I've had a few problems but I've successfully grown 4 plants from seed with around 2 ounces (dry) from each plant. (2 Liberty Haze, 1 Peyote Critical, 1 blueberry) My...

    Perpetual Led Grow

    @OP what did those LED strips cost you? I'm thinking about switching to LED after only using HPS/MH on my grows. I just don't want the crappy Chinese stuff all over Amazon and Ebay, but I also don't want to spend many hundreds or thousands either. Because I grow for personal use, so I won't get...

    Solo Cup Grow - CFL question

    I've heard you need to have around 1 gallon container per 1 foot of plant so figure about a 5 gallon container in the end for each plant.

    How Am I doing?

    First off, I've never grown anything in the past so bare with me lol. I started off with around 30 seeds from previous bags of weed. I used one of those jiffy pod things to put the germinated seeds in till they reached a couple of inches then I transferred the whole pods into a few...
