What you've missed: Made a 4'L x 2'W x 4'H box out of wood in the garage. Put fans in it to improve ventilation. Put a fluorescent light above 3 rooted clones. Turned it on and put it on a timer. Let's fast forward through veg. Here they are after 14 days. After 21 days. Any...

It's okay, thanks for the advice. I learned alot. I'm glad people are willing to help others around here! RIU

"Make sure it's not male"

Hi, like the setup! I only have a few questions: 1) What temp.(k) are the (3) 2ft fluorescent lights? The color looks odd. (could be the camera) 2) Do you have a 600w MH bulb, AND a 600w HPS bulb? 3) Are you starting your seeds in 5 Gal Pots? I would recommend 1 Gal Pots, then transplant to 5...

Must be five words or less! (I have ADD)

I got this far and I was expecting it to be dead. Amazing how much stress they can take. That plant needs an extreme makeover. I would recommend ordering a brand name line of nutrients with a feeding schedule to make it easier while you learn. Regular foliar treatments with a fungicide...

I prefer using T5HO fluorescents for the early growth stage, then MH later. If you have to use CFLs, I would recommend 23w 6500k daylight spectrum bulbs. Cheap, and available. 2700k spectrum w/o enough 6500k spectrum will lead to very stretchy plants with long spacing between nodes (lower...

Accurite makes decent therms for the price. They are slower, but accurate. Sunleaves makes a nice large display therm and you can probe things with it. :)

I also use Azamax as a preventative. Expensive, but it works. Pay attention to the scary warnings on the bottle... and have Poison Control on speed dial. :)

1000w HPS seems excessive for starting 6 clones. I've never used HPS in the vegetative growth stage, only for flowering. Instead, I use T5 HO fluorescents for clones and small veg plants, and MH bulbs for larger veg plants. HPS for flowering. Also, more cost effective. My 2 cents aside from the...

Try an emergency blanket.. Wal-mart.. 3 bucks. :)

IMO... 8 plants in a 4x8 w (2) 600w lamps would be perfect. Allows enough space for them to stretch out and bush. Keep tying them into desired shape. I drill holes into the pots before planting or transplanting to make tying easier. Veg long and finish strong in 7 gal pots for high yield.. OR...

Don't forget saucers for your pots. I would spend a little more for a good pH tester. Some perlite to mix with the FFOF. A 7" dome and propagation tray to start your seeds.. maybe a seedling heat mat. Maybe not. A good power strip. A hand sprayer. Some aphid traps are nice to have around. Plant...

Sunleaves makes a TDS meter that is cheap ($25).. Hanna has a few cheaper pH testers. Checker 1 ($37) or the Champ ($48.).. If you want one that does it all (EC, temp. as well) it will cost about $150-$200. Hope this helps!

Yes, that is what I would do. Should be enough lumens for one plant. Veg and flowering stages. Post some pics when you get her rollin'!

Always wanted to use doors instead of tarp zippers. Nice. Keep it up. Plenty of people around willing to help out, just ask. Or search threads, because someone has already asked the same question :)

Definately a mother/veg/clone area.. with T5s or MH.. or both. It is recommended that you use 50w of light/sq ft.. for a 12x12 that would be 7200w of lighting. I assume you want to be able to move around inside, so half of the room (6x12) would need 3600w of lighting to be sufficient. (IMO...

I would only use the 6500k bulbs right now. Those are actually 14w daylight cfls (60w incandescent equivalent). You could also supplement with 5000k cfls (full spectrum/craft bulbs) as it grows, since it will need more light in the 5000k-6500k spectrum. 23w daylight cfls work great and produce...
