bumpage, someone please help a brotha out

Hi all. I recently purchased a 32-bulb setup (4' 8 bulb fixtures) T5 system from HTGSupply (bought their brand since they use high quality components and the 5 year fixture/ballast warranty is unbeatable...not even by Tek lights) and I also have a 600w lumatek HPS setup as well. I really want...

Hey guys and gals. I have a 600w Lumatek/Hydrofarm setup (cost me $400 for just the ballast and reflector...yikes) and plan on doing a SOG grow with some P.P.P. which is supposedly a good yielding lady. If done correctly about how many ladies could I fit in this spot and about what would I...

Ok, so I plan on setting up a 400 watt HPS to use for flowering on my next grow, seeing as I'm pretty far into flowering now with my CFLs and the results are really nice (yes..I know...I should put up pictures) Anyway, I bought a Radiant AC 8" Hydrofarm reflector, for $169. It's one of their...

Ok, so I have my room seperated into two seperate rooms. My brother is a carptenter and he did the whole tearing up the carpets, installing drywall, a door, etc, to seperate one room, into about (2) 5x5 rooms. I wanted to use one room for a mother plant and cloning, and of coursing vegging, and...

Ok, So I have my poly-mylar, which is a special mylar designed to mask IR signatures ( was in high times and got a stash award) and some panda film. How can I apply this stuff to my walls? Should I put the panda on first and the IR-mylar? Or vice versa? I was hoping there was an easy way to...

Ok, so I've been following Buds 4 Less pretty faithfully, and have been amazed at how miracle grow actually works pretty well for soil growing. However, because miracle grow has the included nutrients for 3 months feeding, what happens after those 3 months? I mean, lets say I wanted to keep a...

Hi, I was planning on getting a 400w HPS to do a personal grow in a room about 6 x 12, however the area used for the actual grow will obviously be smaller. Anyway, seeing as how I'll have a portable AC unit to cool the room/dehumidy, and fans here and there to keep air moving, will I need to get...

Hate to do this...but I was hoping on getting some more feedback, soo...bump. What the hell, its 4/20, I'm feelin' naughty. ...lol

Probably going to be doing no more than 6. Any suggestions people?

Ok, so I'm eventually...at some point...HOPEFULLY going to see what all the fuss is about for HID lighting. Because I'm only growing for myself I will probably only need a 400w HPS. I still plan on using my CFLs for vegging because they are doing a beautiful job as it is (getting 32,400 lumens...

Right now for my cfl grow I'm running (12) 42 watt (150w incandescent equivalent) bulbs..GE brand like what is used in Buds 4 Less book. I have it running on my two ladies for a total of 32,400 lumens. Grow area is 2 x 2. In flowering and they look beautiful. If everything goes good and I get a...

Oh, and another question: Lets say I have a 3' x 3' space in which I use to grow inside of a larger room. At some point this space may be expanded to 5' x 5'....I don't know yet. I can't realistically right now buy a grow tent, and I'd rather not build one. I have been under the impression that...

Hi all, I'm currently working on laying out plans for a grow room. I'll probably end up using either a 400w or 600w HPS so it may get a little hot. The room will be the size of a normal bedroom and have a portable ac (the kind that have the hose that goes into the window, not the ones that the...

Hey guys, I'm currently considering getting either a 400w HPS light, to veg and flower about 12 plants. Problem is I don't know exactly what my options are when it comes to venting because I am not in the house I plan on moving into yet so I haven't been able to actually take into consideration...

Hey everyone, quick question... What are your preferred brands/manufacturers when it comes to HPS/MH lighting. I'm leaning towards getting a 400w HID light and want to know this: 1. Best brand for Light bulbs (MH/HPS) 2. Best brand for reflector 3. Best brand for ballast. Thanks a bunch.

I was planning on using a spare room in the house as a grow room. I don't know the exact dimensions yet because we aren't in the house yet, but it probably won't be more than 10x12, if that. I'm thinking that the room will have carpeting as well, but may be hardwood. It will also have at least...

I know what kind of relectors you're talking about...the cylindrical metal kind. I took one off of one that came with a clamp and was already wired with a switch. However when I tried using the reflector with one light, the light wouldn't screw all the way down to make contact and of course...

Hi all, finished buying the rest of the lights I needed today. Added them onto what I already have going. I've got 32400 lumens running from (12) 42w lights on two plants. Do you think this is enough for 2 plants? And uh...anyone know where I can find a good reflector that will handle multiple...
