    Design is everything.. lighting needed?

    Actually bulb burns hotter because of the combustion of gases inside... but doesn't actually put off more heat... it puts of less ambient heat to ur grow room.. probably be well suited for your operation.. hearing and reading very good things about cmh.

    Design is everything.. lighting needed?

    To my understanding the ceramic metal halide is different bulb.. it lights differently burning hotter and putting off a better spectrum.. the 630 watt fixtures are around 700$ but have been getting very good reviews... leds are very very hit or miss.. and require a little different growing...

    been looking at adding a 1000 wt de hps light to my grow room for added yield hopefully... any thoughts on the brand to go with? I was under the impression gavita was the trade standard.. but just watched a video by Growace that kinda made it seem as if yield lab was a much better choice...

    fox farms nute problem? or tapwater?

    As far as variables... I was referring to thw fact that the manufacturer of the soil can't guarantee every bag is the same and even spots within the bag may be hotter than others.. plus when u water the "ph of the soil/runoff"( which still hasn't been made clear whether that makes a flying fuxk...
