I would do a mother plant. Unless you buy fem seeds. No need to waste space with possible males IMO. If you had more room it might be different. The little fridge would be great for seedlings and clones with a couple CFL's. Why switch to HPS so soon?

When I put the MH bulb in until I saw the first real flowers they didn't have the stretch they had with the HPS. The nodes on the upper branches stayed much closer together. But this is the first time I've tried it. I'll see in the end if it seems to help with the harvest. That is the most important thing of course. I've been thinking of trying a different method but still in soil. I don't want to do anything that causes a lot more work though. I'll decide I guess when I chop these and see what I get per plant and how many grams per watt. I was your avy with the chick pic. Probably some girl/woman that complained.

Always glad to help man. I benefit from not having a washer or dryer in the house. The wife complains a little since I can put one in. And I have a washer sitting here. But she's the one that goes to the laundry mat not me. Maybe that's why it doesn't bother me huh? There are no hookups but I can do it myself.

Well if they happen to go full term this time for most strains you should be able to get an ounce per plant at least. Lots of factors in there though that can change that. But should be no problem with 400w. My first 2 had over 2 ounces each. And they started to flower when I still had them under CFL's. If you can get something reflective (preferable mylar) on the sides that would help. It could get the lower branches more light and do better.

If things have gone well you should be able to reuse it. They say not to so you make sure that you don't transfer any bad stuff to the new plants. But IMO if you had no problems with them and money is tight I think it would be your best option. Your not going to get anything better for free or even if you bought some cheap stuff, that could actually be worse. Just remember to adjust your nutes accordingly. You'll have used up stuff that was in there at first and what might be left over from what you put in. But if you have flushed in flower it shouldn't be too much I think.

I don't think that would be that good by itself. It would not reflect back to the sides like you would want. like the light itself you want to keep the reflected light as close as possible. Put them right up next to the plant's. Just get some cardboard and make some panels with it on it. And do something to make them stand up. If you leave space at the corners it would with heat and ventilation around them.

I got my latest addition to the grow today, a high temp shutoff. That way if something happens to the fan I won't fry the plants. I need better climate control. Any suggestions??

If you have the weather that I have then just open the windows to cool the place off... you could run some dryer vent from under your house to draw in cool air when the place gets hot... what type of climate control are you looking for.. something to cool the place off?

I can point you in the direction of a 10,000 watt grow and they might be able to hook you up with pointers.. its totally professional and in the process of gettin setup

EDIT: hows that light rail working for you

The foxfarm program starts with just the Big Bloom, the only organic one. Take a look at the program. How big are they now? How old? Pics would be nice of course. I would start slow with the Grow Big and tiger bloom. 1/4 to 1/2 of what they say. And check your ppm for future reference.

its felt good not to water or add nutes much but im thinking that ive under nuted and under watered them... they seemed to grow 2x over night during the last water and then slowed up on there growth ever since



they are between 3-5 inches tall ... deff short as hell

EDIT: im goin to go mix up some light 1000ppm nute water and add it to them... before i do, do i need to add the reg strength of nutes to the water or should i take into considering whats in the soil

EDIT: they are 3 weeks old ruffly

The problem with my weather here is it is so up and down. Could be 30 at night and 70 during the day. Fall and spring in the north east. It stays cool enough now during the day and I run my big lights from 3:30pm until 3:30 am. I still have the AC in the window but it doesn't come om much now. And I have the window opened up some. I can't go through the floor, it's wood flooring and would be to hard to patch possibly to hide it. The walls and ceiling are easy to patch and just paint. If it was carpet and plywood I'd already have a hole in it. That was a good idea though. I'm not really sure what I need, but maybe just another fan on a thermostat. I'd like to see that grow, post me a link for sure.
