First Grow/cant find soil i want

Bootheel Grower · Feb 10, 2015

lf you go to the fox farm website they have a link that will tell you the closest fox farm dealer to your house. I live in a small town closest home depot was 60 miles away. But I found a fox farm dealer about 30 miles away

so what does it mean when they say its = to a 400w hps? and what supplemental lights would you suggest to get the room full? my goal is to yield at least 224 - 250g

M&M420 · Feb 12, 2015

btw im here to learn! my friend who ran the 220 and got 487g was only running the 220 in veg. and used the 440 for bloom which i did not know until after my post on his yield. but im still confused as to why this 220watt led is rated to replace a 400watt hps if final yield would be significantly lower than a 400w hps??

M&M420 · Feb 12, 2015

i really dont think i will have a problem hitting my goal with the one light (solarfalre 220)

Go look over at the LED section... There is no way a noob is hitting a gram a watt and your buddy is FULL OF SHIT if he said he was getting over a pound my friend, especially with this lamp.. Not sayin it didn't happen, but PICS OR IT DIDN'T lol

edit: i can show you where companies say an LED is equivalent to a 1000w.. That doesn't mean its true does it?

i grow in fox farm happy frog from veg to flower, no problem... before that i was using Miracle Grow Organic ( must be organic, no time release or anything of that bullshit that comes with nutes) and it worked wonderfully. its about 9 bucks for a huge bag, lasted me 2 grows, small grows but still two grows. hope this helps

ibsippin · Feb 13, 2015

as far as lights go, i take the word "equivalent" as another way of saying " bullshit". i dont fuck with LED so i dont know much about them but when i see the word equivalent i immediately toss it aside. i take it its the same as CFLs. you can get 150w CFLs at any walmart but theyre "equivalent" which means youre not getting 150 youre probably getting like 80 or 90w.... i could be wrong on the watts there but i know for a fact youre not getting the full 150. as far as LEDs go, i dont know if they run the same but i know HPS is REAL DEAL. im running a 400w HPS, i used to use T5 32w(x2) fixture with 4 bulbs and it was nothing compared to the HPS. HPS over anything... thats what i say but everyone is different. ive seen good work with LEDs, theres a section made just for them on here, check it out.

i set my goals high! i know i wont get what i want ..im forced to put them into flower early cuz im moving but i think i will still get a good yield maybe not my goal but circumstances have changed and i have to flower early so ill be happy with anything at this point. you should still watch my grow n let me know what u think since you have grown with pretty much the same light

Sounds like someone knows at this stage the 1 gm per watt is most likely unattainable, so why so combative?
If you'd listen and take the advice given to heart you just might get closer to your goal.

Meh, it's your electric bill.
