Oh yea, my Hindu Kush auto is at week 4 and is 2 ft. tall! That 1000 w hps can't get here quick enough! Still haven't cloned my white widow fem. gotta make a cloning machine or pick one up online, quickly. Had to put my seed order on hold and get the 1000 hps instead. The blue cheese is first on my list,as per your suggestion, update you later my friend. Smoke ya ass off!

Nice man i gotta try some autos one of these days probably when i get my 600 or 1000 hps. Look at dutch passion's automazar or something one guy got 900 grams from ONE of those autos apparently

I found a used 150W hps for 20$ in good condition i figured it would work great in my tent with the 2 leds and cfl but now im reading online that the old magnetic balast are energy eaters this guy said his 150w hps was actually pulling 300-400w from the wall... is that true?? Cause id rather just save for a bigger newer hps if it is. Or might even get a high end led

Hey man, I got a new digital dimmable 1000 w ballast for 78.00, best rated large adjustable wing reflector for 40.00, and hps bulb for 30.00, free shipping on amazon, under 150.00 for the real deal! Come on brother you can pull that off in no time, then we can see who gets the best yield, make a game out of it. Maybe it will make us both better growers, my set up should be here Wed, chat with you later my friend,

I knew that it couldnt be true just making sure cause i dont know much about hps other than you usually get the best yeilds but i always here they use so much power probably just the led companys trying to get sales lol

I am actually already at 1000w with my cfl's or more which will be eliminated, so after doing the math! I'm really thinking that the hps should be more cost effective, by far! after all if you increase your yield, you can off a couple o's to your buddy and cover the electric cost easy enough, win win for all. Go for it man, you can't lose. 150.00 that's only half an o! Come on man let's get this show on the road, let's see how much we can grow!

Man, so far this supersoil is looking like the ticket, my girls are so healthy! Organic has to produce the highest potency and best taste, I mean that makes good sense, right? And they sure love the rain water. I use primarily for medical reasons. I need appetite stimulation and pain relief so if you hear of some super munchie weed also need a good day time energizer, a good sativa. Let me know.

What do you guys think of this DR EARTH stuff read some people stand by it and wont use anything else i bought it by accident when getting soil for the first time but i was reading that you can make a tea with it? Do you water your plants normally with tea? Also does this bag have a good npk for flower
? I have calmag if needed but im thinkin about making this tea and comparing it to ffof and there nute line, what are your thoughts?

To keep from over watering, use an amount that is 25% of the size of your pot, lift your plant when it feels light, then you water. This will usually about every 2 , 3 days, you can even wait till the leaves get a little druppy and then water, this works great my friend, will keep you from over watering. Make sure to have good run off too!
