if i cant use hydro what do i use, as my only option is growing in my room?
and also the 250 watt lighting, is that bad on your electricity ?

my pc power supply is 350w (most are about that) and i leave that on most of the day, get a 250hps and u'll yeald a hell of a lot more than a 250w LED (example) from what i've read on here. good luck with it bro

 

[tip top toker]

Be aware that your computer draws nowhere near the rated output of the PSU 95% of the time. I have a 650w among others and i most likely use about 300w of that, and that's with a high end gaming pc. My other gaming pc draws less than 250w and is capable of running anything there is on the market at max.

Thar she grows!

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

lookin good man! shes a tall girl, i thought you had height restrictions man?

 

[tip top toker]

Nah, my cab is 7 foot high with an aditional foot high shelf on top. She did grow too tall though, just bloody went for it when i turned my back she did. My grow cab is floor to ceiling, my issue comes in that i have a light 7 foot from the floor and yet the cheese that's just gone in is less than a foot tall so i got to raise her up pretty drastically, although i'll be honest not actually sure of what acceptable distances from the bulbs are with 600w's

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

cooltubes about 8 inches without id probably say 15-18 minimum but youd have to be on top of it to make sure it didnt burn. look into some yoyo's for the lights maybe?

 

[tip top toker]

It's the max distance from the light i'm looking for, cheese doesn't seem to do too great when she stretches but i've only so many items i'm happy to balance 30L of water on top of, she's currently about 4-5 foot from the light I use chain and brass hooks cus i'm cheap

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

the max distance form the light!?!? errrr the floor? sorry i might just be caned but im lost off. so youve got chain and hooks but your still raising the res to meet the light, why cant you lower the light?

 

[tip top toker]

The two plants are different heights because of the perpetual. Can only lower it so much before it starts to burn the more mature plant(s) so i have to raise the younguns up so that they get the nost light and minimize stretch. I know that the light intensity ands exponential the further away you get fro the light, but havn't really grown too much with the 600w to see where it's limits are, the 400w was pretty ineffective once you got more than 2 feet away. I just polished off a blunt in the bath so i may not be as clear as maybe i ought to

 

[fudgie44]
