I just ordered a 250 watt hps kit.
I got a 2x3x5 tent to put it in. I got a bunch of cfl's in there now.

Thats exactly the change up from CFL's I did (well 2x2x5, and wish I had gone slightly bigger) and you'll be very happy, I had 250w CFL in there easy before, and it whooped there ass, and really doesn't get that hot at all as I had worried. I did find I had to re-adjust my feeding/watering schedule, and they stretch differently to under CFL's so keep an eye on your first HPS grow :)

I'm using 265 watts in cfl's right now for one plant, and a couple seedlings. With the 250 watt hps it will be much easier to grow more than one plant.
It will be nice to watch the difference between the CFL's and HID.

Bag seed right now, and all 12/12 from seed.
I got one with about 3 weeks left, and one that is 3 weeks old that I was just looking at with the loupe, and I can see a very tiny calyx with two pistils. I can't see them without the loupe.
I got a couple more seeds in paper towel that cracked open.
I was going to order seeds this week , but got the light instead. I'm still trying to decide what to get, but C99 is on top of my list.
I will veg my feminized seeds.

I don't like Barney's farm, they don't have very stable genetics, you should give white label a look. very solid genetics. Also reserva privada,ch9,hso,female seeds,and dinafem just to name a few. They all are very good breeders.

Just opened my LAST jar of "Grape Stomper OG"... been curing it for almost 3 months. Longest cure I was ever able to wait for, and it was well worth it. The difference between my usual 2-3 week cure and 3 months is amazing!!! The hardest part was the waiting.
After this, I swear to Jah, I am only messing with top shelf breeders... TGA, Gage Green, DNA... Forget this Barneys Farm shit I got going now.

These posts are a real eye opener. Most of my seeds have come from Nirvana, and always been happy with what I got...but maybe next time i'll try one of these breeders. I already have two seeds from an independent breeder, but am gonna wait to pop them untill I move. Also the strawberry cough that I am growing, for the second time, is an horrendously low yielder, despite being the healthiest looking plant. That said, at the end of week 5, it is super frosty and about 80% clear, 15% cloudy, and 5% amber, so only another couple of weeks. Oh and it is beautiful tasting, and the only budd that has given me the real giggles in years :)

Hetty... You gotta try Gage Green! straight up FIRE... The beans are really hard to get, especially those with the desired "Grape Stomper" lineage... It took me over a year, countless e-mails and phone calls, and I finally found a pack of Grape Stomper OG's about a year ago.Then when I heard Gage Green was gonna drop a Grape Stomper Bx2... I waited up all night on release day just to personally call Attitude at 4am and order... But Damn, it was worth it. I haven't heard one bad thing about Gage Green and from my one run with the Stomper OG's, I'm a fan for life. The resin went all the way to the tips of the upper fan leaves and the "sugar" leaves were so covered in resin, they started to roll in on themselves, like a taco.
And as far as it goes for TGA... Subcool is one of the best breeders IMO, and there is no other breeder who puts up a weekly YouTube show and donates so much to Autism causes... plus his strains are straight FIRE as well. Just go to Attitude or TGAGenetics dot com and check out some of his pics.
My only problem is deciding whether to pop TGA's Space Queen or some Gage Green Grape Stomper Bx2's next... not a bad problem to have!
