So I am thinking of going with a DWC system to try and grow a few large plants. It seems there are 2 types of DWC systems out there: The single reservoir (rubbermaid) type with some holes cut in the top, and the multiple 5 gal buckets hooked up with lots of plumbing type. I don't want to have...

Thanks, nice read!

Wow is all i can say. I do have a 2 quick questions, I saw where the post where you transplanted them to the 2 gallon bags, are they still in those or did you transplant again to something larger? If you had it to do over again, would you skip the 1 gal bags and just go straight to the largest...

Hi gang, I am a newb grower, but not a newb at life... When I see ads for seeds that say they get 400g/meter or 650g/meter or 200g/meter yield from a particular strain, what is the BS % I should reduce that by? I would think that the yields advertised are for a 'perfect' grow. Would a...

Hobbits... It was effing Hobbits, you can't trust them little buggers....

Thanks again guys. Yeah for the 2 600's i was thinking of a cool tube like setup hanging right down the middle of the 4x4 room, each plant would be in it's own 2x2 corner of the 4x4 room each in a 5 gallon bubbling deep water bucket. Lots of grow room for the roots, foliage, and buds, lots of...

Thanks lightguy and commie! Commie, why do you think putting the 600's horizontal would be better than hanging them vertically in my small space with my various height plants? Lightguy, how long does it take to get a plant vegged up to 12-18 inches, in general? Thanks fer helping out this...

So I am looking at budding only 4 plants at a time in in a 4.5 x 4.5 x 6.5 ft grow room. The ages of the plants will be 2 - 3 weeks apart, ie: 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, and 8 weeks into budding stage. Would I be better off with 2 x 600 hanging vertically down the center like at the 2.5 and...

Thanks for the quick replies! The room is actually 4'9" x 4'9" x 6'7" according to the ad -> http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/itemdesc.asp?ic=GRGL145&eq=&Tp= The reason I am thinking of 2 vertical lights is that I am a bit concerned that the 'bigger' plants that have been budding for 6-8 weeks...

Hi All, My first crop was in 1978, but it was also my last, getting arrested was no fun... My back is jacked up and a friend has cancer so I now have a card and can grow 6 plants. Of course, I want to maximize the yield, here is my basic setup and operational plan: 4x4 grow room...
