those look kinda like pl-l bulbs, aka 2g11 sockets, aka L-type flouros. 10k by itself is no good, you'll end up with too bushy of plants..which can be a bad thing. you should mix some lower K in there around 3000k to balance it out... those type of bulbs are very efficient...much more so then...

looks nice, real clean...do you have reflective stuff above the bulbs as well?

usually they grow out of it after a few nodes....if it stays polypoidic once it's mature (alternating fan leaves) then it's worth trying to save the trait through breeding, I've seen plants grow in and out of it, so it must be a trait that can be influenced by the environment as well.

yes you can.

How soon you should add nutes depends on how much is mixed into your soil and how much your particular strain needs, I'd guess just regular old soil should be good for at least a month of growth before you'll start seeing deficencies such as lower leaves turning yellow ( N ). You kind have to...

i dunno what to tell you about yield or plant numbers...but if you go with that light kit...if it has a magnetic ballast...get a phillips ceramic metal halide..they run off 400w magnetic ballasts, have a much better spectrum then hps, lose less lumens over time, and are cheaper then hps bulbs...

basically in a hydro system you are feeding the plants directly when they are watered rather then in soil where the plant absorbs food out of the soil. Hydro can be very complicated and I recommend researching alot and buying the proper equipment before you start..ie ph/ppm meters, ph up and...

ah, well soil would be quite different depending on the soil you are using, and how long it will last before you have to add nutes. You said you plan on vegging in your cloner for 2 weeks...what kind of cloner(aero/soil)? as soon as clones in hydro produce roots and start new growth they need...

sorry no offense..but why are you here in the cfl forum then? To spread the good word of our lord and savior HIDs? try looking for a model number on the base of the bulb somewhere and try to google it..or look up the company that makes them and see what K rating their 3way bulbs have..I would...

I'm assuming you're using aero or hydro of some sort, the amounts or schedule of nutes is really strain/system dependant. I would start at 1/4 str nutes after they come out of the cloner and start showing growth again, then up the amount of nutes by small increaments every few day till you see...

bag seed is more likely to be hermie, logically. but there are some real gems to be found in bag seed, even schwag. The majority of the time schwag is schwag because it hasen't been cured/dried properly. I think feminized seeds are crap btw, it's more of a scam that anything, kinda like colored...

how do you neg rep ppl on this site?

For veg I would recommend around 5000 lumens of cfl per sq foot, or about 60-70 watts. Air exchange should be even higher imo. Personally I would double up on the 100cfm fans, put them side by side, or on opposite ends of your box for exhaust...and run passive intakes. Make sure your passive...

I think maybe I saw the same design you're referring to, if so that guy had a terrible design..was he a cocky electrician? The hood that he made looked really pretty, but it was basically pointless because of the huge gap between the bulbs and the surface of the hood, as well as the angle the...

Hi I have a friend that recently became a caregiver in MT and plans to grow at her friend's house who also is a caregiver. Is this legal? I recommended that she at least get a utility bill there in her name or something...would the law have something to say about her growing somewhere that she...

I love the nice simple design. one thing about those filters though, be careful not to bend them or the carbon stuff spills out a lil bit and can make a mess.

personally I'd shoot for 7000+ lumens per sq foot, or 100w per sq foot. anything less then that and you will just end up adding more lights.

google modular scrog in buckets... I think that's similar to what you're thinking. you'll find a few grows using that sort of technique.

The best cfls currently on the market are 2g11 socket or pl-l bulbs. If you're going to order flouros you'd be wasting your time with anything but these. To clarify I didn't mean you would be wasting your time growing with other types of flouros, but if you're gonna order some "fancy" bulbs off...

for the 12v adapters just go to a thrift store, there should be boxes of them to look through...just find a 12v one with high ma (milliamps) ..like maybe 800+ma...that's the cheapest route..or you can get one of those 12v adapters from walmart, radioshack or whatever..I think they're called...
