well the once i had spidermites they didnt touch any of my autos, but not too sure bout other bugs...Altho slugs LOVE them if theyre outside.
Theyre quite hardy, they'll still continue to grow at temps around 50-55 but they slow down ALOT which will spoil the grow., any lower and they'll stop...
No a 150hps will not run a 400w.. totally different control gear.
How well do plants grow under a 150W????
why not read the whole thread!! there are LOTS of pics of people 150w grows in here.
You can veg under fluoros fine.
Best place to find a 400w??
:-| Cant help ya bro, This thread is...
Your goin colluseum style BOG again MM..
You're both right with your info on respective grow styles. Any bulb mounted horizontally without a reflector and above the canopy is a waste of light, and inefficient in use, installing a batwing reflector will resolve that issue....
Hanging bulbs...
big bud is a great producer, but its genes do indeed have alot of variation..
It never fails to give heavy production but some of the phenos of this plant absolutely suck..I've done 18 of these, and had 7 that were a less than mediocre smoke, 5 that were a mediocre to decent buzz, and 3 that...
Smokeys already told ya bro..Users CANT SELL or ADVISE ON PURCHASING MJ, its FIRSTLY AND FOREMOSTLY ILLEGAL, AND IS AGAINST SITE RULES = IGNORE THAT AND YOU RISK GETTING BANNED by ADMIN
Wink, Oregonmeds is on the money bro...Def needs to be lay horizontally for efficient growing.. There are styles of growing that use the bulbs vertically(colluseum style grows for example) but those are kinda specialised grows, or people who have a BIG setup that implements several lights.
and...
Works real well , there's a bunch of threads available on RIU and other sites that have used some kind of closet/wardrobe. take a google for 5 and you'll see what i mean.
I'd go for a 'drobe bro...
get yourself a cheap ass double wardrobe(the ones with 2 doors work fine and are quite roomy inside), assemble it, stick the lights in and cut your vent holes in the top and back, so they cant be seen,and install fans..paint it or mylar inside and youre set.
No-one...
Lol yeah that made sense bro..
2 x 150w HPS will not emit as many lumens as say a 400w..
150w = 15-17000 lumens
400w = 50-54000 lumens
So in theory you'd need 3x 150w to get close to 400w output, and as 3x 150 is 450w it makes no sense to just not use the 400w.
And yeah the clubs still cool...
