CFLs are marginally cheaper but you'll thank yourself for going with a 250w HPS, HID or MH. Get something you can swap the lights out between MH and HPS, because they like one for vegging and the other for flowering. That way you can use the same ballast and shit, just replace the bulb and you...

Yeah, no offense bro. I made a similar mistake and bought shitty walmart 'growlights' Now I'm struggling through this grow until I can afford a HPS light. It's the most effective. You can use CFLs or Regular Floros but they're not as effective by a long shot. Some swear by CFLs but for the price...

It's generally assumed you should use really light neuts until it's time to veg. Frmboi is right, use something like that at a 1/4 strength. As to lights, do it now. They love that shit. It wont hurt em a bit, if it's a floro, keep it damn near touching the leaves.

From what I understand most people saying. LEDs are a waste of time and money. Use CFLs or actual floros before you bother with LEDs.

I wouldn't move em to bigger pots until I had a few sets of leaves, like this That's just my thought on the matter though, some might tell you wait longer. Whenever your roots are strong, go for it. I'm new too, so if anyone contradicts this, go with what they say.

Fallin' that looks a bit more fiscally efficient. Can I operate something like with the SoG method? I want the SoG method because I want the constant supply of grass with my limited space.

Thanks, King. Will definitely do just that.

Good shit. I think I'm all set for a while. Thank you very much for all of your help. =D

So veg and flower with the same lamps? As for my eventual mother, do I just leave her with two 100w florescent to keep her from budding?

Cool beans. Well, next check's leftover cash will go to the first 400w HPS light. Just for clarification, I can veg with florescent and move to HPS for flowering right? After I get both of my HPS lights and I have my vegging lights, I'll be happy to start the bucket, once I get it down pat I'll...

Thanks. What's the startup cost looking like for such a venture? Thanks for all of your help, you've been remarkably patient and very thorough. I want you to know it's much appreciated. I'll give it a shot when I have the money and let you know when I need help again. Thanks.

There are no hydro shops near. I live in a smallish town. Only about 70k people.

Ok. As impatient as I am, I'll take your words to heart. I'm on a really tight budget so I didn't really want to get involved with a system I wouldn't be using for a while. But I'm on with doing this. Do you have a list of items for me and where I can find them?

That was amazingly informative. So, they sell those little baskets that the grow medium (And plant) sit down in. I could find the air pump and airstone at a pet food store? I don't quite get how to do the recirculating part. I don't know how to find a lot of these pieces then I'd need to know...

Can you explain how I set up and operate a DWC setup? I don't understand all that I need for any sort of hydro. I keep hearing stuff about netting and mediums and I'm really at a loss. I really am a total noob at this. That was absolutely amazing advice though. I'm gonna take that to heart. I...

It's 4X4X8, Mikey.

Well, I can't really say as I don't have any means of measurement but if I had to say it'd be 4x4X8, In case I flubbed, four feet across, four feet deep and 8 feet tall. My bill doesn't say the KWH charge but the national average is .1099 Got a bill that says usage as 400(No indicator of what)...

I need some help actually putting together the system, as in detailed diagrams and the like, can you direct me to some sort of resource on the matter?

I was actually looking at different sizes. A lot of people seem to be recommending 600watt. If I do go with 400w and the SoG method, how many 400w HPS lights would I need over my budding babies? That being said, how much can I expect my utilities to go up?

Can anyone running 2 1000W HPS lamps tell me around how much more their electric bill is?
