So, I'll be using the SoG method that Al-B-Fuct outlines in his "harvest every two weeks thread' Will two 150w HPS lights be enough for the budding plants? I plan to use two cool flourescents of about 100W on both the Mother and the clones section.

Thanks a ton. I'll be buying my HPS' next week. =D Then the rest will fall in order shortly.

Yeah, I just want to be able to produce a pound every month or so, or have a pound for every month spend cultivating. Hydro looks like the best way to achieve that with my limited space. I'm ok with paying a little more in the long run for more bud =D

I'm working soil right now, the only problem being that I have 75w output (17 actual watt) lights. They're cheap and shitty and I didn't know better and they're in miracle grow. First grow is gonna fail hard. I want to go hydro though for effective use of my limited space. So I will definitely...

Thanks for all your help man. Much obliged

I didn't understand most of that. I don't even know the difference between hydro systems, I have an elementary grasp of how they even work, to be honest. I'm learning as much as I can right now.

Coolio. Will do. What if I were to do an SoG system in a single room? I'd need the mother in constant veg, right. So a fluorescent on her, I'd put a blanket dividing her little corner up so she doesn't get her light on anyone vegging. Maybe black lawn and leaf bags. Then I'd need a light for...

Well, by my calculations, 2 400W HPS lights will make my bill jump by about 150 bucks a month =S

Ok, so my electric bill is about to jump a hundred and fifty bucks a month, isn't that like a huge red flag to the energy company?

I think I'll work on my soil, but with my spare cash start working up a hydro setup. Is there a thread about detailing the different types of hydro systems and how to assemble them? Thanks. I'll see what ebay has to say on the matter.

Thanks. I have no idea how to even begin with hydro, tbh. It seems a bit more..efficient, though for the amount of money invested.

It should be noted, I can't afford HID or HPS lights for a long time, maybe in the future if things come together, but for now, not so much. I'm on my first grow and it's miracle grow with terrible lighting, so I might not even get anything. Lesson learned. I can't afford another 150 bucks on...

Should I go hydro instead? It looks like it has better potential. I'd still need HID and HPS lights, sure but wouldn't that make a better flow for myself? With the SoG system, can't I just keep them all in one room or what? I made a thread in the hydro forum about it, heavily considering it

Hi guys, very new. In fact this is the first time I've ventured outside of the newbie corner. Ok, so basically I have a really frackin tiny closet (Got some vent going on) and I made a mistake buying shitty lights and soil. I smoke like an ounce every week or so, so I need a higher yield...

FUUUU- I wish I'd known more before I started. How much would a hydro/DWC setup cost me, if I were going cheap then expanding?

So, If I'm using CFLs does that shorten my time from seedling to harvest?

The sad thing is, I'll smoke an ounce in like a week or two. This is starting to look less and less viable in this space/my budget. It'd almost be cheaper to just buy it. I was wanting to grow to have my own supply and save money =S

Well, until I get a bigger place to grow, I want to remain low scale. If someone could tell me how much I can expect to yield per plant (Average maybe) I can make a better assumption as to how many. I just want enough to last me, ya know? Since I only have the one room, enough to last me about...

The second option is most likely. I'll try and do what I can with what I got til I can get the MH and HPS, will these shitty growlights hold me over til then? I really don't want to pay 200 bucks a month on the light bill for a few plants, ya know?

For now is until I can scrape together enough to get some CFLs, seeing as it's gonna cost around 60 bucks for me to get enough light in that room with CFLs. I'm broke at the moment, so until at least next tuesday.
