I already got all my stuff from HTG. I won their auction for a 95 dollar 250w off ebay and they sent me a 190 dollar one so I'm happy with that. I got a 4in inline fan and carbon filter, fox farms ocean and the fox farms nute package. Today I'm just gonna go out and get some pots, chains, fan...

Thanks for the advice.. I'm gonna try it. My concern wasnt really sidelighting as much as it is penetration. I was under the impression that a 250w light will have trouble penetrating the top of the plant. I suppose if that is the case then I can work around it, top my plants or LST or...

If you mean from the front edge of the shelf down... its 5x4x2

Maybe this picture will help.. I hope this thread is okay for these questions, if not I will kindly go elsewhere. This is my grow space. I am planning on hanging the light from the shelf, which limits height to about 5 feet. the area above the shelf is going to be used for my ventilation, carbon...

So you're tellin me I just put the germinated seeds into the soil and I dont have to put them under any kinda light ?? they will grow on their own?? :confused: i was under the impression that I had to place them under a light after putting the seeds in the soil in order for them to begin growing...

Ok, I may as well join the club since I'm workin with a 250w. I'm a total noob and I was wondering... is it neccessary to utilize some type of enclosure when using a low wattage light like a 250? My grow closet is pretty damn big, and I am now having doubts about a 250w being enough for me to...

I questioned your knowledge because of your inane answer to my "common sense" question. I'm looking for some actual help here, not arrogance, attitude or ambiguity. If anyone else wants to help answer my "common sense" question please feel free... and to the dudes who provided me with legitimate...

I've got a thermometer... maybe someone with a little more knowledge can chime in on this one???

Question... I am germinating my seeds now. I have a 250w MH lamp. I am planning on putting the planted seeds under the 250w MH. I cannot go out and purchase any new lights, I am broke. How can I go about growing the seedlings with a 250w MH??? How far should I keep the light from the pots...

Ok, so thats what I will probably do (unless I just decide to buy a 400w a few weeks down the road).. I'm gonna veg under the 250 MH and then introduce another 250 (HPS) for flowering. If I notice a lack of growth using the 1 250 MH for veg then I may upgrade during veg, but I am hoping it will...

Ok everyone, please understand i already have one 250w fixture. I am flat broke, I cant even afford to get the other 250w fixture yet. I have a MH conversion bulb for veg, and obviously the HPS for flowering. I suppose if I'm gonna buy another fixture I ought to just buy a 400w.... so having 2...

bumping... I value this guy's opinion but I would like to hear a few others. Anyone else wanna chime in on this one? I am only planning on getting the 2nd 250 for the flowering stage, I figure they will veg just fine under one 250 MH... any opinions?

awesome, thanks for the tip... will the 250s get hotter than one 600? (not that it matters, cuz Im not going out and buying a 600)

So by using two 250w lights, I can get better results than if I purchased a 600w? Do you know why exactly that is? :peace:

I got a 250w HPS lamp, now I realize its not gonna be enough and I shoulda bought a 400. If I just purchase another 250w lamp and run them next to eachother, will I be at a disadvantage? :confused:

Thats a great idea, and I'd love to pursue it bu this grow has me pretty much broke for the time being. I cannot afford to even invest in a small veg box. Would it be possible for me to raise seedlings right off the bat with a MH bulb? How high should I keep the light above the seedlings?

thanks dude :peace:

bump, can anyone help me?

So, this is my first grow. I have invested a lot of my time into researching, reading all the FAQs I can, browsing the boards, watching the videos and doing just about anything I can to gain knowledge on this subject. Despite my efforts I am still unconfident and or unclear on a few things. All...

Oh I have that covered, I can do some basic carpentry. Thanks for all the helpful info everyone! :peace: Thank you, but all the other kind individuals already answered my question
