Never heard of that seaweed shit, but Foxfarm Big Bloom and Grow Big are very good. Tiger Bloom should be used as well. Follow the feeding schedule on the Foxfarm site: http://www.foxfarmfertilizer.com/hydrofeed.pdf

Do you have a thermometer? Put the 150w in there with the CFL's and check the temp. If it's not much over 80, you don't need to vent.

Adding more light never hurts. How many CFL watts you have now? Just make sure your temps don't get out of control. Ideal is about 80.

Tighter node spacing means more bud sites per foot. Stretching can suggest that your plant isn't getting enough light.

Looks a bit stretched, but hopefully those spaces will fill out with buds. I'd say you have at least a good 4 weeks left. Read up on trichomes and get yourself 30-100x pocket microscope. The trichomes will tell you when to harvest based on the kind of stone you want(heady or couchlock).

Google "attitude seeds."

You should have thought of this shit before you planted them. Get your ass to Walmart or something and get some supplies. Read up in the GrowFAQ.

I tend to use the items I purchase in the manner recommended by the manufacturer. Guess I'm just weird like that. :leaf:

Nobody said it couldn't be done, just that it shouldn't. *

It's all relative, my friend. Lots of people will tell you different things. For new growers, I recommend going organic. Much less room for error that way.

Then why do conversion bulbs exist? *

No reason why you can't do both. Good way to hone your skills. Keep up with the research. There's so much great info out there and some fine books as well. I have the SeeMoreBuds book, Jorge Cervantes' bible and Soma's book on growing organic. All were great investments. People talk shit about...

Maybe with your ballast, but I don't think you can say that it will work with 100% of HPS ballasts out there.

I tend to pick indicas that flower in 8 weeks. I veg from seed for a month, maybe a week or so longer. I have some seedlings going right now and I expect to harvest by October, just to give you an idea. Clones sometimes take 1-3 weeks before they start growing after transplant so you might have...

1. - You have some kind of passive room exhaust, right? I have a window fan going most of the time and if I don't crack my door, I'm not getting much airflow despite how much air the fan is capable of blowing. 2. - You could build an enclosure for the fan with some plywood and some kind of...

Tell me you're kidding. A MH conversion bulb is needed for a HPS ballast(assuming you want to use MH). Only a switchable ballast can do what you suggest. *

Very cool. I may be doing some of that myself when my current seedlings are mature.

I like 18/6. I haven't noticed much of a difference in growth to justify using 24, except for cloning. To answer your second question, stick to potting soil, yeah. Miracle Grow Moisture Control isn't bad shit, despite the many MG haters out there. You won't need to use any nutrients for a good...

Due to my hydro system, I'm limited to about 8 plants. I get about 1.5-2 ounces per plant. I only grew 5 plants last grow and I ended up with about 10 ounces. I have some seedlings going right now and I may end up growing 6 this time. Squeezing 8 plants in there is too much work, as space is too...

Growing under CFL's is fine. You need approx 50W per square foot of grow space and pay attention to actual wattage, not equivalent. Grow them out to about 12" tall and then put them outside, but introduce them slowly before throwing them to the wolves(or deer in your case), about a few hours...
