    does anyone know about ILGM seeds?

    I also bought white widow from ILGM. I haven't started growing them yet but can someone post pics of their WW from ILGM? I'd love to see what I should expect.

    Co2 Lung tent . . . .

    I was going to buy exhale bags too when it came to my first grow. But I've heard those bags don't even work sometimes. Besides on this forum, any informative resource will tell you that getting a CO2 tank is way better and more efficient in the long run. Yea its costly to buy one initially but I...

    Co2 Lung tent . . . .

    For a small tent that you have, get a 5 lb. CO2 tank for $65 at a local gas supply company. A CO2 regulator off of eBay for $30 and a rain system (CO2 laser cut tubing for $12 at the local hydroponics store. That's what I did.. Plus a timer

    Homemade Carbon Filter

    It's not necessary to use both the pellets and the carbon filter but you can. I couldn't find a place that sold the carbon filter, so I just use a regular dust filter with the pellets. I only put the cheese cloth on the inside of my shower drain. The cheese cloth material was thinner than I...

    How many plants can fit in a 11 x 12 flower room

    (2) 1000 watt HID lights is perfect. It covers just enough area for 16 plants with 8 sqft of space for each one. 5-10 gal pots is good. Make sure you get Smart Pots or some type of aerated containers. It helps prevent root rotting and root curling.

    Homemade Carbon Filter

    Yes you have the right idea. The more money in your pocket the better. I made my own carbon filter from material I got from Home Depot, Walmart, and Petco. From Walmart I got a regular replaceable filter for $0.80, duck tape for $3, and a pack of long zip-ties for $5. From Petco I got activated...

    Cfl: Is my choice sufficient?

    A 250 watt HID light is better and more sufficient. You will have a better yield as well.

    Help needed

    You can use (4) 400 watt HID, (3) 600 watt HID, or (2) 1000 watt HID lights. Now based on your square meters (I converted to square footage for ease), you can grow up to 66 plants maximum with 2 sqft. minimum of space for each one. If I was you I would grow 20-22 plants with 6 sqft. of space for...

    What should I do next??

    My advice would be to stick with what u have for now. A 600 watt is perfect for a 4x4. A 600 watt cover a primary growing area of 6x6. Putting in a 1000 watt is not necessary and would cost $20 more towards your utility bill. If anything upgrade to a 6 inch if needed. Besides that your good to...

    2x4 vs 4x4 vs 3x3 tent

    I have a 3x3. Its bigger than I imagined. Awesome size tho. I'm putting 4 to 5 plants maximum in there. The rule of thumb to follow is 1 plant/2 sqft. I'll throw you an example. If you have a 4x4 tent. 4x4=16 sqft. 16/2=8. So you can fit 8 plants comfortably. Good luck growing!

    MY FIRST GROW BOX

    Awesome set up for a low cost. I'm making something similar myself with red Mylar film. Only problem you might have is hot spots with the reflective layer. Try to tighten it and make sure there's no slack between the tarp and reflective layer. I've read that mold could possibly grow there. Other...

    decent dehumidifier?

    I bought a dehumidifier online from Target. It cost $30-$40 with shipping & handling. All you do is hang it up in your tent and plug it in to an outlet to recharge. Its made for a 300 sq. Ft. Area. I noticed towards the end of its cycle, the humidity can drop to 40% max. For a small object, it...

    HID Lighting- 400w or 600w SOG??

    Follow this rule of thumb. 1 plant/ 1 sqft or 1 plants/ 2 sqft. Is most commonly used. So if you have a 3x3=9 sqft. So you can grow between 4-9 plants maximum. A 400 watt HID light covers a primary growing area of 5'x5' & the supplemental growing area of 8'x8'. So a 400 watt is perfect for your...

    I've ordered from them 3x's. The first order came on time. The second one had to be resent after waiting for 30 days. The third one is on its way. Hopefully I don't have any problems with them this time. I got white widow in my first order, purple haze in my second order, and strawberry kush in...

    Couple of Questions about 400w MH/HID

    If dust is a problem, filter your intake. Attach a filter to your intake fan. Then attach ducting to your fan. So Filter > intake fan> ducting> grow tent.
