you need a very active exhaust .. the amount of moisture that your plants put off during late flower will cause the rot.. do you have a humidity gauge.. you can get them for a couple bucks up to about 20 bucks if you want a digital one. Besides light and water.. the most important things in...

Well in my opinion the whole purpose of running them vertical is to increase your yield from the base of the plant to the top.. you no longer get just get fat colas .. all the side branching becomes pretty large as well because it receives the same amount of light as the top of the plant. I...

From the calculator I found that fan is somewhere in the 200 cfm range.. which is in my opinion not enough if your running through a carbon scrubber and a hood with a long run out the window.. First remove any bends that you can in the ducting but I believe the scrubber and hood are too...

can you find a link to the fans you own.. Im not familiar .. my guess is that your fans are much less powerful then you think.. Lots of the silent/booster fans have 2 ratings.. they will normally post flow numbers for a boosted situation.. such as supplementing a existing exhaust or intake...

might be budrot.. dig into the cola and see if there is any brown stinky dead matter.. bud rot can ruin colas without any visual evidence till you break it up and its rotted between the stem and bud. Try to keep lots of air movement around the plants.. keep humidity around 35-45% during...

If you have the room to set it all up .. its realllllly good.. nothing like having huge cola's on the whole plant instead of the top.. but it does take up alot of room and takes alot of planning ...

like my big olllll run on sentence.. lol hard to sit and collect your thoughts when a damn 3 year old wont leave ya alone.. keeps saying .. let me type.. let me let me let me .. AHHHHH

In a nut shell.. the vert gave me tons of yeild but was a pain in the ass to keep the plants from growing into the bulbs.. not including that the vert bulb took up some of my floor space.. Wouldnt work for my size room.. I would of had to make a cage or something to keep the plants from growing...

If they are indoor you need to have a small fan moving the air around them so they " flutter " .. this strengthens the stems and builds them up similiar to the muscles in your body.. Also if if your lighting isnt strong enough it will cause the plants to "stretch" and become flimsy/weak. If...

only worked a hour.. then they asked if I wanted to go home.. I said surrreeeee lol. Nothing better to do :). I was thinking about starting a debate on the socal thread.. about vertical vs non air cooled vs air cooled hoods.... but I dont know if I wanna type all damn day .. i have...

Hello everybodyyyyyyy .. im bored lol

That 400 watt HPS will be good for a 2x2 or 3x3 ft area in flower.

the amount of plants doesnt really matter.. what matters is the amount of area .. what you want is about 50watts per a sq ft.. so lets say you have a 2ftx2ft area .. thats 4 sq ft .. you want atleast 200 watts for that .. these are really estimated numbers... but will get you close.... you can...

just run the 2 t'5s untill they are about 6 inches or so .. then you can start adding more lights.. .. or even the 3 cfls at first.. but your gonna need all those lights once they get bigger

as seedlings their need for light wont be much .. the t5s will work .. then as you go to more of a teen stage you can use the bigger MH.. can you check the wattage of your t5 bulbs.. then I can tell ya more accurately how long you can use them by themselves..

Also about taking them indoors and out.. it can be risky .. just another way for the plant to get stressed/broken and also you can get pest such as spider mites

how big are the t5's.. 2 ft? 4ft? are they HO.. should say on the bulb the watts and spectrum.. If it were me I would veg under the t5's and then add the HPS with the t'5s for flower.. they will enjoy the dual spectrum and the t5's can help the smaller sized hps .. Just ask some specific...

you have to make sure your ph is in range.. nutrients can only be absorbed within a certain ph range.... if the ph goes above or below that .. they will be locked out ..

This is not needed.. the plants should have the sudden change from 18 hrs to 12 hours.. this triggers them into flowering .. The vast change is what causes them to flower so quickly .. alll your doing is adding more time to your grow.. which waste more electricity .. Get em to the size you need...

Well it seems you already know the answers to all of your questions.. I will say one thing .. take it or leave it. If you go into flower with problems.. its just gonna get 100 times worse.. the plants intake of nutes and amount of growing nearly doubles once the 12 hour switch comes.. You...
