    Which is best, 400 hps with extra cfl's or 600 hps alone? less energy used

    Again, I am pretty sure I have stated probably over 5 times that I am no longer using the extra cfl's due to the fact that the 2 400's give me what I need. But had I continued to use only 1 400, I would have, and stand by anyone who decides to add cfls to their grow. Sometimes for people who...

    Which is best, 400 hps with extra cfl's or 600 hps alone? less energy used

    I didnt start this thread to prove anyone right or wrong. I also stated several time I was not worried about cutting costs, but energy usage. Which, again, I cut back on other energy usage to make up for what I have added. I came to the conclusion, for me, not anyone else, that 1 600 would...

    Could be, but I know lots and lots of people who add them and see a difference. When plants get taller and the light can not penetrate as far down as it did when the plants were shorter, the cfls at the bottom give them light, maybe not nearly as much, but it does and it makes a difference.

    Which is best, 400 hps with extra cfl's or 600 hps alone? less energy used

    From the beginning I was never worried about how much anything would cost me, dollar wise. Energy usage was my worry. But no matter what, I needed extra light, so if I went with another 400 or went to 1 600 I would be using more energy. So my plan was to cut back on other things, using the 2...

    how long is neem oil mixture good for after mixing?

    Does anyone know how long a mixture of neem oil with dawn for dishes and water is good for after mixed? I am going to spray again today, but not sure if I should make a new batch or if I could still use the batch I made for my last spraying. Thanks!

    Even "IF" the 600 standard was 95,000 lumens, the 400's that I got are 58,000 each. So if I understand this correctly, the lumens are distributed amongst the plants under the lamp, (1) 600 with 95,000, if that was the case, would give 19,000 lumens apx per plant. (2) 400w with 58,000 lumens...

    Which is best, 400 hps with extra cfl's or 600 hps alone? less energy used

    The heaters that I stopped using are in each of the bedrooms, not in any grow rooms. There would be three on all night for atleast 8 hours. So that was a HUGE problem. My basement is concrete and super cold down there so I normally do not need to use a heater at all down there, because of the...

    Anyone know what's going on here?

    Im glad you got to raise the temps a bit on the floor. During my reading on my issues I did see that cooler medium affects the ph, but I do not recall how. I will see if I can find it again, I have been keeping notes on everything, and I will post it here. Let me know how it goes for you with...

    Which is best, 400 hps with extra cfl's or 600 hps alone? less energy used

    All opinions/preferences are welcome. When I first started this thread I was looking to use both my veg and flowering room, wanted more flowering light, but wanted to do it the best energy efficient way possible, due to using both rooms. After having a conversation with wyteberry, I came to...

    Help!!!! Limp drooping leaves spider mites burn aaaaahhhhhhhh

    I have one of those up also, and between that and the neem oil I am happy with the results. The problem I see with the roller is you can miss so many and cant really roll the soil incase a mite has dropped down there, and also I read that they also have been known to lay their eggs in the soil...

    Help!!!! Limp drooping leaves spider mites burn aaaaahhhhhhhh

    My girls are looking fabulous today! I confirmed, again, last night that when the lights go out and the temps go down these girls fall like limp noodles. I had the heater on for a bit at night, not too long, and in the morning they were nice and perky, like a fresh boob job! No buggy bugs...

    Anyone know what's going on here?

    I am still new to this so my next suggestion might not be very sanitary. But what about putting a blanket under the pots? I thought about doing that, and all I could think of was the charlie brown christmas story and the little tree had a blanket wrapped around it lol. As far as the bulbs and...

    neem oil for mites

    Thanks toquer. The room is in the basement so it is pretty cold down there, actually the past few days it has been too cold! I am 2 weeks into flowering now so I think as far as that goes I should be good? I was down there singing to my girls this morning and they looked really good. I know...

    I beg to differ. There is quite a difference on the side I have the cfl's compared to the side I do not have the side lights. They are making enough visual difference that I am willing to keep them.

    Which is best, 400 hps with extra cfl's or 600 hps alone? less energy used

    I have a seperate setup with enough lights for my veg room. Adding the extra cfl's to the grow will not hurtm, right? So thats that. The products that I searched, 2 400's had more lumens than 1 600, when you take into consideration the bulbs I am getting, 58,000 lumens each. I am not worried...

    Which is best, 400 hps with extra cfl's or 600 hps alone? less energy used

    I dont think 2 400 hps with 3 side cfls is useless jungle of lights. Im actually excited to use the extra 400. I noticed the side where I have the cfls currently are getting better bud sites than the side that does not have the side lights. Even if I had a single 600 id still stick with a few...

    neem oil for mites

    No response yet, but I was thinking some more. If the neem oil dries so fast, and there is no liquid left on the leaves, does the initial spraying get them, and they have the affect of the neem from the spray? Or is it supposed to stay moist? I am super confused, and hope I did this right
