C2M, If you want anyone to take you seriously, can you please post some reasoning for all this, apart from just your 'personal experience'? I am not an experienced grower by any means, but i would like to know what is the best lighting and most efficient lighting for me. So since you seem to...

I think babygro puts forth some good evidence on CFL's efficiency and benefits, and why they might be very useful, if for nothing else, for vegging. It has caused me to look into the matter in more detail and do my own research. I find that talk is cheap, especially on this site. And all info...

Hey videoman, don't mean to jack this guy's post, but I had a quick question for you on the topic. I noticed you had the supernova reflector from HTG. I have the easy cool 6 inch that is also glass covered. I was wondering why you chose the supernova? As far as I can tell there is no real...

Whenever people ask for recomendations on where to get lights, I tell them HTG. you won't find a light that is new of the same quality for that amount of money, anywhere! Trust me, I've looked for a long time. You won't be disapointed with your purchase. I would also pay the extra $20 or $30 to...

ohh yeah, and I'll have to buy a water thermometer, but what's the ideal water temp for water in a aero set up like this? And the pH?

The roots are still white. However, on one of them the roots were completly covered by this goo that is actually black in some places. I gently scraped the goo off and the roots looked fine. Will the hydrogen peroxide fix this problem? Is it something that could be a problem?

so are you saying that those two that I described are most likely rotting? There is no slime or anything on the bottom of the res though. Should I cut that portion off and try to root again? The others did just fine, so I don't know why these too went loco on me.

This is a post that addressed thes same issue, if anyone is interested: https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/4943-24hr-18-6-16-8-a.html

Glad to hear it. I will go for the same one except due to my setup I must go with the 2' 8 bulb fixture instead. The 4' tubes actually output 92 lumens per watt where as the 2' ones put out 82 lumens per watt, which is still very good. Wish I could go with the four footers, but ohh well. BTW...

Al, can you describe what root or stem rot looks like? Two of my twelve look like the roots are growing really weird. The roots look like they grew all bunched up in a white ball that has a layer of slime or goo over it... lol. sounds nasty don't it?...

If you're talking about guides that you have found on the internet, then the answer is yes. I'd take scientific fact over some stoner's grow guide. I read many of these guides, which is why I started a 24 hour cycle on my first grow. If you are talking about actual published grow guides that you...

how far away is your light from those plants? Maybe the pics are misleading, but it seems as though you might be able to put them a little closer.

Thanks Babygro. I appreciate the knowledgable input; that pretty much seals the deal for me. :joint: :joint: :joint:

did you read Seedlessone's post on page two? That is scientific fact. Would you rather have two weeks less in veg, or higher yield? Also, something to consider is the relationship between the extra time with lights on and extra growth, might not be linear. Meaning the extra 1/3 of light probably...

Yes, I understand that bro (not that extreme of a newbie anymore :)). I was asking filthyfetch, why he switches from 24 hours to 18/6 for like a week and then to 12/12. I heard people say they do this to kinda gradually make the transition to 12/12. But I hear its absolutely pointless. I was...

Just wanted to update. Today I noticed white little nubs on the bottoms of most of the stems. Their growth will hopefully take off in the next few days. Thats a new record for me. Its been about 4.5 days. I'll post pics sometime today or tomorrow.

Why would you change to 18/6 before 12/12?

Thank you... some facts:joint:

Where did you get all this interesting info from?

I can tell you now that it will be successful, there is no doubt about that. But until you compare the two cycles you won't know for sure if one is faster than the other. I have also heard that plants experience the most growth during the dark period. but that might be during flowering :)
