Envirolites don't seem to be as efficient as the HO T5. T5 HO put out between 82 lumens/watt (2 footers) to 92 lumens per watt (4 footers). High wattage compact flouors such as envirolites put out around 65 to 75 lumens/watt. I did a lot of research on them both before I switched out my MH in...

Victor, Why do you feel the need to jump all over this guy just because he starts a thread that he is clearly excited about. He's not claiming to know more than the seasoned grower. He just states that he is has been reading up on it for a while and is ready to get something in the works and...

just to clarify, I agree that HPS must be used during flowering to attain the best possible results, and I would never use anything but. I'm just saying that during veg cfls or fluoros will give you the same results as an MH. The real magic is done in the flowering room. I've vegged with an MH...

I agree with your statement about the HPS 100%. However, I have to totally disagree with what you said about the MH. I used to veg with an MH but I specifically switched to fluoros and cfls for veg. Based on the amount of light you need per square foot during veg, power usage with cfl's and...

what type of fluoros do you have???? T5 high output fluoros put our more lumens per watt than any, ANY, cfl. However, if you bought your 18 watters at a store like Home Depot or Lowes, chances are they are T8 bulbs, and yes, cfls will be better. If you can use straight 4' fluoros, I suggest...

Yes, I have the proper hoods, but they are not air cooled at the moment. Here is the deal, the way I see it is I have three options. Air cool the hoods, vent the room, or do both. By doing both, I spend more money. So that is not somehting I want to do. Already spent so much. By cooling the...

Would it be reasonable to turn it on for 15 minutes every hour or two for the entire light cycle? would it give off enough CO2? The reason I'm asking is because I am trying to work out my ventilation system and trying to figure out if adding CO2 will work. I would need to turn off the...

Videoman, Is there a timer on that Co2 boost? Does it give bursts at certain time intervals or just constantly? For rooms that are ventilated by duct fans, this would be important. MB

YES... Joey Weed prices are good. But, for instance Mazar is $100 at Hemp Depot, but $48 at planetskunk.com and a few other places. Also, Belladona from Paridise Seeds is $80 at HD but $40 at planetskunk. I mean that is more than just a mark up. Thats a RIP OFF.

fuckin awesome feedback so far... thanks guys... keep it coming.... Mazar sounds very tempting... Cali-high, are you in the US? Just wondering about the shipping... Ak47 is tempting too... I dunno, Wish I had like $500 to just blow on seeds... lol...

For my next grow I'd like to grow something special that really has the ability to knock even the most seasoned smoking veteran on their ass... Money is not really an option, nor is time or yield... Although shorter flowering periods and high yields are always a major plus. Your opinions will...

I ordered from them last time around. They are very helpful and reliable. I order a joey weed strain as well and got 90% germination. One thing that has been brought to my attention lately is that some of there seeds may be over priced. I was looking at a strain last week that was priced at...

some help.... please... any of those experienced growers out there....

Mogie, Thanks for the response. I think I got all that. Just a few things... I shoulda mentioned, the intake for the hood exhaust will be coming from a tube that pulls air in from outside of the room. So basically the hood exhaust system is completely isolated from the flower room itself...

The room size is 3'x5'x9' with HID lighting. The doors to the room are by no means air tight when closed fully. Would it be sufficient to cool the HID hood using a duct fan and keep the doors closed all day? The doors would be opened at least twice a day for a period of about a minute or so...

yeah I'm ordering two more 1000 watters today....

Okay, I've neglected to update this thread because I had some issues to sort out with the cloner. I had to figure out a way to keep the water temp at around 70 F or lower, to prevent all that shit from growing on the plant stems and in the resevoir. I was able to salvage and plant 5 of the...

cool thanks for the input guys....

cool... I have a 3x5 area. I will try the same method... Looks like a nice bud factory you got going on there...

first off, veg at 18/6. 24 hours of light is overkill and a few hours of dark is good for root growth. 20/4 is fine too. How many watts of fluorescents do you have? after about two weeks your fluoros may not be enough anymore. I agree that even one 1000 w HPS is overkill for even 12 plants...
