    HPS and Heat question.

    I've been putting though into making one myself. You can buy one for like $100 and it has the proper reflection surface on the top of the tube. But making one seems a lot cheaper and not to tough. Do you have any links for the DIY tubes???

    how long for clones to root?

    Lookin good. Yes I did take my clones from their monthers while they were still in veg. I am using super plugs as the medium and they are placed in a propogation dome. Super plugs are made from tree bark and some other crap. All I know is they have plenty of moisture in them and I got 90%...

    how long for clones to root?

    Thanks for the words of encouragement. I'll let them do there thing until they either root or die. If even half of them root, I'll have my hands full :) ! I can taste the bud already!

    how long for clones to root?

    I'm on my sixth day since cloning and there are still no signs of roots on my 12 cuttings. Most of the cuttings aren't that droopy any more and seemed to have perked up a little, but still no roots! How long can it take? is there still hope for them?

    Check this out. Its only a 2 two foot fixture, but each bulb is a double bulb. Even if you bought two of them you would still be way below $245 High Tech Garden Supply

    HPS and Heat question.

    120 CFM or above would be better. I remember reading something about how you wanna clear all the air in the room at least three times a minute.

    Flood Cycle During Flowering

    Currently I am flooding my tray in my ebb and flow system 3 times a day (every 8 hours). THe plants are still in vegging. I am going to start flowering this weekend and was wondering if I need to change my flood schedule so that the tray does not get flooded during the dark period. Is it okay...

    co2 from beer

    lol, no biggie... I was stoned when reading and my head started to spin! lol I've brewed my own beer as well, fun stuff... Don't know the answer to that question though. I know there is a link on this site that tells you cheap easy ways to produce CO2 in your grow room though...

    the two big plants on the right in the round green pots are about 13 - 14 inches. They are 1 month 5 days old. the green pots are 1.5 gallons, and I can't even see any roots coming out of the holes yet. The seedlings are in 3/4 gallon pots. I will be using that size from now on. Based on what...

    'Hydroponics allows you to use smaller containers for the same given size plant, when compared to growing in soil. A 3/4 gallon pot can easily take a small hydroponically grown plant to maturity. This would be difficult to do in soil, since nutrients are soon used up and roots become cut-off...

    I was told that the roots don't need to search for food like they do in soil, so they don't grow out as far. Also, at my local hydro shopt they got pepper plants, among other plants, growing in pots that are not more than 2 cups (1 pint) in size and they are about 2.5 feet tall and have produced...

    anyone have this?

    400 W HPS/MH. You can get a 400 W HPS system for $120, brand new at High Tech Garden Supply I can't even find anything this price that is used... lol.. If your grow area is enclosed and heat might be an issue, than you might have to try fluoros or cfls.

    NGT didn't mention any air stones. You probably want some air stones to put as much oxygen in the water as possible. You'll need an air pump as well. You can get them for about 15 bucks. You want your tray to be about the same size as what your light will cover. For a 400 W light you could use...

    DIY Systems

    yo yo yo a few questions: how much are you looking to spend? I agree, the prices they charge for these ready made ebb and flow and drip systems is rediculous!! I'm on my first grow and I built an ebb and flow system with a 2' x 4' tray and a 15 gallon resevoir. With water pump, air pump, air...

    Light upgrade

    Depending on the amount of time since you ordered it, they will change it for you. Same thing happened to me (only after two weeks though) and I called and they sent me a new one...

    Light upgrade

    I got the same one dude. Kinda wish I got the air coolable reflector though. a little bit more money but definitely the best deal out there for an air coolable. You can keep the light so much closer with the coolable. I'll know for next time.
