Thanks for the reply again GG! :bigjoint: I know that the T5HO's put out more lumens. But the lumen:watt ratio is nearly identical. So i figured i'd just get T8's and make up for the less lumens with more bulbs, the fixtures are cheaper and the power consumption is nearly identical. I went to...

Thanks for the replies! :bigjoint: Where do you go about buying these things? I called the local elec supply place and the 2 bulb 4' fixtures they sell go for $110!! then $10 a bulb! You can buy a T8 fixture at walmart for $15! The T8 output is 92.19 lumens per watt The T5HO is 92.59 lumens...

I found a lumen chart. Do you use T5 HO's? T5: 2900 lumens, 28W T5HO: 5,000 lumens, 54W T8: 2950 lumens, 32W

That sounds sweet. You must be saving a lot of coin going from 3 600's to fluoro's! Did you need to move them at 2' or could the T5's continue to veg them for another foot or so? Where do you get t5's? Home depot doesn't carry them do they? Thanks!

I have a couple 1ks that i am gonna use for flowering. I was thinking that i'd either get a 600w for veg or use some Fluoro's My question is how big can you grow plants in veg with Fluoro's? I was thinking that i'd get 6 T8 bulbs (3 ballasts,3 reflectors) and run them over a table. How big...

I get a database error every time i try to post a new thread. In fact i'm not sure this is going to work. The section i try to post in is the indoor section, I've tried 2 different computers.

I have an exhaust line that i'm thinkin about putting in a helper fan to help move air. My question is where in the line should i put it? Right now my main fan is about 5 or 6 ft before the exhaust. Is it ok to put the helper fan in between lights? So if i have 2 1k's could i put the helper in...

Well i just recently got some new genetics from BCBudDepot and i planted them in soil straight from the Promix bail with some perlite added in. If these come down with this fungus i'm going to flip out. There's nothing in there but promix and perlite!!!! Does you guys' perlite discolor on...

Yup. I thought i cleaned it well enough last time........ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

I wish i still had the picture of after i cut the top off the plant to try to clone it to save the genetics. The fungus literally grew out the whole in the top of the stem. It was GROSS.

I am sure. It's some form of damping off. Sure sure sure sure sure. The killed the older plants that had it and now my seedlings are dying from damping off. This fungus spreads toooooooo easily. I am pissed.

It's not normal. It's pythium. I guess i just need to throw everything away and steralize the best i can...... AGAIN. ARRRRRGGGGG!!!!(*&$&(*$@&*(

what's a drak unit? I don't have anything in the sun.....

Temp is approx 70. relative humidy is 30%. All the affected plants have aleady been disposed of. But all my new plants are dying and i'm going NUTS.

no pics - it's pythium. 100% sure. I just can't seem to eradicate it! The only thing i kept that the infected dirt touched was the rubber-maid i keep my soil mix in like i said above Now that i've seen the white mold growing in my mix bucket again should i throw away the mix again? I scaped...

I added a ton of michorizhaye. I tossed all the infected dirt, washed the bucket i keep the dirt in with bleach and i threw the affected pots away. I filled up thed bucket with new: promix castings blood meal bone meal lime michorizaye closed it up and when i opened the container a week...

I'm pretty sure it's pythium. Is this stuff a super fungus or what? I have a relative humidity of 30%.

I had used some old earthworm casting in a batch of dirt and the plants i planted in the dirt developed a white mold INSIDE the stem. The bottom of the stems started shiveling and they fell over. Inside the stem was white mold that was growing up throughout the plant!!!!! I trashed those...

Thanks for the reply. It's the bucket that i use to store the dirt mix. I didn't add a single drop of water to the mix. But when i mised that stuff and put the lid on it, a weeklater i took the lid off and water was collected on the lid and mold was growing on the top. I'm just goin nuts. It...

Thanks for the replies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow, first post and last post- all in one.
