    New Cab! 150W hps, dwc and scrog

    250w is easy to control :) Check out my stealth cab I did my last grow in (link in sig) for the smallest space you could fit a 250w into XD it's all about planning and getting the correct equipment and ventilation. @baskarz - How long did you end up vegging for? I think i said you should be...

    Do you think this topping will hurt my yield?

    Bang on lol, either way it's an outdoor plant and looking bloody huge so either way it's going to be a big yield so :/ it's not much of a loss!

    Lets get dirty ;)

    Some people just like the convenience for the 1st month or so :) What Fresno says, Dolomite for soil, look up a good mix, Jorge Cervantes has a good section on stuff like that in one of his grow DVD's... Once you get the soils PH correct, you shouldn't ever have problems with...

    Other than

    Vinegar effects the ppm of your water too much because you need a lot of it to make the correct ph drop, I've seen it happen before, it really does eff your plants up. Get yourself some PH down, 81-85% Phosphoric Acid all you need is something like 3ml to drop tap water of 7.4 down to 5.8 (is...

    Do you think this topping will hurt my yield?

    If it's still the veg season with more than a few weeks to recover, it may even increase your yield and give you a few extra dominant growth tips. If she's near the flowering season or just started flowering, chances are it will hurt your yield quite a lot. But from that picture, you can't see...

    Multi Strain 250w HPS Parabolic mini ScrOG

    Latest Update so far: Couldn't afford the LED... next grow! providing I don't have any stupid expensive bills in the meantime . In the stead of the LED I went and got me a cool tube and some acoustic ducting, retrofitted my new cab with the 250w HPS might try a 400w at some point in the...

    250w cab, 36" tall stealth grow.

    I meant Edmonton XD I've just re-done my finances :/ can't afford an LED this grow, as much as I want one! Just booked a long bank holiday weekend in 'Dam and my LED money is now spending money lol, haven't been before and I want to go just in case they pass all those dodgy laws :) Got me a...

    250w cab, 36" tall stealth grow.

    Yeah I know the feeling, was made redundant last year, had a decent sized 400w closet grow before that, now I'm stuck in a lil 1 bed flat :/ but life is chilled now lol (gets boring though) Work to live don't live to work... At least I brought the expensive shit when I had the money, especially...

    best type of light to use with 3' height in cab?

    yeah, I've done it before, had a mini veg room in my flower cab, I don't have room enough to veg for my big scrog's though seeing as this is now my preferred method, Tried SOG, had too much trouble keeping all the plants happy at the same time (managed 8 or 10 in my old, smaller flower cab).

    250w cab, 36" tall stealth grow.

    Awesome solution, smoke the shit out of it lol :) Money is always tight so I just bodge stuff out of any crap I can find, usually works, made a nice NFT system out of a 1m x 40cm drip tray, an old dirty washing basket and a fish tank filter, using loft insulation as rockwool... worked very well...

    250w cab, 36" tall stealth grow.

    you'd have to do passive hydro, I run a few hempy's with vermiculite and perlite and whatever plants I feel like putting in... unless your looking to run cables and the like for timers, pumps etc... I'm in the process of investing in a decent pump for my pond, which will then go to a drip...

    best type of light to use with 3' height in cab?

    If I didn't live with the missus then I would dedicate the storage/ventilation room entirely to a grow with 400w hps's veg areas the whole shebang lol but nah she would hit the roof if she saw lil weed plants on the windowsill, my stealth grow is like a compromise on either growing or not at...

    best type of light to use with 3' height in cab?

    I was just generalizing for a single grow, I don't have space for cloning so all my grows are from seed, from scratch XD

    If you do end up getting a 4-6" fan just use the PC fans in the cab as circulation, more airflow never hurts :)

    Still pays for itself, that's your nightly smoke that you didn't have to buy from some shady dealer XD I have some Serano Chilies in 1l airpots in my garden, and always have a basil but I never eat it, the bloody snails get to it 1st :)

    250w cab, 36" tall stealth grow.

    never seen PH do that... my tap water is well out of wack, about 7.6 with nites added and they seem fine so far (still seedlings so)... Just get a new reflector when you come to doing your next big grow, chances are no matter what you do it'll end up paying for itself in the end, that's my...

    yeah screws and silicone :) that'll keep it tight... I wouldn't worry about the lack of cool tube, but without one I reckon you'll need more than the PC fans but hey you'll see if you do when you get that far! Try to use OSB or plywood if you can, MDF has a nasty habit of warping like a bitch...
