Here is a copy of a post, by Uncle Ben, on the results F.C. at different light heights. Hope it helps. DISTANCE FROM LIGHT............F.C. READING .......................250W HPS.............600W HPS Within 6" (Way off 10K f.c. scale, for both lamps)...

I know UB strongly recommends the "Marijuana Growers Guide" by Mel Franks. I am 3/4 through it and am dam impressed! I don't think Mel could've made growing any easier! Oh, and I WAS an AN user with nothing but problems (AN 3 part micro, grow, bloom). But things should start looking up now :-P

Thanks Kat, they look good to me. You grow from clones or seeds?

Nice Kat, I like that idea. How tall are they when you start to flower? What size pots you finishing in and what kind of space if you don't mind? Food for thought lol. MHG

I do the same too. Then add same jacks to the shorter ones if needed. Pots are nice for that. This site has some good prices if your looking. Not sure what they carry for 430s. I was looking at 600s: http://www.cheapgrowlights.com/ Yeah, I seen that too. In a cabinet/ closet type setting if...

I just don't use it. Wasn't trying to knock it. Same here...hate the ex's!! :cuss:LOL Here is an interesting little read I came across this evening researching some stuff. Thought you guys might like it after reading Vidiot's post above. Efficiencies of Light and Space Outdoors plants...

Great to hear the reinforcement! Yeap, that was me. Started out with the understanding it was a weed and ended up thinking it was a scientific experiment. Nope, no need to explain. Probably one of the only formulas I haven't used.

LMAO. Ha, I'm worse than you. If I can't smoke it I don't grow it. lol Yes to both, but I like to learn. One cabinet for both. Small op for personal only. No never more than 10 to start. Only moved to this setup for the last 4 grows, including this one. 64...hmmm...now ya got me thinking. What...

So would it benefit the other two rose buds?? Is MJ more like roses than fruit or vegetables? Will or does this work for roses? I really don't know! Bob, I have been following this thread since the beginning. Not because you have another bush grower looking to put in their 2 cents and flame on...

Now I am no botanist, just your average joe (no pun intended). I do believe in the KISS theory and also believe a little commonsense goes a long way. So your saying if I was to pluck off 75% of the blossoms on an apple tree I would get apples the size of pumpkins off the remaining 25%? Now I...

Yes, one gauge tells how much is in the tank and on mine the other is a flow meter. Mine is for small areas and only goes from 0-.5 cfm (0, .1, .2, .3, .4, .5 with half marks in between). A flow meter has the little ball in the gauge that rises to the desired level when adjusting the screw/nob...

I used one of those cheap co2 syringe testers, with the glass tubes, to find out what ppms I was at with what settings on my regulator. This gives me an idea of an adequate range. Yes, I want to add a controller/monitor but like you said it's costly. I am hoping to add it to the new setup within...

For right now I am just using an environmental controller (basically a timer). Someday I'd like to invest in controller/monitor. Yes, it runs full time while the lights are on except it shuts down when the exhaust fans run. My box/cabinet is about 4'x4'x6' so it takes such a small amount I don't...

I run 20# cyclinders in about 96 cu ft. I go thru about 1 and a half per grow. I use a regulator that goes from 0-.5 CFM and never have to go above .18 CFM to reach 1000-1500 ppm.

Great read UB thanks!! Just out of curiosity what would you consider the optimum ratio for MJ in veg.? They talk of the 1-3-2 as optimum for flowering to finish, but no talk of veg. Hope this isn't to far off topic.

Great thanks. So do you have to treat the pots every grow? Buying in bulk would make sense then. So how do you think air pruning would compare?

They look the same. A hermie (hermaphrodite) is just a plant that produces both sex of flowers (male/female).

Hi UB, I'm no horticulturalist but I can see the point of using the spray. If the roots are burned off before they hit the spray, as your pics have indicated, they couldn't possibly absorb any. My question is how do we get? Where from? And if the average consumer can't get it what would be your...

Thanks, yes I'll just let them flower a little longer. Always got to stay positive! I use a 400w Sunsystem MH/HPS ballast and reflector. Yes, I started them right under the 400w from when the sprouts popped above ground. That has been the point of this grow. I wanted to make a soil that I could...

Flip back a page or two, UB just covered it.
