How long did you veg. and what Kind of light are you useing?

Well I just bought 40 bucks in ventilation supplies and wire to get the ballast in a different room. I am sad to say that plant #1 has past away and plant #2 will remain #2 in respect for plant #1. Plant #2 has boomed!! It is triving and seems to almost like the higher end temps. Ive cought the...

Ok so alot of ppl have said that I need to come up with a better ventilation system and I agree. It isnt even hot weather yet and im haveing heat problems so I would like to solve that now and not later. So im working on that. I have a better (not great by any means) reflector that I have made...

medium: soil miri gro light: 250w hps plants: 2 space: 3x4x8 temp: 75-85 F ventilation: two fans This is my first grow and so far I have two plants that are growing. The first plant looks as if it is on day 8ish and is starting to yellow and all the leaves are curling under alot. My second...

I have pictures set up at https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/56978-growing-4-plants-first-grow.html a journel I have going. thanks

Ya Ive taken down the crapy makeshift reflector box. lol Im not sure If i want to fork out the doe for a nice one at least until I get some of my profit back from this grow. I have set up the Hps 250 watt bulb and the plants loooove that. I havent set up the 100 watt one yet because I want the...

I just recent set up a 250 watt hps system for a 3x4x8 space and it seemed to be doing great. I left my house and when I came back the temp was around 95 F and the bulb and ballast were VERY hot. Im afriad that what ever the ballast is touching will catch fire. How can I low the temp????? I have...

Well this is day 12 and I have received my hps ballasts in the mail yesterday. I am going to set them up today, But was going to buy the bulbs online (longer wait) because they are a fraction of the cause. I am also buying a better air purifier because I have a feeling that in the next couple of...

I just got my hps system today so I should be seting that up tomorrow! So far plant #2 is doing the best. I am thinking that plant #1 will perk up once I get that new lighting system up. Cant wait. I also Beefed up the security and Im going to add a ventilation system. I am also Looking into a...

This is day 8 and temps are perfect. Had a cool day and left the window cracked temps around 78 F and hit around 75 F last night; humity in high 30s. Plant two is looking great.. Im trying my best to not over water, But its two major leaves have faned out and I can see the start of the third...

Hey really nice set up. Might have to use your cool tube set up idea. seems to be doing great for you. peace.

Wow I really like your setup buster7476 I think I might have to use some of you ideas when I get my hps system set up. They should arrive in the next week. The only thing now is to figure out where to expel the heat. Im trying to keep everything in the closet to avoid odor. Im thinking im going...

hmm Well last time I looked the cooltube systems were over a hundred bucks. So far my total start up cost has been just under a hundred and I really want to keep it as low as possible because this is just a personal garden. But I understand your reasoning for saying to get a cooltube system. I...

Thanks again. I looked into an exhaust system setup but didnt know if i wanted to fork out the doe for a cooltube system. they are kinda pricey. But I have a journal now so yall can check it out and give tips. again thanks.

well I really like my new grow space.. anyone that is working in a tight place I suggest moving to a larger space, it makes things alot more enjoyable, plus your plants will be happier. so far plant #2 is doing the best and plant #1 is kinda growing a little weird but Im sure it will perk up...

You need about 3000 lumens per sq. feet of your grow space. but Im afraid to say that the 2x2x2 space isnt going to be big enough. I just recently had a 2x2x4 space for four plants with only 4 42 watt cfls (rated at 150 watt eq and 2600 lumens each) and it was way too hot so I moved to a 4x4x10...

I decided that I would start a grow log mainly to get help from yall. I am currently on day 7 of veg. I am useing 4-6 42 watt cfls (rated at 150 watt eq., 2600 lumens each) I just moved my grow space from a 1.5x2x4 cabinet to a 3x4x10 closet (rough estimate on closet) because I had a heat...

Thanks alot. Ya ive found out that im going to have to move my grow space. I now have moved it to my closet which is around 3x4x10 alot bigger and heat has dropped alot. And ive found that I can control the heat alot better with more height because if i have to up the security and close the door...

Pretty good grow. Im using a simular set up. but ya my day 6 is like your day 4 so good work. but im about to upgrade to HID light. Ill tell you if I see an improvement. vs. the cfls. (I only have 4 42 watt cfls so thats probabley why) ntways good luck

I am fairly new to growing and had a few questions for the experts out there about my set up. Right now I am using a 1.5 x 2 x 4 grow space in a cabinet with 2 plants in veg, day 6, and two more on the way under 4 42 watt cfls (rated at 2600 lumens each) I just bought a 100watt and 250watt hps...
