    First grow newbie

    i might think about the cooling tube, my growing room (soon to be flowering room) temp is fine (78-82 degrees) but my mother room might need it depending on if i get a metal halide or a bunch of high watt cfls. I also regret not getting the 400 watt hps from htg that was only a couple bucks...

    First grow newbie

    since the mother room is 2x2 i will not be able to fit my 4ft fluoro tubes (sorry i referenced these as cfls a couple times by accident) in there and will end up leaving it in the flower room with my hps. For my mother room i was thinking lots of cfls but now im hearing that i should just get...

    First grow newbie

    Well it is hard to say my abnormally tall one (and do mean he was tall) seemed like he was going to grow so tall till he fell over and died. When it got to the point where he started tipping too far the stems got thick enough to support it and it looks beautiful now. To give you a comparison of...

    Killer deal! 400 watt hps

    wait doesnt htgsupply.com sell a 250 and 400 watt system (MH or HPS) with ballast that looks much better than that for 115-119 bucks. The only downside was 27 bucks of shipping but with the 27 pound package you'll pay that anywhere and I got no taxes (even tho 400 Watt was only 2 bucks more it...

    another update The seeds of the fem Pure Power Plant strain will be arriving very soon and I will germinate hopefully 3 of them and add them to the grow room with an extra 75w blue flood light and begin the 12/12 cycle in the grow room for 12/12 from seed to finish of the ppp seeds and the...

    First grow need opinions [Pics included]

    I wouldnt be too worried about that, I think that is just how the leaves are during the young stage. you are better off than I was when I started with bagseed and my plants look healthyish now. You can look at my grow in the same section and I am a couple weeks in front of ya (not too far since...

    First grow newbie

    Okay guys this is their first week growing in the grow room with the HPS and cfls (5th since germination). Since I feel the grow room meets adequate standards I thought I would focus the pics on the plants. I have 7 plants currently with temps at 78-85 degrees on 24/7 light with roughly 45-55%...

    carbonated water

    sorry i didnt make it clearer, it is miracle gro garden soil, it is bagged soil that is meant for the ground. Basically meaning the soil didnt have very good draining properties. I solved this problem by adding 20% perlite and 10% builders sand. Unless someone sees that it is wrong. Organic MG...

    safe place to order seed? i am in usa

    Nirvana would be the only place I trust out of most seed sellers, its more than quality, its how well they keep the information private and the package shipment discrete. Nirvana goes all the way in those categories.

    Hey Chaotic, I have a question based off what you said. For my system I have 2 t12 40 watt cfls and a 250W HPS for 4 plants and seems to be sufficient. Are you saying that I should turn off my cfls during the flower cycle and just run my HPS? Since the cfl emits the same spectrum of MH for veg...

    First grow newbie

    another question i have is humidity levels. i hear different levels all the time and the confusion comes from no one clearly stating the levels for a given state. I am currently at 35% humidity and thought it was low (planning on buying a humidifier). What i think the levels should be is 40-70%...

    carbonated water

    hrmm, soil maybe? i used garden soil at first and was very compact. my theory is the roots were having trouble expanding. i added perlite and sand to make it breathable. That sound like the problem maybe? I am curious about this. the only other difference i can think of is air flow, i had none...

    carbonated water

    lol, you can see my post somewhere in this same newbie forum, the reason is i used a 75 watt plant flood light during the 4 week period, its bagseed and was experimental now that they are growing in the grow room (and having better seeds on the way) with 2, 40 watt cfls and a 250 watt hps they...

    carbonated water

    i am curious about this as well and noone has directly answered this. blowing would be better theoretically. but since i also want to keep moisture on the plant and provide co2 over a length of time, spraying with carbonated water seems to make sense for me. My plants are 4 weeks old and roughly...

    First grow newbie

    as you can see one of the plants is freakishly large and doesnt look healthy, my thoughts was that it was male or crappy genes like what the person in the second post said. I still decided to keep it, as I wanna see the results of all my plants in my first grow (also I am expecting mostly...
