    Silly question

    I know people have gone over this a lot, but what type of soil is best for indoor cultivation? I've seen a lot of "recipies" for good soil, but I don't know where to purchase said items, is there any potting mix that is good for growing straight out of the bag? I bought a big bag of worm...

    Not sure I wired my Ballast right

    Wow I feel dumb haha, but aren't there such things as like shorts and other malfunctions that occur? I heard that if you short the ballast it will only run at 50% power. Well my eye's kinds hurt if I look at the bulb for more than a second, is that an indicator of proper wattage?

    Not sure I wired my Ballast right

    Well I won a 400 watt hps electronic ballast on ebay (brand new). I wired it myself, but I'm not sure if it's cranking at full power though. How can you tell if your ballast is at full power? The reason I'm asking is because people keep telling me I should be having heat issues with my grow box...

    Is this normal?

    Is this normal?

    Well if I had to guess I'd say the temp is fine, if you were to just stick your hand in there you probably wouldn't even know that the hps is even on. I'd say the temp is like 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit. The fan really kicks in. As for soil, do you think the soil is too absorbent? Have you ever...

    Is this normal?

    Ok, well I'm using miracle grow potting mix, and I think I'm in the clear pot size, because I transplanted after like 4 days into a 6" pot. Hmm as for nutes I mixed in a handful of worm castings into the MG potting soil. I'm growing in a box that is 3' wide, 2.5' deep, and 3' high. I have an...

    Is this normal?

    I'm using my 430 hps and two t5's on the sides, and my plant doesn't seem to be getting any bigger. The only thing that's growing on it appears to be the leafs. The leafs have gotten bigger, and there appears to be a new set of leaves about to grow in. Is this normal? It's been under the lights...

    Help with pot size

    Hmm wondering about how big of a plant I can grow in a 6" pot? Also, if you grow a plant to 12" and then being to flower about how much more will it grow, and how much yield do you think a 1 foot plant will produce? Please help me out, I don't want to waste my seeds.

    My grow box is perfect except...

    Oh god, my grow box is starting to look desolate =(. I really thought that I could grow a bunch of 1 foot plants, kinda like a sea of green type of thing. Lame =/ well I could always take the lid off and add like another foot and a half of space, would that be suitable?

    My grow box is perfect except...

    My grow box is a hollowed out display case for like model cars and stuff. It's about 3 feet high, 3 feet wide, and about 2.5 feet deep. the light only takes about 4" inches off the top (430 watt son agro). I have a built in exhaust fan (a really good one. I'm wondering what type of yield I could...

    Wondering if my setup is practical

    k tnx a lot dude. Hmmm wondering if I should take the top of this case and add like another foot or so? But how much is not a lot lol. If I were to grow like 12 1' tall plants and mature em at 1 foot, how much would that yield?

    Well this is my first grow

    Well thanks for the info, however, you answered none of my questions. I understand the complexity of growing marijuana, and you took my statement of it being a weed the wrong way. I obviously understand the value of marijuana, seeing as how I want to grow it, I was just wondering what type of...

    Well this is my first grow

    Ok well my setup is pretty cool, I think? Well anyway, the box is about 3' wide, 2.5' deep, and 3' high. It has a powerful exhaust fan built in for some reason, and I painted the inside white. I was wondering what type of seeds would be good for starting? I'm already growing a few bagseeds for...

    Wondering if my setup is practical

    Well as I've stated my grow space is a hollowed out model car display case. It's dimensions are about 3' wide, 2.5' deep, 3' high. There's room for about 12-15 6" pots in there. So I was wondering how big of a plant could I grow in a 6" pot, and how much yield I'd be getting per plant. My...

    Not sure I have enough space

    Well my grow boxes dimensions are about 3.5' wide, 2.5' deep, and about 3' high. I'm using a 430 watt hps son agro which will generate a lot of heat, but fortunately I's nicely ventilated on the sides and back with long 2" slits (it also has a built in extraction fan, and it really kicks in). I...

    My first post/grow ever =)

    Well I have my heart set on White-Widow =). I know I need a seedbank, but I want a reliable one. Is Nirvana any good? I was thinking Highgrade-seeds though because they have a guarantee. They also have a cool little fun bag with like 5 different strains. Oh and when I start to feed my weed...

    My first post/grow ever =)

    I'll get some pics up as soon as possible. Well On Friday I get my check, I guess I could order a cool tube off ebay or something, I was going to order seeds too. Btw, what site would you recommend for seeds? I know there's like a million threads on that, but I always see a different answer...

    My first post/grow ever =)

    Tnx for the replies. Yeah I knew that 3.5' wasn't very good from the start, but I figured that if I grew like 10-12 small-medium small plants that I'd be ok. As for the Hps right now there's about 3 feet of space, and as the plants grow they'll get more and more used to the light right? Does...
