I'm sure it'll work fine. I'm probably going to use the same 4" fan for ventilation/odor control.

MG contains too many chemical fertilisers and tends to retain water.
Many inexperienced growers use MG and find that they have nutrient burn and watering issues.

Hello fellow RIUers- I have been off the web for my last few harvests, for that I apologize. For as many dank buds I've been smoking from my 400 watt HPS (the conversion HTG brand one) I owe to the community and especially this Thread a report of successus and failures with the 400. So I first put in my time and read every single page of this thread- from rocky start to a plethera of bud porn unlike any thread. I did it in two midnight shifts 
thanks again guys
Starting off:
I originally started with the intentions of going cheap, window sill lighting? Well nearly 2000 dollars and multiple upgrades, breakthroughs, and advancements later I think its fair to review the 400watt.
First grow:
A basement with styrofoam made walls. Two rooms, veg and flower 4x5x8 (and a small emergency mother room elsewhere). I had no real ventilation- just the 400 hanging, ballast seperatly. I had rotating fans but no inline. Passive exhaust- just cracks in the room. To this point the experienced folks are starting to prepare themselves for the numerous horror scenarios from these conditions- but to my suprise my hygrometer measured no heat or humidity issues. And despite having to grow with my cab, and learn when to be in my basement and when not to- I never let light leak through my "passive exhaust" and I had almost no problems. These 6 ladies were bagseed, one hermed (to be expected of bagseed). I yielded between 26 and 50 grams off the lot. Tons of high quality nikon photos of these girls in the journal.
However despite the cheap sucess I've had the 400 watt and other things left me with some complaints:
My only real complaint concerned with light is fluffyness; this is something I have seen in not only my buds but also those among this thread. Am I wrong to associate light and density so closely. It could be pH, nutes, heat, etc. But again I see it among the 400watters and I've seen higher wattage less knowledgable grows with much denser buds.
Weight is weight fluffy or dense its getting me high, but I desire those rock hard nuggets. Since my first grow I have grown GHS Trainwreck and it was much more dense but also my lowest yielder ever! Both of em- 23 and 26 gm. 2nd best smoke ever though.
My other complaints are unrelated to light. Soil and nutrients are the targets. I've most recently switched everything to DWC hydro. Four 12 gallons (actual nutrient rez size- not the tub) 3 plants each. 2 in veg- 2 in flower perpetual harvest. Soil just didn't give me enough control, and I am gone for periods of time so the grace period of a rez is comforting. I now also have a hanna pH, eC, TDS meter.
As for nutes- I used to go all foxfarm products to a T on the schedule. Without a ph meter or ec meter I have no clue if I ever got locked out- but they didn't work amazingly. Originally I was wooed by the all organic hooplah, but foxfarm is only organic based- which is like saying rubber is organic because it comes from a tree orginally... And its too chuncky to run in a hydro rez- even though others due- I want max air and no clog on my stones.
I switched to all advanced nutes.
Sesi grow and bloom a and b
Bud blood and big bud
Trantula and pirhana
Overdrive and bud candy
I will also use hygrozyme, liquid karma, and dutch master/superthrive foliar spray.
I also booted the four t8 bulbs out of the veg room and added a 6 bulb t5 high output growbright fixture from HTG. 30,000 lumens! As close as I can hang that its damn near a MH for veg.
And I re mylared everthing. All walls! Top to bottom.
Serious cash dumped into this effort, but unlike so many commercial and large scale growers I refused to take the easy way out and just throw a 1000 watt in there.
Many of you have spoken of .5per watt and even 1gm/per/watt grows with your 400's. No reason for me to take the easy way out. But if this doesn't get me hard nuggs- I will be throwing another 400 in the room- not to leave the club.
I haven't been photograping or posting since I did my first and again I apologize. Perhaps this is the return of OB Cron Kenobi. Either way I will follow this thread, and in 14 weeks (sounds way to long!) I will have the first crop done exclusivly under the new setup.
Dense buds or bust!
