Just a heat mat for cold nights :-)
The wife & I prefer cooler inside temperatures, and she opens the sliding glass door when she exercises in the room here at night, so it's hard on the seedlings & sprouts & clones.
The heat mat, along with a temperature controller, makes sure the soil stays warm for proper rooting. :-)
Was $20 for the mat, and $17 for the temperature controller. :-)

If the bulb is using 40 watts (and claims a higher equivalent wattage), the you'll be able to grow those under a .1 meter square area, or about 9 of the blue party cups in my pic.
They will outgrow that fast, which is why I use a total of six 48-inch long T-12 fluorescent tube lights to get them ready for the 600w mH or 600w HPS light.
They have two tubes each fixture, at 40watts per tube (80watts per fixture), and I use 3 fixtures for a total of 240watts.
Each fixture is about 6-inches wide (15.7cm) and 48-inches long (1.2m).
But you need a wide enough place to hang them.
You can also get High Output T-5 fluorescent fixtures with the same wattage but only half as long., so they will work in a smaller space.

There are LED lights, too, if you have the money for them.

Lots of choices, just depends on the space you have to grow in, and how much you are willing to spend on equipment and supplies.

  • Well fesh nutes an air and all, but they all look sick 24 hr after they hit the caly balls,
    The ones in hempy look fine still.

    Does anyone have any experience with the Atami B'Cuzz Hydrp Rokz??
    I think the knock-off Hydroton might be the issue.
    The res looks cloudy like from clay dust.
    I washed them vigorously, with hot water and a strainer.​

Alright, thanks. Yeah I've heard good things about all of them, so just trying to bring it down to one.

The only one I've actually had a run in with was Pandora's Box and I was just smoking it, that was years ago though and who knows if it was the real deal lol.

It looks like that screen that YM is using is one of the wire shelves
from the inexpensive greenhouses that amateur mycologists all use. :0)

Also, I flipped the Apollo BX just the other day.

I can not say too much about it yet, but that it is a strong grower,
but this goes for all TGA gear as far as I can tell.

Good luck,

JD

Just picked up a new T5 fixture for vegging. Should fit just right over one of my turbogardens. I have had issues with the power company and can't run nearly as much as I have in the past. Basically, I had 3 electric meters go bad in close sequence and I'm sure it was from a wonky 1K ballast. I had some electronics burn out around the same time. It's when I noticed a little flickering in a grow light that I put two and four together, but the power co. started sniffing too. Digital Greenhouse 1K, 2nd gen. if you wonder. Now running through a serious surge protector and only 600W. A year ago, I was running 3200W total pretty much all the time. It's a wrinkle I never considered. Live and Learn. Sharing.

What's that you are using for your screen? Is it just connected to the pot with those four stakes?

Plastic coated steel mesh.
Exactly what Javadog said, a shelf out of a cheap herb greenhouse.

Pretty much, yeah.
4 bamboo canes duct taped round the pot, steel mesh wedged into place, duct tape the canes to the mesh, tie the plant to the mesh as it grows.

Alright cool thanks. Just like the idea of the screen being attached to the pot, instead of built into the flower area or making a big table/cube deal with PVCs.

It was intended to be like that at first, fill the screens then I would extend them to fit a frame in my loft space but a time constraint popped up so I had to flower them early.
Only as big as the first screens each.
