FIRST GROW! Soil and a 400w mh/hps. PRAY FOR GIRLS!!!

The t5 setup draws 316 watts for a total of 30000 lumens but ive always read that 5000 lumens is just that so even if u got 6 bulbs that are 5000 lumens that is what ur plants will get not 30000 lumens like a hid but just seperated lumens multiplied by 5000 if this makes sense to everyone.

Hmmmm...that is very interesting sir. I may have to do some reading! If what you stated above is true, its a no brainer for the hid right? Draws the same power with as many, if not more lumens!? Right?
 
Yeah i pretty sure bout it too, i jus needed more input like i kno t5s get a lil hot but i wonder how would the heat be off 2 150 mhs? I also like the2 150 idea cause ill be able to keepem at different heights for seedlings and bigger vegging plants.

Good point on the ability to have a height difference. As long as you can manage the heat, run with the hid for sure!
 
Yea they gotta be mine are showing on some pretty good so i kno urs look nice cant wait for pics im kinda bored lookin in my closet it wont gro while im watchin it by what i can tell :lol:

Someone, anyone I need an update!!!! :lol: !!!!
 
haha yeah man my plants grow so SLOW cuz i look at them 10x a day LOL. they do grow overnight tho when im sleeping ><
 
Update wont be until real late tonight, or at worst, tomorrow morning :). Ended up picking up an extra shift at work, so I'm there until midnight instead of my usual 3pm end time. They are for sure putting hairs out, not a ton, but on its way no doubt. My sativa kush seems to be pushing the most out as of yesterday. I think it'll make some nice buds!!!
 
GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!!!!!

once the hairs start coming out they come full throttle. you will look at them 6 hours later and have 3x the hairs as the last time you looked :) waiting for update your plants make me jelous :)
 
update: 14 days flowering
Hey guys, sorry for depriving you of pictures. I have been very very busy lately. These were taken last night. Starting to get a lot of hairs shooting out!! Trimmed up some more undergrowth and took 8 new clones from what I trimmed. Hopefully they fare better than the first clones I took. How do yall think they look? I'll catch up on everyone's threads soon!!! :)

hey bro how are the original clones doing? they rooted yet?

Fuck, I don't know man. I think they are, but no roots coming out sides of rapid rooters yet. I plan on putting those original 5 in some solo cups and soil tomorrow and see what happens. They look pretty terrible though:wall: .
 
awww shit..

Looks good...

I use Orange scissors too

Haha, thanks. There are so many budsites everywhere, can't wait until it all fills out!!!!!!! I want to upgrade so bad now though. I've been thinking about buying a 600w hps and building a new cab or room for it. And just use the 400w hps/mh and cab for vegging! Man....won't be long before I want a warehouse with 20-1,000 watters :)

haha I hear you. but because this is just for me.. I'm going to stick with 400w for now..

I was getting super eager too and wanted to upgrade to a 600w but I'll just invest in a better bulb for next round and try to perfect things based on my current set up.
