Hey just had a couple of general questions on lighting. I have a 75 watt hps light, yes I know its not going to produce the kind of yield as a 400 watt, however its what I have and I want to use. "cost effective" For two plants it should be better than a few cfl's right? Any help would be great thanks!!!! :joint::mrgreen:

fuck the cfls... the best way to maximize growth is with a vertical scrog... basically a barrell of green...

chicken wire 1.5 ft wide and long enough to wrap around the bulb with an 8 inch gap between bulb and wire (so about 18 inch diameter)... train 2 plants in that until half full, flip to flower and you should be set =]

what kinda medium? hydro/soilless i suggest using gh micro and bloom... 2 parts micro to 1 part bloom for veg, reverse ratio during flower =]

simple yet oh so effective... if you want to get a little better results, go 2:2 for the first 4 weeks of flower, should give you some weight in the end....
