Yeah if you are using indacasant bulbs that is a no..no bro. Go to the store and get a bunch of big whit cfls or get a couple floresant lamps with daylight bulbs that should be fine.

Hey man this is my first time growing right now im using 6 40 watt fluorescent bulbs for 6 plants i know its not the greatest light setup but its my first time i just want a successful grow under my belt first before i go to into it. anyways ive done a lot of research and i have gotten an answer for everything but is it possible to use those watering bulbs on my babies they are suppose to release water when the soil gets dry and releases a gas is it possible to use these without either over watering or under watering them?

Here is one for you:
Can I add Big Bud to my otherwise completely organic grow without negatively impacting the health of the plants? In other words... will this help to increase my yield?

I used to grow chem hydro, and I got huge yields with my sensi 2-part and big bud. I am using BMO nutes now, and while my plants are very healthy, the yield is not shaping up quite as well.

Any advice on that matter?kiss-ass

It could work but just water them by the signs of the plant or just when the soil is dry 2 inches below the top of the soil. t is cheaper.

Depends on the amount of plants size of area and budget go with what you want . Sizes I am not sure I make homeade tanks sorry.

You probably can get a bit bigger yeilds with chems, but some people get finiky bout taste It should increase the yeild just dont over feed. It may be lights Are they different HPS gets the most out of size.
 

what to do...

I'm planning to start my first closet grow in the near future. As far as ventilation goes, I'm going to drill one large hole on top for exhaust with a fan and a homemade carbon filter and a hole on the bottom of the door for intake. For exhaust, can I just have it blow the hot/stagnant air into my room or does it have to be directed outside or into the attic or whatever. The reason i think it might be a problem is because the exhaust is going to be somewhat near the intake (a few feet) and it might circulate old air or would this not be a problem?
thanks

also, what other plants are almost identical to cannabis when it comes to growing supplies and such. If someone asks me when i'm shopping for supplies I want to have an answer
