boost is the nutes that are used when feeding with flower food, I use all Ionic products so I couldn't really give you info on more products....I'm quite new at this 2. YY, the B&Q stuff has enough food in for 4 weeks, that's why i only fed half the amount of the veg stuff for the first 4 weeks, however - in flowering it was getting both my food and the stuff in the soil. Seems to have worked ok

ok so boost is bloom? I was just worried as i got nute lock but i am right in thinking the general rule is high nitrogen for veg low for bloom, mine says suitable for tomato plants, bonsia trees. Conifers etc?

Wass up Stoners, im growing 2 WW fems an 2 nirvana auto NL fems in a dr60 under a 125w dual spectrum cfl. An Ive read a lot of threads with people saying cfls have nothing on HPS so Ive order 250w HPS Sunmaster dual spectrum with ballast and reflector to hang by rollers to replace the 125w cfl. I was just wondering if i would really need an extractor fan for my tent even if it is near a window. An if i do need 1 could anyone recommend a decent extractor fan for a nice price.......

you bro - had a 400w hps since i started, so I couldn't make a personal judgement. You should be fine with the 250w for ur 4 plants I think - i went too big at 1st and its taken me some time to control the temps - I have a small extractor fan4" for bathrooms and I also keep the window open all the time

same i had a 600w hps an was told thats way too much only sold it a few days a go. When using a extractor fan will i need ducting or will it still extract air without ducting?
