im alive boy that sucked.gonna rain today and im feeling alot better so lookout growroom,got my 600 but they sent wrong hood so its going back.gotta due some research on this 400 my m8 gave me its a damn baylight with the ballast hooked to the bulb and it gets hot as hell,ive smoked what he has grown with it and it was damn good,hes an ol hippy like me grew up in hawaii and has a great amount of growing skills,but im not sure if its a halide are halogen it says baymaster on it and is white i fired it up and it looks like a halide alot of blueish when bulb lights but probly wont use it.what to do dont want to hert his feelings cause he swears by it and was getting over an oz per plant on a 3 month grow.london you around m8 whats this about using the ol tellie and no pc i could never figure out how to do what your doing with a phone thanks for the get well i was spewing from both ends lol.

Ewww too much info lol glad ya better tho. Typical about yr new 600watter u wait all that time then they send the wrong thing! I had to order a new carbon filter last week coz my local growshop didnt have my size in stock, first time ordering online, came ok in 3days. That light yr friend gave u, does it say anything on the bulb? Over here 400w halogen bulbs are about 6" in length and really skinny, they dont look anything like the mh/hps bulbs were used to, an if yr mate has grown with it, it probly is a mh coz halogens are pretty useless for growing, and it sounds like a mh with the blue/white light emitted as u say.

yea the phone internet thing on my network its called "web n walk" its probably totally different in the u.s but im pretty sure most mobile networks do similar things, as long as yr phone has a web browser, nearly all phones nowadays have, just contact yr mobile network provider, and they should send all the settings to yr phone, it automatically saved into my phone so i didnt hav to do anything. You'l need to subscribe to some sort of web package or it'l cost a fortune if u just dial up randomly without one, im on a pre pay mobile so i pay £2.50 for a 5 day web n walk pass no contract just send a text when i want a pass and it deducts the money off my pre pay credit, but if i was on a monthly contract phone it'd cost just £7.50per month. So basically once uv done all that u just hit the internet option in yr phones menu and away u go, its ok not as good as proper p.c internet coz the web pages are reformatted for mobile phone screen and things get left out, and its slow as hell at the best of times like right now tonight its on a mega go-slow! But its good enough for me, at least til i get my p.c online anyway.

yea ive wanted to put a mh in with my hps for ages, but i dont think my temps will allow it, id have to put the mh in another cooltube and get a bigger fan to blow thru both tubes, and my wallet definately wont allow it either, u'l definately get a higher yield with a longer veg time, when i first started growing in soil, in haste i used to flower my seedlings when they were just 2-3weeks old, they'd finish at a pathetic 2foot tall at the most giving me 1/2oz average, gradually upped the veg time and now i veg for 6-8weeks and i get 3 to 4oz p/plant average. What kinda help are u looking for? Sounds like u doing fine already!

I own a small hvac company,and i cant find anygood help that will show up and not steal me blind.before i was only showing sex at 2 weeks now ive already got the buds i was telling u about there growing fast as hell cant wait to put the longer veggers in there because like u say i to get about 10 grams with a 4 week veg,gonna wait till there about 2 ft instead of 1ft,i dont think they will end up 5 ft what u think??? i have been flowering at about 1 ft and they end up about 3,the ones i flowered last have been 18 days now and seemed to have stop vertical growth and there only 2 ft little bushes i really need to improve my yields......the longer veg will help now that i have 800 watts of hid,just the damn snail veg with 1200 watts of cfls is killing me there just getting bushy and no hight i cant even get some clones maybe next week i can.lond what kinda lighting do you veg with??

is height an issue in yr room? If theyre veg'd til 2' they could well hit 5' easily. But if they get too tall u can always bend them over a bit and tie the tops down, but yr yield from a 5' foot plant will be alot greater than what yr getting already, just dont forget if yr veggin longer you'l need a bigger final pot size to allow for the increase in root mass, but all this means more bud! I veg 5 seed grown plants at a time under 2 x 125w envirolites, u know the large high power cfl's with the standard E40 screw in growlight fitting? one in a reflector one hanging, did have 2 blue spectrum in there but i broke the hanging one a few weeks ago so i had to replace it with my spare red spectrum til i get another blue, they grow just as quick as when i was veggin under my 250hps with half the heat of the hps! Theyre that good i can get 2-3' (depending on strain) of veg growth in 8weeks, and take a few clones and root them, then leave them for a few more days to grow a little rootball then it all goes under the 600w hps in my budbox, not bad for 250watts of cfl! Heres a lil pic of my veg room i raised the lights a little so u can see them, theyre normally kept 2" from the tops. Plants are 3 big buddha cheese and 2 ghs NL#5xHaze mist all feminised, ranging 3-4wks old, they stay there til my church are done in 4weeks time.

no ive got plenty of room,i framed in a room 10x10 with 8ft ceilings.i wish i had gotten the big lights i made a batwing from a vanity fixture the one that has 4 lights put a y inthe socketts and have 8 43w daylight bulbs.ive got a friend that owns a hydro store he sent me some freebies from humbolt GRAVITY,AND PURPLE MAX i mixed the gravity wrong and noticed my damn leaves turning at a 45 degree angle towards the lights reread the directions and i had put 2x what direction said so had to change the res again thats some strong stuff,i hope i caught it fast enough.he also sends me this magazine called MAXIUM YIELD ever heard of it ??alot of good reads.ive never posted pics because i dropped my camera in the res about a month ago gonna get one soon is it hard to post?? remember im not good at these damn computers,EARL was telling me had to have a photobuckett account and i know hes not around much cause hes not growing because of the heat and dont know who else to ask??im a little scared TOO.

whats this gravity and purple max? Ive never heard of it? I was given a freebie of some dutch masters liquid light a while back and i was testing it on my church in early bloom, it makes all your leaves twist, turn and point straight up towards the light for a couple of days before u use it again, never noticed any difference in the growth tho so i wont be using it again, never heard of 'maximum yield' over here im subscribed to urban garden mag, its not weed related just anything to do with the indoor garden, and i normally buy a copy of weed world and red eye mags when i go and buy seeds. Posting pics for me is easy on the phone, just hit manage attachments when i reply to a post, then choose the option to upload from my computer, this takes me into my phones memory card, choose the pic(s) i want then hit upload, when its uploaded close the manage attachments window then submit reply. Only trouble is coz im on my phone it takes forever to upload, about 20mins per pic so if i post 3pics it'l take an hour!

oh cool, lots of different nutes available in the us, i normally use additives but recently stopped, and im getting pretty much the same results using just bio grow and bloom. so all these years ive been wasting money on products that do nothing!!!!
