Just pricing out at the moment so any input would would helpful. Sooo basically 3X3' or possibly 4x4' grow tent, had my eyes on a couple LED panels such as viparspectra, Mars 600w or 2 300s due to energy savings but mainly thinking less heat and not possibly needing a bunch of duct fans ect...

Its been about a week and a half and this little girl won't really sprout or at least is behind. I need to make sure she is salvageable or that I can get her to sprout leaves. Should I leave her in the tent under 400 watt MH or put it under a 55-watt cfl alone? any help is appreciated. I don't...

I have an Ultra Sun MH bulb, I was going to use for veg and switch to my hortilux for flower. I am open to opinions on just scrapping the cheap MH and just running the hortilux the whole way through. What chall think? Ditch the MH or stick with it. Thanks in advance

So need to know how many plants I can get under a 400 watt HPS/MH grow. First time using HID lights

hey guys, been doing so much light research the last week or so, my head is about to pop. all the shizz i have seen regarding radio frequency interference from digital ballasts is a couple years old, is this still an issue with new production ballasts? we have relatively cheap magnetic...

hey team, looking for lighting options in the 200$ range, no access to AC at the moment, and working with a 80X80X160 CM tent. currently running 2 Viparspectras but I'm not happy with the performance, so will be returning them and looking at other options... is a 600watt HID overkill for...

Hello all, new member here who's just started my first indoor grow. Just really asking for a basic layout of what temperature and humidity I should be at for each stage of my grow. So what should my air and soil be at for seedling growth? Then how long do I keep it at that for? Then again with...

So this is a thread for sources ( reliable ) for COB LEDS. I have been trying to gets some citizens for a project but a " certain " source seems to be out of stock for quite awhile. Since i didn't get a response about when more stock would come in , i throw the question out there to the forum...

Hello all! _____________________________________________________ TL;DR Zero-experience noob, need advice to decide between 300W LED and 250W-400W MH/HPS setup. Grow area will be 32"x32" (80x80cm), height undecided (63"-71", 160-180cm). Tropical climate (right on top of Tropic of Capricorn)...

There seems to be a lot of confusion in here about what the actual truth is, with regards to the importance of spectrum as I have stated numerous times light quantity and light quality go hand in hand. Plenty disagree citing science journals, me personally I like to deal with real world facts I...

First time grower here trying to set things up, so I probably can't say thank you enough in advance for any help or comments! :P Set up: 400w Apollo MH bulb, 1000w Hydro Crunch air cooled reflector hood, 400w Apollo ballast Electricity: old house, probably old wiring, the only thing running in...

First off, comments are appreciated. Especially if the comments are funny with good info! I'd like for this to be fun and involved for myself and anyone curious about my grow. Okay, then! Journal time! I'm hopefully going to begin a grow. I've ordered 75% of my stuff which should all arrive...

I'm starting this journal currently in various stages of growth for many of the plants. From seedlings to six weeks. I have a tent I made myself that will be switched to the flower room very soon as my veg tent is almost done. It has am aircooled 400 watt in it and 4 5 week plants. 2...

I have recently relocated to a state 1500 miles from my old home and had to leave all of my equipment behind. Instead of buying a grow tent I have been building my own wi th a very simple design and for at least 50% of the cost of a premade tent of the same size The frame is made from 3/4"...

I'm currently growing in a 3'x3'x7'11" tent. My primary light is a 315W CMH. I plan on growing them as wide and tall as possible to maximize my space. I recall reading that with some lights, such as mine, it only penetrates the top 3 feet of the canopy, with the rest of the plant going to waste...

Hello, I am about to flower my plants.First I want to transplant my 3gal pot to a 7 gal but I will also be using a HID for flower. I used a LED with CFLs for veg(CFLs most of its life). My question is should i have my plants under HID before I transplant. Also do these plants look fine to you guys

Hi all ! Im getting my first HID 600w soon, I as wondering where i should install my ballast and whats the best, safest way to do it? Im placing the HID in my flower tent, 4x4. It has ducting connect to my veg tent which is sucking the veg tents air in the carbon filter then out my window....so...

Is having a 1000 Watt HID dimmed to 600 watts the same as having a 600 Watt only HID? does it have the same efficiency?
