Speaking of dynagro, I got their sample pack and one from botanicare. I have one on the way from Rx green solutions. I am an organic soil guy but I think I will do a coco and then a hydro grow. These should be enough.

Very nice man, yea I do a sort of combo, organic/supplemental chem grow style.

I mix a good soil, then plan on feeding very lightly about a month in and gradually more as they grow.

I have the grow formula from dynagro, I don't think I would ever use foliage pro because of my pseudo organic style

In my opinion I would sell the tron on Craigslist I don't know what there worth but if you get $250 for it you can buy a 600 dimable and a cheap vented hood and have $20 left over for some papers for all that tasty weed...
Yep, I could get $100.00 for it and use that for a ballast that is 250/400 switchable or a 400 dimmable and then all I would need are the lights to go in my 8" cooltube that I bought before I bought The Tron. We are still kicking around ideas. I like the results that I have seen with HID, but afraid of a high power bill with HID and really like the vertical lighting of The Tron. I also thought about installing T5 HOs in each corner of the tent and trying a ufo led light again, but had bad luck with the 90 watt ufo that I tried years ago so not sure if that is a good idea or not. After I got The Tron home, I noticed that one of the bulbs was burned out so I bought six bulbs for it; really cheap ones like less than $3.00/each. They are supposed to have a 18 month warranty so I was kinda planning on getting four grows out of it before I sell it, but now I don't know. I found some decent deals on Ebay for a 400 watt ballast that I am kicking around, just haven't found the perfect deal yet I guess.

Just dropped HS#3 in wet paper towels; water ph'd to 5.8 and soaking another cube in 5.8 water too.

Went down and moved everything around and decided to chop these two down to reveg for outdoors, I have a little comparative of my own with pot size. I started a bunch of seeds 12/12 from seed so I can get them outside mid may.
Ones in a 3.5 gal pot and other is in a 4 inch pot same strain, same dirt, same teas and a leaf off my purple crack gonna be fire, there is absolutely nothing better than growing and enjoying your own smoke. IMG_20160410_095123714.jpg IMG_20160410_094948419.jpg IMG_20160409_131934113.jpg

Thanks man it's very gratifying cutting them down. I don't know if your in the States but htg supply has super good deals on lights and they always have clearance sales or hit up these manufacturers directly alot of companies will hook you up if you pay shipping there's lots of light manufacturers start emailing I get free nutes all the time and have some hash bags coming from some random sales rep. All they can say is no but most are real good people.

Yes it is more or less a self contained growing unit. However, we keep ours in a tent to manage light, smell and sound (the fan makes little noise). The directions for The Tron are confusing; it's like, one paragraph will say don't keep it in a closet because you need to put it in a well ventilated area, but the next paragraph will say something like when the lights turn off you need complete darkness, so we keep ours in a tent. Initially, I was going to get a HID system to put in the tent, but I ran across this Tron on CL and it was affordable so we kicked around the idea. My bottom line was: grow six plants in a Tron or six plants in a tent. The Tron is much smaller which would make the grow more efficient, but we already had the tent so we put The Tron in the tent.

We are still debating switching over to HID, but haven't made any final decisions yet. In fact, when I am done here, I will be trolling CL and Ebay to see what ballasts are available that are affordable to us. According to the directions of the tent, (it's a Hydrohut 3'x3'x6.5' Silver Edition) it is recommended that a 250 watt be used for veg and a 400 watt be used for flowering, so I will be shopping for a 250/400 switchable like a Lumatek or Xtra-Sun. I found some off brand ballasts on Amazon that are switchable and are affordable ($120.00 or so with bulbs) but that's a Gromedic and I don't know anything about them and had never heard of them until a year or so ago when I started shopping for a light system.
I have never ran a name brand ballist, running a hydrogalxay and a thunder ballist now, both have held their own! I did have an iPower, it went down after a year of use. I get all my stuff 2nd hand off CL too. IMO hid is great! U just need an air cooled hood most times and a properly rated cfm fan to push air through it.don't get to cheap with your carbon filter though, I used to run the cheap Amazon ones, they got me by, but switched to Can Fans and they get the job done much better as far as odor

Yes I only grow for myself so I do a variety 12/12from seed it's nice to smk something different all the time I tried timing these with spring. I harvest the top half then revege indoors for a month then they go outside and man they become monsters. Next time you sex one let it go about 3 weeks into flower then put it back under 20/4 it takes a couple weeks for it start new growth then it takes off crazy growth 5 branches turn into 25 real quick

Cool beans bro.. (: so you just write um and ask 4 samples, also did you have to pay s/h:confused: I've had a few companies tell me if I'd cover the s/h they'd send the samples is why I was wondering. .
Speaking of dynagro, I got their sample pack and one from botanicare. I have one on the way from Rx green solutions. I am an organic soil guy but I think I will do a coco and then a hydro grow. These should be enough.

I am so impatient to pop my Heisenbergs but it's kind of awkward with them being autos and everything else I have is photo and I don't have the space in my veg closet to finish them out in there so I'm going to have to wait until space isn't such an issue but it's killing me!

The one positive I can find is that all you awesome growers that have got there before me have learned all the lessons for me so I can just soak up the knowledge to use on mine! It seems to be a lovely looking plant from the pictures I've seen and you're all doing great! There's too many of you to mention individually but I'm watching your grows with interest and can't wait to get mine on the go, hopefully I'll do them justice :peace:
