I germinated, and planted all 4 of these autos into red cups on April 28th, let's just say May 1st. I went straight from the red cups to the 5 gallons, since they say autos don't have a long enough veg time to make up for the shock from multiple transplants. I am a novice. I'm trying to...

I have these under a 400W MH at 20 inch distance. Most of them are right at 2 weeks old. A few of them are a few days behind, so some are at about a week and a half. I have the light setting at 125W. Would you recommend that I shorten the distance now, or perhaps increase the wattage at...

I have a 400 watt Super HPS bulb and a 400 W MH bulb, and I'm trying to find the right wattage to use on 4 cups of auto seedlings for the first few weeks? I already planned on starting out at about 23 inches distance and adjusting from there, but I wasn't sure about wattage in a 4x4 tent. I...

Are there any cannabis-friendly household alternatives that can be used besides ph up/ph down fluids? I read that citric acid/lemon juice and baking soda can be used to adjust ph levels, but I wasn't sure if those are safe for cannabis? I was also wondering if this is one of those cases where...

I'm starting to lean towards trying to find a used LED that pushes true 600 Watts and at least 1100 PPF. I don't want to miss out on the benefits of LED. My budget for my initial equipment buy was to try to stay under $500, and I'm already $100-in with the tent I bought yesterday. I've read...

How do I find the "best deals" section in this forum? I didn't see it on the main forum page. It looks like I'm looking for something with 600 true watts with PPF of at least 1100 or so. Seems like those are pretty expensive. Is it possible to find something like that used in the $200 -...

How much is needed to flower?

Is it ok to buy lights in used condition, or is that a no-no in your book? Also, what's the best economical grow light for my 4x4 tent in your opinion? I was looking into some used Spider Farmer 2000 Watt LED's, but only because the guy I bought the tent from recommended them as his favorite...

I'm about to buy that 4x4. Are used lights a no go? Also is there a specific shape of light that's better than others? Google says a 600w would suffice, do you agree? Again, I'm planning on running 4-5 gallon fabric pots for now.

Are those the only 5 items I need to piece-together, or are there more things to get? I've only been looking at kits up to this point, so I dont know the exhaustive list of parts

Thanks for the suggestion. Yeah, I know it's work, I enjoy it though. I did an outside grow last year, messed up a lot, but learned a lot as well.

I didn't even think about pets causing issues. Yeah, we have 1 cat; cats can cause problems on indoor grow tents, huh? Piecing it together seems like a daunting task, as I'm not sure what all I need to buy other than the tent, light, and fan. There's ducting and filters as well, is that it...

I was under the impression something like this with so many parts is something you'd want to buy new. People have had good experiences buying used tent kits? I didn't wanna have to replace something sooner than I'd need to, but that is indeed food for thought. Thanks for responding.

I'm looking to purchase a grow tent kit (everything included, e.g. filters, ducting, etc). I was about to buy this Vivosun tent kit, but it's tough to cough-up $500 without knowing all of my options. I'd prefer to pay much less if possible. Ideally I'd like to grow 4 auto's at once in 5...

I was biased to buy from them since i'm from Michigan (Great Lakes) but they didn't have what I'm looking for. I definitely bookmarked them though.
