    Greenpoint seeds!!

    I was wanting to order either Texas butter or bodega bubblegum since it says they flower in 50 to 60 days. But i like how jelly pie sounds too. I want a strain that smells great and wont make me too sleepy.

    Just ordered grow equipment

    Yeah I've read about it. I plan on hanging the bulb from my ceiling in the center of my plants. But first ill probably just go buy a couple cfls and hang those till they get bigger.

    I mainly just wanted to see if anybody has experience on growing vertically with hps since I dont want to waste money on a tent or hood. And if anybody has experience growing either jelly pie or bodega bubblegum from greenpoint seeds. I may also be interested in Texas butter from greenpoint.

    Just ordered grow equipment

    Yeah I just plan on buying some promix and using nutes only when my plants show signs of deficiency. Ive been told before to treat it like a plant and keep it simple and that's what i plan on doing.

    yeah but 10 bucks for an ipower hps vs 45 for hortilux. I know the hortilux supposedly has better spectrum but idk if its worth the price. Especially if I use a new bulb every new grow.

    Just ordered grow equipment

    I plan on getting some promix and using ph'ed tap water for the first few weeks. If my plants show signs of deficiencies then ill feed some 20-20-20. I dont plan on using additional perlite because I feel it is unnecessary and I want my soil to retain water so I wont have to water as often. I do...

    Lol. Yeah i know. I plan on having 6 plants in solo cups for a few weeks and then transplant to 3 gallon pots. I've read its best to lift the pot up to see how dry it is before watering. Yeah from what I've read, its supposedly a great budget brand. What budget bulbs do you prefer?

    Just ordered grow equipment

    I ordered some stuff off amazon. after much research I plan on doing a vertical grow in a room I don't use. I bought an ipower 400 watt dimmable ballast, 400 watt hps, 400 watt mh, mogul socket with 15' cord, jr peters 20-20-20, and jr peters 10-30-20 all off of amazon. I know ipower is cheap...

    Hypothesis on how to make budget dimmable hid ballasts last longer.

    I wasn't aware that dimming the ballast could shorten a bulbs life like that if you didnt switch to a lower wattage bulb. Interesting. It seems like there's either really cheap grow equipment or really expensive but very few middle class options. I can unfortunately only afford the cheap stuff...

    Hypothesis on how to make budget dimmable hid ballasts last longer.

    I've read many reviews about cheaper hid ballasts that kick the bucket after just a couple months of use. Some electronics such as car audio equipment call for a break in period before going full power to prevent any damage to the product. So I was wondering if the same could be applied to...

    Vertical 600 watt hid grow with no tent

    Yeah and I really don't even smoke much so that's probably what ill do. Thanks.

    Vertical 600 watt hid grow with no tent

    I was actually thinking of downsizing to a 400 watt instead and I have a small fan that i can put directly below the light pointing up at it to help disperse the heat. I plan on putting some kind of shield between the ballast and plants and keeping the ballast as far away as possible. I plan on...

    Vertical 600 watt hid grow with no tent

    Ive been doing a lot of thinking about how I'm going to have my setup and i realized that ill save a lot of money if I just hang an hps light vertically around a group of six plants or so in a room that I use for storage. I've read a couple threads of people doing this and thought it sounded...

    Several small Walmart LED's vs popular LED grow lights.

    Yeah I thought about either a ho t5 setup or one of those viparspectra lights off amazon. I might just go that route instead.

    Need help please, sick plants week 3

    Yeah I know ph is important in soil too. But usually there are microbes in soil that help regulate the ph so you can just water with tap water and not have to worry about it. But like I said, maybe he should add some beneficial microbes to help with it.

    Need help please, sick plants week 3

    I'm new here but from what I've read, since you're using a 600 watt hps on seedlings, I think you should keep the light at least 3 feet above the top of the plants, if you are able to. I would also put a small fan in the grow space to circulate the air around them. At their age I doubt they are...

    Several small Walmart LED's vs popular LED grow lights.

    Hi everyone. this is my first time posting to a forum of any kind. Medical marijuana has recently been voted to be legal in my home state and I've done a lot of reading on growing marijuana, and it seems the more I read about growing it, the more excited and eager I become to grow my own. I can...
