So how are you not very happy with led growth....then recommend to us to buy the same led units? forgive me, i am a little lost here. Plenty of people (in this very thread) are growing just fine with 200w or so of LED, maybe you just picked one of the many LED companies that just have a good...

I love these little boxes. Then again i have a case of the grass is always greener syndrome. I always envy other peoples grow ops. If its sub mini like these i love it, then the huge ones i love, it happens with all my hobbies.

Second the HID lighting, if you have the means, its a great upgrade. Once the summer hits you can route the hot air into your house or out through your furnace exhaust vent. But having those heaters at about 75 should help a lot while keeping energy costs lower. Take a good look at the little...

These plants do tend to smell. Make sure you have about 200$ before you jump in. You will need fan(s) many lights, walls, pots, soil, nutes, testing equip... it all adds up rather quick... for cheap as dirt. check out the ghetto growers club, they are your best bet here (along with the DIY...

ah my idea was something like this 1hr (400w cmh) 10 hours (600w hps) 1hr (400cmh) so 12 total hours with the mixed spectrum on at the sunrise and sunset. just thinking out loud really.

Sunlight>everything... for now anyway :p I have been thinking about that recently. I mean if a plant can absorb up to five times normal co2 as occurs in nature, i am also sure the amount of nutrients are not available in hardly any natural places so more there too, how about light? obviously...

wow 400 in a 600 ballast? is the ballast dimmable?

As i said earlier too, too much will indeed be bad for plants. I have not done the research to find proper levels and intensities. What i do know is that the unfiltered CMH bulbs have UV output and i also know that this bulb grows some great plants. I know my eyes are at particular risk...

i believe Lumitek has made a bulb designed for the higher frequencies of digi ballasts. i would look into those or look into a low freq digi ballast (AN has one)

i would avoid anything with the term chloride in it. just get some distilled water if you just need a jug, or buy empty jugs at and fill them at kingsoopers, they dispense reverse osmosis water that is very pure (usually around 15ppm). As part of your feeding add like 1 teaspoon of cal/mag per...

without a co2 ppm test its unclear how effective this is. couldnt hurt though

Looks good and i am sure it works fine, one question. What medium is used to wick the water up? A strip of cotton or something similar?

yeah it depends on the plant genetics, the lights used, light proofing, and far too many factors for me to list. are there preflowers and buds of any sort?

^ that and aren't those pipes copper? If so then the proper response is what rust?

well its not really a count, its not like every plant(of a specific seed) will take exactly 80 days to flower. it depends on grow medium, care, environment, light, and general happiness of the plant. So dont pay too much attention to the specific numbers. for conversation sake though you count...

Haha no idea what happened to my last font. well anyway, i use miracle grow African Violate soil when i am going cheap and when i can find it (walmart, lowes, etc). It is really good to me and does not contain the MG time release pitfalls. If i am spending more time/money i recently tried...

For lights, you can get some "CFL" which are the little curly lightbulbs from homedepot etc. Get ones that say Daylight brightness/color, or they will say 6500k or around there. Those will work for your vegetative stage. Then switch the bulbs for 2700k or soft white brightness/color. If your...

where do you get a 1 on 4 off timer? i found one at my local hydro shop, but it was 60$ and that seems excessive, other options?

I have seen 15 on every hour(45 off). but when i was aero i was 24/7 which i am sure was one of my mistakes. On a side note what are you using for a timer? i need more specific timers than commonly available(15 minute increments are too much sometimes)
