    CAUTION: CMH (Ceramic Metal Halide) light dangers.

    Different feeling, this was more of a sunburn in your eyes. I have had it before from swimming all day without sunglasses, not water exposure either, just the sun.

    LED+CFL grow

    yea, i might have given you the wrong one, i always get them mixed up. make sure you check out the company that sells the spectra series, the other company is pretty horrible(from reviews/others opinions) http://www.growledhydro.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=0 are the guys you want.

    CAUTION: CMH (Ceramic Metal Halide) light dangers.

    Not sure how your temps are so high with that large of an area. Is it hot where you live? Do you have proper ventilation? With my 400 alone(hps or cmh) it is difficult to keep temps up enough. My outside the room temps stay at about 60(basement) and the outside ambient temps get as low as 39...

    LED+CFL grow

    Pro source are 500 for the 180w check out the link i gave before. The spectra 120 is a misleading name, it actually is a 180w system. goes for 389 or something. type in google HGL test or journal, you should find some good information. In fact do that for EVERY led you are going to consider...

    CAUTION: CMH (Ceramic Metal Halide) light dangers.

    I can tell from the first week(not even full week) that my plants love this CMH bulb over the previous hps(keep in mind i am/was vegging with hps, not ideal). The youngest plant has somewhat exploded, moreso than the older ones. Once i get far enough along i will add the 600 and we will be in...

    LED+CFL grow

    i would just start with a better light, If you want a good LED and dont want to pay the high end prices, i would go with the hydrogrowled units. (hydrogrowled.com). They are comparably priced and seem to preform really well. I will be getting a little 120(180w) unit for vegging and clones and...

    Upgrading my 400. STILL can't decide which route to take.t5 Side lighting? 1000w?CMH?

    Thanks for the info, i have already in fact settled on a 600w. I am going magnetic ballast as for now i am keeping the lighting cheap as possible so the future upgrades when they are refined will be less of a decision. I went with a 400w CMH bulb as well that i am using now for the first few...

    CAUTION: CMH (Ceramic Metal Halide) light dangers.

    It is a 400w system. And i have a few friend requests, but every time i try to confirm any of them i my screen never refreshes, it just stays idle. I will be going home for thanks giving, in about the second week of flowering, i intend on raising my light a foot or more(opinions) to avoid...

    small dresser grow CFL's

    ah and btw, the t5s have different bulbs for different uses. So you can buy your 6500k bulbs for veg and 2700k for flowering. It would be a pretty beastly dresser grow for sure. http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=56938 http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=51907...

    CAUTION: CMH (Ceramic Metal Halide) light dangers.

    I am liking this light a lot, it dropped my max temps down about 3-5 degrees and the plants seem to love it. I just kicked on 12/12 and am eagerly awaiting the results

    small dresser grow CFL's

    Lets see your grow box setup, do you have the fans needed? Make sure you keep an eye on the temps, my little cfl cab(slightly smaller than yours) got up to about 136 with no fans. Now i have one smallish intake and one small computer fan, it has a negative pressure and keeps the room at 80-85...

    1 month old Jet 47 Autoflower - look good? (PICS)

    is your soil draining well? it just seems such a long time to go without watering, but again it is fairly small.

    small dresser grow CFL's

    It would be fine. People, as you said, use computer cases that are about half that size for 1-2 plants. You will want to start them in opposite corners and run them along their walls, using a scrog. One plant or two will probably have similar yield as you will just use more or less of the space...

    "City Water" ?????

    the general concensus is that you can just let the water sit out(perhaps even with an air stone) for a length of time(2 days or so) and it should be good. But this is far too general for me, all different water sources have different treatments. I feel that some places use a chloride or...

    How horrible is the idea of a 5000w+ apt grow...

    Why so much light really? i mean we all know the reason, more light=more buds. But have you thought about 600s? They are more efficient(watt for watt) than 1ks and you can just have more of them if you really want. IN general i like your idea of just one hit and done. Have you grown before? I...

    Grafting Autoflowers onto a Non-auto base?

    Wow, i was just thinking of this type of thing(Grafting) and this just amazes me that it is actually possible. As for the auto question. Though the video plant looks to be producing very well, i cant help but think that in the process of healing some of the passage for nutrients etc would be...

    Im on board for sure. One of the first tests i imagine would be wise to run would be to inject pure PHd water into the stem itself, observe for any adverse reaction. If there is none then the basic foundation for this thought is solid as we would know they have absorption possibilities...

    Hey, i am not sure on what the specific hormone you need is. They just discovered a hormone/protein that is responsible for plant growth(it is the protein that replicates and expands) and this protein sucks in auxins and uses them to build from(as food). I am not sure if they have used this...

    CAUTION: CMH (Ceramic Metal Halide) light dangers.

    It depends on what bulb you buy, one has UV block added in and others dont. I will have to look up which is which, but perhaps you should not make blanket statements(nor should i). EDIT: Btw plants can and do use UV light. Too much can cause adverse effects, but supplementary uv light is...

    CAUTION: CMH (Ceramic Metal Halide) light dangers.

    I will be supplimenting this(or rather visa versa) with a 600w hps. It will raise my grow area to around(or above) 10,000 lumens sq/ft. pretty excited for that
