Yep, I got a similar height restriction. I am trying the 4-way LST w/scrog. Another question! Why are you going from SCROG to SOG? just to try it out? I am considering SOG to give me the flexibility to move my plants around.

Looks good! look forward to seeing them grow! I'm curious - why did you flip them when they were small? Do you get a better yield with more, but smaller plants?

What is your nutes schedule?

Post some pictures - this may help with some feedback. Tough to tell what is going on. 90-95F is too hot. You should have seen some the leaves 'canoeing'. Also sounds like you may have been watering too much. I would let it dry out until the pot is light or dry to your finger stuck in the...

Good luck on your grow ! I too would recommend reading some of sticky posts in the newbie section. Lot of good info! Once you get some general info, you would be better off developing some specific questions - then we can all help ! I would recommend you consider: - what is your budget? - how...

Sounds OK - you may want to mix in some perlite & lime. HF and OF are kinda similar. Not sure of the benefit of mixing them together, or a recommended ratio. I am using OF and Light Warrior. LW is very different than OF (it has more perlite & less nutes), so you can get a different composition...

I got two plants under my 400W w/a scrog screen in a 2x3 footprint. I may do 3 or 4 in the future, with less veg time. Eight plants may be too many. You could do it they were small, or if you were OK with less light coverage. I read where a 400W projects an optimum footprint of 2.5 x 2.5'. I...

Yes, I am growing - just don't have the results & meds that you show in this thread! I plan to flip the lights on my plants on Sunday. See you in about 10 weeks! Hope to have some quality homegrown buds by then! I look forward to someday making my first run of bubble hash. Right now just...

Good thread! Quality buds & some good hash!! I look forward to the day I can write a similar thread!!

I have got a real similar grow going on, my first time with FF OF, LW, and nutes! I would go with 1/4 the recommended dosage, then work you way up to 1/2, then read you plants as needed for any increased dosage. Remember, FF recommends feeding every other watering (~once/6 days - see below). I...

Plants look good & healthy! Good job! Maybe a little stretchy (bigger gaps between nodes). How close do you have your T5s? I had mine ~1-2" away.

Looks good - very well done for 1st grow. Keep working on your photos! I can't tell the true color of your leaves/buds under the HPS light!

I got a 'stealth' box, with a veg side & flower side. The flower size is 2x3x4' tall with 400W HPS. For me, the biggest limitation was height. So I have to actively manage plant size, including selecting strains that fit my limitations. Also, I have limited room to work, so...

84C (183.2F)? whoa... You probably have 84F. How are you measuring the temperature? Is the light hitting your thermometer? You may be getting an artificially high reading. You should shade your meter & measure near plant canopy. How are your plants looking? I don't know if 180 cfm will...

Sounds good - I put my fan in an insulated box for noise control, and bought a variac fan controller. I have been having some temp problems, and decided that I did not have enough air intake. I added some PC fans to my vents & that dropped the temps a couple of degrees.

What is your soil? You are 2 weeks from seed?? Depending upon your soil, I would think it a bit too early for nutes. Got any pictures? If you go with nutes, go easy .......

So the filter sucks & discharges into the room? you are using it as a scrubber? This is a big room. I don't know the cfm of the fan, but I would think you would want some more air movement. Has this setup worked for growing? If yes, it should be enough for drying. Sorry, I don't use CO2 -...

Sorry to hear about the glass. Bummer. I think you should always suck through the filter. This uses the prefilter to prevent fouling, and more initial surface area of the carbon. I suck throught the filter, then blow throught the reflector. Most reflectors are not air tight, and I don't want...

I think a 4' T5 high output (HO) would fit your needs. I did a search on walmart, and it seems they have the lamps, but I did not find a fixture. I only did a quick search. If you find a combination, post it here for some opinions. But since you have access to the internet, you should be able...

Yep - if I measure, it is from the glass. Minor difference from glass to bulb. But I really don't measure distance, I measure heat from the palm of my hand. As long as it is not too hot and you are getting good coverage (light spread) from your reflector, keep it as close as you can!
