How many plants did you grow last time? How big is your space? 150W + T5 is not a lot of light. Depending upon your results last time, I would go with two plants in 3 gal pots filled up to top!

Both have worked well for me. I see who has what in stock, who has better prices, and what are the freebies! I am thinking about an order to celebrate 420 (April 20th). I like Sea of Seeds 420 promo better (20% off vs free seeds)

Good luck with your grow box! You could start with 2 plants, then maybe try 4 plants your 2nd grow. I like a scrog better than sog; you have the training tool readily available with the screen. Your grow box is 4' high, but you may lose 12"+ with the pot & light space needs. I would...

Whoa - that is some bad odds. Do NOT go to Vegas! Take a second look at your genetics. Consider going elsewhere for grow #2. Also consider your environment. Did you have anything working against you? There are a couple of good threads here on 'how to grow female plants'. Higher humity...

maybe look at the vertical grow forum for ideas to improve what you got! Sounds like you are halfway to a vertical grow setup!

Yes, they will grow! You are going to have to add water!! What is your budget for this grow space? You may want to partition off an area so you can better manage your lights & ventilation. Four CFLs (wattage?) may offer some limitations on how many plants & how big you can get. What ambient...

By the volume of your post & efforts, I would recommend you water at 6.5 for the next week. It sounds like you have tried to address one problem (nute def?) and may have caused another one (pH?). You have done a lot, changed a lot. Tough to troubleshoot with this many variables. I did not read...

You mention 2 600W bulbs, then ask about 1 600 vs 2 300? Do you have 1 or 2 600W lamps? For your space, I like two lamps vs one. If you can manage the heat, I like 2x600 vs 2x300.

I agree - looks like a little nute burn. Can you post a photo(s) of the whole plant? Have you grown in this soil before? What is your nute feeding history?? I grow in OF + Light Warrior mix, and don't feed for the first 3 weeks, then phase in the nutes every other watering at 1/4 then 1/2...

Unfortunately, I agree. I do not get good results using RIU's search button If I am interested in an answer, I usually just use google. If you are interested in some info from RIU, you can use google to search just the RIU site. For example, if interested in temperature, you could type this...

I would start with selecting a plant strain. Genetics are going to play a large role in the plant structure. You may want to consider Northern Light. Then you can do some plant training to help shape your grow. FIM, topping, super cropping all will work. I would recommend you review the 4-way...

I have interpreted the Fox Farm feeding schedule differently. I think the EC and PPM value are the end result after mixing the nutes as listed. You don't have to measure EC or PPM for adding nutes to soil; you mix per their receipe. That said, I have read & experienced that their feeding...

Nice plants - tight nodes! Might get a little crowed in there !!

Looks pretty good! Could be a sizeable harvest! Plant color looks a little off, probably from your lights. Next time, take photos without your lights using your flash or normal room lights. What strain are you growing?

I use the clamp from Home Depot, then make hoods from beer/soda cans. You want the 'coils' of the bulbs to face your plants, not the end. Using clamps, you can have a CFL for every major bud! Most hard-core CFL users end up with a grow box/tent with a fixture on top, then more CFLs on the sides

You size the fan for the tent, then the filter to the fan (not the filter to the tent). I am not a big fan of inline 'booster' fans. They can be loud & underperform their cfm specs. A carbon filter to match 450 cfm can be big/expensive. Assuming you may not get 450 cfm of actual performance at...

These should work - assuming your desk lamp has standard screw-in sockets. I did not see the costs of these bulbs, but I like 23W better than 13W. You should look for light temperature of ~6500K ('daylight') for vegetative growth, and ~2700K for flowering. Not sure you want to use a desk lamp...

Need more pictures! From what I see, looks good & healthy. Looks like a little too much stretch. When you have a small grow box (like me), you will benefit from tight nodes. Can you move the lights down? plants up? You can get as close as 1" with CFLs. It is possible to have an HID lamp in...

I might do the same thing. I am scrogging two plants; I may look to SOG four (4) plants. Not sure how long I would veg. I would have to do some aggressive training to manage plant height. In the end, the biggest factor for me will be yield (2 scrog vs 4 sog in a 2x3' footprint)

Good luck with your grow! It sounds possible. As you may suspect, this could end up a bare-bones grow. You may want to consider some CFLs w/beer can reflectors. This could add a lot to your grow for little cost. You may also have a challenge with the pH of your tap water. Some can be OK...
