If I have an HPS w/ mogul base (and I only have cables that have a plug on one end and a NORMAL base socket at the other): How do I use the HPS? Is there a similar cable? What do I need to buy? How can I plug it in? No one has been able to answer this so far. I'm assuming I need to buy a hood...

All four leaves are drooping downwards (aren't curling in yet) so I thought it was dry (put my finger in the soil all the way down and couldn't feel wetness). so, I watered it, but now it's drooping further (watered 2 hours ago)

Well, I have a place I can get 100w and 200w with the mogul ballast built in.. but, these don't fit normal sockets. What I'm in need of is a place where the mogul can fit into. For Example, The clamp lights in my setup. I guess what I'm saying is, I need a "mogul socket" that has a cord and can...

I rearranged the lights to be closer and have the 2 2700k's in the center for even distribution. Please give me tips on this new setup.

Yep, I use two drops a gallon when planting the seed since I didn't germinate with a napkin. I use one drop now.

These babies came from top soil (no nutes/ferts). They're now transplanted in my homemade soil (4part topsoil, 1part perlite, 1part sphagnum peat moss). Top Soil NPK 0-0-0 Perlite NPK 0.04-0.01-0.06 Sphagnum Peat Moss NPK 0.05-0.02-0.04 Fert (applied to soil 5 days ago, 1 day before...

Do I need to flush? or just let it ride out? Should i keep watering it, just with plain distilled?

So, if you view my thread: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/164880-closet-cfl-first-time-grower.html You will see I updated from 5 6500k cfls to 8 6500k cfls and 2 2700k cfls (these are all 26w). I have been watering with superthrive (diluted to recommended daily usage) since I...

HPS - can't find any that plug into the wall. I'm not an electrician and I don't know much about safely splicing cables. I need an HPS socket that will plug into the wall, or an in depth explanation on how to create one haha. That's my main problem. Thanks for the tips, and, about the light...

The height of the tubes is going to make your plant stretch towards it. You'll get lanky, scrawny looking plants in the end. I know it's hard to adjust the heights of your lights, but you'll want it around 1-2 inches from the leaves. Use dental floss (regular, cheap stuff) as wire to hang them...

oops, wrong thread

Updated grow room: ( 8 ) 6500k 26w CFLs - 2 per plant ( 2 ) 2700k 26w CFLs - in the middle of all plants See pics below: Disregard all plants in corner, they are just there as backup plans

NEW SETUP with Y adapters. Couldn't find any other spectrum, so, I've got (10) 6500k 26w CFLs. [EDIT] Took me a few tries, but the 3rd picture is the properly aligned/spaced bulbs.

Well, the problem is, I don't know anything about electricity. I would have no problem buying a MH or HPS for veg and just use that, but, I can't figure that out cause I need lights with cords, thats why i went with the CFLs cause i can buy those dome/clip/cord combos in the pictures. I'm...

didnt get any answers in the grow room forum so, due to not wanting the plants to die, I posted here https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/164880-closet-cfl-first-time-grower.html also, green stems and purple stems, i have both, what's the deal?

I didn't know what thread this belonged in, so I put it in the grow room section. Here is the link: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/164880-closet-cfl-first-time-grower.html Thanks in advance!

PS: I've got 4 plants potted and each have 1 26w 6500k CFL 2 inches above. I also have around 10 "cup" plants in the corner (my "backup" plants) under 1 26w 6500k CFL 2 inches above. Should I ditch all the cup plants and just keep the potted ones?

So, this is my first grow, I'm only growing for myself for personal use, but mainly am doing it for the fun (wanna see if it'll grow!) Germination: (1) Cool white 40w fluoro tube, (1) Warm white 40w fluoro tube - both 1" off of soil. Seeds sprouted but I left tubes in because I didn't know...
