dirt for now. i am not familiar with hydro, just went with dirt cause i went path of least resistance lol. I just picked up a book and i am going to return it and get the buds for less book. and I am going to go CFL all the way on 2 or 3 max plants. I am not comfortable with the 400w MHs, and I...

The room isnt air conditioned. but it is in the basement so it stays decently cool (monitoring with the CFLs i got is reading 75 max)

Cool. I saw them mentioned often anyways. Do you think I could get away with just a fan? Also...what about when it comes to using a timer? I thought I read you need some sort of adapter 'contact' or something. Regards

Yes sir, I already did. I already mentioned that the stretching probably happened because I grew them outside for the first week. Cheers!

Yeah I hear you man. The 400 would be beast. I looked at the 400 after I posted last time, and saw it was about the same price, so 400 for sure. Are there any reviews about that particular unit? And where can I read more about what using that sort of system would require. (wiring/setup/exhaust...

http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=48631 What do you all think of that? I think this kit could really be 'it' for my purposes. Cheers!

Do you think I could get by with a 250? max at a time should be 3 plants. And ill still have the CFLs for side lighting or for starting seedlings into VEG

I hear you! I think the original stretchiness stems (pun intended) from leaving them out in the sun. They were certainly reaching for light. I have since lowered the fixture so each light is within 1"-2". I am also now looking into more powerful lights (400w MH..but that could be overkill?)...

Id like to ask that there will be no more hijacking of this thread (my journal!). Politely of course! Anyways: Day 8: today I picked a space to grow in. It is the shower in my unfinished basement. I bought 3, 2 packs of 27 watt fluros (5600k) and I use 6 clamp style fixtures (had around the...

Here are some photos of the current set up. Thoughts/suggestions? I am going to get a white plastic tarp to hang around the room. I will also put an oscillating fan in tomorrow. Currently the lights range from 1"-2" from the plants. I will check on them tomorrow. Cheers

Hey guys, I went out today and picked up 6 30w 5600k lights. I used 6 of those clamp style with the bowl reflectors and hung them over each plant. (already had a ton of those clamp styles). I am going to try to make due for now, but I am planning to buy a serious light to get down there (and...

hey guys, I currently have 6 seedlings that have been in sunlight for the past (first) week of their existence. I want to move them into my closet for security (nosy neighbors) reasons. The closet is about 4.5' wide x 2' deep x 7' high. I was wondering how can I build a CFL set up? I would...

New update: Transplanted my 6 seedlings into their own pots. Used more scotts potting soil. I am looking around now into getting a fluorescent tube lighting fixture (2 tubes) to use for my grow inside. I am thinking of getting a 48". Comments/suggestions welcome!!!:hump: Pics from today are...

Currently it is in some scotts potting soil. I use the soil with some tomatoes I am growing, so I just used some of it in that little container.

Good info! I am going out now to get some stuff for dinner, I will pick up a fluorescent light, and the cups. I will do the transplant tonight. I am going to keep this thread as a journal/update with pics etc. Cheers mate!

I hear you man. And yes I meant those beer pong cups. Should I transplant all of them (even the smaller ones in the pic) into their own? How long should I keep them in the cup for? And regarding watering, how should I be doing this? How much water per plant/what frequency(every other...

I deff want to move this all inside at some point (but I read starting a small grow outside can be good for immunities etc). As i said, these things were planted 7 days ago. So at this stage I will transplant them into their own dixie cups. And get them underneath a fluorescent tube light that...

Hey, I am diving head first into the world of growing. I got my seeds from a bag of dro, germinated them in a moist paper towel under sunlight for a few days and eventually got about 6 to the point of being ready to be planted. I then planted them in a small container. I have been putting...
