    SOG Question

    For an SOG organic grow of Northern Lights, how many plants per square foot should I flower? And what size plastic pots should I use? I assume that in organic grows, using a rockwool starter cube is OK. Is this correct? Thanks for your help.

    Please Help - Grow Room Design and Light Choices

    I'm preparing a grow room that I'd like to divide in half. The bottom half would be for mothers and clones with florescent lighting (T5's). The top half would be for vegging/flowering with HID lighting (MH for vegging, and HPS for flowering). OK, so the room is 3.5' x 3.5' x 8'. Cutting it...

    Regular MH or Super MH (blue enhanced)?

    I'm trying to pick an MH bulb for vegging. So should I pick regular MH or Super MH (blue enhanced)? What is the value of the added blue spectrum for MH vegging? I'm a new grower, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the main purpose of the enhanced blue spectrum was to enable HPS bulbs...

    Help With Ebb & Flow Flood (Grow) Tray

    For an "Ebb & Flow" flood tray, I'm looking at a 3'x3' American Hydroponics heavy duty white flood (grow) tray. However, it's only 4 inches deep. Is that deep enough for "Ebb & Flow" flooding? I plan to use it for SOG grows where the height of the plants will NOT exceed 3 feet.

    I have a 4-foot single-bulb florescent fixture, and a T5 high output florescent bulb (54 watts). Is this the right bulb for growing seedlings and cuttings (pre-vegetative phase)? Is just one of these lights sufficient for 25 small plants (again, pre-vegetative phase)?
