    my current set up, with CFLs.

    Yo, thanks for the advice. I'll look into the fan, and also more lighting at some point. Transplantation and nutes was going to be my next question. I'm giving some light nutes, something like, nitrogen 3.8%, phosphorous 6.0%, and potasium, 2.2 %, while there basically nearly seedlings. I...

    my current set up, with CFLs.

    I put lights up close to the plants, but can they burn? Its pretty cold, so the temps should be no more than 24 or 25 degrees max for humidity, I spray them. Please let me know thoughts. This is really at the beginning stages here...

    Newbie question; Growing on closed terrace.

    about the building, yeah its more than 100 years old, so the electrical wiring is pretty weak. The wattage of my lamp is 400wtts I believe. If I have the oven and the lamp on at the same time, it could blow the power....possibly

    Newbie question; Growing on closed terrace.

    Bozo, these are photos of my indoor set up. I think it might be dangerous, but at the moment, I couldn't hang the light from anything else. My entire apartment is made out of wood. As a precaution I put the balast in a Glass tray that can withstand oven temperatures, but maybe thats...

    Newbie question; Growing on closed terrace.

    Hey Bozo. Well, just for the moment. Reason I'm giving up, is that I'm just really worried about explosions, fires, etc. Not too mention, if the light is on, I won't practically be able to do anything at home like, take a shower, cook food, etc, because all the power would go out. But I...

    HID lighting, are they safe?

    Another thing about the balast, is there is no obvious on and off switch, so I guess its just a question of plugging it in or taking it out???

    HID lighting, are they safe?

    Thank you all very much!!! I really appreciate it! A quick question; How do GROW Led's compare to HID lighting. I think its a good balast and light. Costed 90 Euros! for the whole kit. Not sure I can return after opening. I would prefer to go for the safe option of LED, if that actually...

    HID lighting, are they safe?

    Hi people, I'm new at this, as you can tell. I set aside a wooden cabinet and put some plastic sheeting around it that I got from the Grow store. I put in an HID light, that, at the moment, I cant get to work. I put the Balast in a glass tray, thats meant for cooking in an oven, to keep it...
