Assuming my ventilation is very good, what is the distance at which I should place my 150 watt HPS from the tops of my plants? +rep for smart response.

I used an 8 bulb T5 array in my last grow and they are awesome grow lights. They produce very thick healthy plants. You can also add special flowering T5s to the array, which can be bought at any good grow shop. I loved my T5 array. That one looks like a 400 watt unit just like mine.

Like mentioned earlier; light proof everything. put up a curtain or drape of some kind, then come behind it with black plastic that touches the walls bordering the windows. Do some odor control if you are venting to the outside, which it is assumed you are. A carbon filter is a must... Cops...

Love the weed porno. you did a great job! I am building my grow box with a 150watt HPS. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

OK, you want a serious response? Well I think that flowering all of them immediately is a poor decision. You need to let them establish a healthy root system before you flower them; just let them grow a bit. Secondly why would you flower all 40 of them? you could set out four of them and...

Things that increase your utility bill: Computers that run 24/7, AC unit that you keep on 70 because you want to live in a freezer, your fridge surprisingly enough, does consume juice. your 1000 watt grow light and 10 plant hydroponic system. Things that don't raise your utility bill: your...

The 400 watt light will cost a little more to run of course, simply because it uses more electricity to operate. I am using a 150watt HPS in my small grow box. If the box were larger I would get a larger light. The size of your light depends on the application. For 2 small plants an 150watt...

Its not vague... Just use your intuition about what he is asking for. CFL's will not give you dense, thick growth like an HPS light will. If they develop into thick nugs then I would say you got lucky. CFLs are not really for growing plants. the only CFL fixture I would invest in for...

Here is something else to consider: when I veg'd with a 250 watt MH I felt the growth was not exactly anything to scream about, when I went out and purchased an 8 bulb T5 array the difference was incredible. My plants just expoloded into little bushes, and they were so healthy. I kept that...

Honestly, I would rather have a switchable ballast 600 watt light. One light that has both MH and HPS is smarter in my opinion. If you vent the light and cool it with an inline fan then it should stay cool. When you run two 250 watt lights you are creating heat with two bulbs and two ballast...

For one the 1200 watt ballast. The quality of components should be reflected in the price. Higher quality stuff cost more. You could grow some real dank with just one of these dual 600watt HPS. I'd love to have one and a suitable place to use it.

Everyone starts somewhere man, I went from making 200-300 bucks a day as a painter to stocking groceries at Walmart. I'll bounce back and have real cash flow again some day... In the meantime I scrape by and try to put money back. The economy does suck now, and people have not been investing...

I assume you mean busted by your parents... If this is the case, then they are already on to you, and they will not forget that you have tried in the past. Thus any form of privacy you may want it already suspect, anything you try to conceal is also suspect. I would stop trying to grow drugs...

lol relax man, if you got something decent it should have come with a wiring diagram... Also, pictures would help anyone that wanted to help you. So, take a little pic with your camera phone and post it on this thread. Be patient and someone will contribute.

I paid $84 final cost with shipping for my 150 watt sun systems HPS unit from HTG supply. on Ebay. Ebay definately has some good deals. HTG supply carries everything you need to get started. lights, mylar, soil, etc.

I am on a very tight budget, but even a broke mofo needs his herb as you all know. I like the idea of getting soil and fert in the same bag for one low price... I know that Foxfarm makes a superior product but it is somewhat expensive also. My plan is to use the MG in my grow box which is...

Ebay my friend Ebay... You can get those lights cheaper on Ebay. I just ordered my 150 watt hps from HTG supply on ebay. Here is an example...

Those lights will work fine for vegetative growth although, if you really want good growth during veg, I would go with something higher wattage. A good alternative to those lights and having to buy another set of lights for flowering, is a 250 watt switchable balast + lamp. Sun systems makes a...

what I meant by miracle grow is the enhanced soil they sell, not the nturient solution you spray or pour. Their soils have nutrient capsules that are water soluable and break down over time, releasing nutrients throughout growth. I thought this soil may be a good substitute for having to...
