Most people swear by HPS for flower, MH for veg or CFL but I think that the best is to use a combination of HPS and CFL. This answer will vary greatly depending on the individual though. I am using a 250w HPS right now, this is my first grow and Im just about 10 days in, so I am in no way...

I have a fan going on them now and I usually only water during the lights off period. I checked them last night before turning the light back on and the fan had dried all of the droplets. I am going to have a problem with ventilating this space. It is an apartment, first and foremost so I...

All of the following pics are of the same plant. It is bag seed, and it sprouted on 10/12/09 which would put it at 9 days old. It spent the first 5 days of its life under 2 100w equivalent CFL bulbs.

Hey Tom, I just got done reading your 250w journal and I must say that purple beast you had was a thing of absolute beauty. I am a bit biased when it comes to pot, I see beauty in it because of the properties it has, but that plant would rival even the most beautiful of orchids or roses.

Thanks Claptoman....Im glad you and tom found my thread, I really appreciate both of your inputs.

Hmm...Yeah, i think you are right about this one. I didnt mist the leaves, but I do not usually pay attention to droplets on the leaves. I will from now on though.... thanks tom.

A few of the leaves had taken on a slight discoloration when I arrived home today. Just as a guess, I would say it is because a lack of water or humidity. At least thats what I hope it is. My humidity levels drop to the 30's if I do not leave my humidifier on. I also have two more sprouts...

A couple more pics.

Here are some pics in a more forgiving light. The HPS is not very good for color. The sprouts are 2 days old, the others are 7 to 8 days old.

3 new sprouts today. All of my original plants are doing well. They are getting larger.

the light is too long to rotate 90 unfortunately. Do you think I should rotate it 180 degrees? No venting so far. Temps have been around 84 degrees. Humidity has been dropping though so I put my humidifier in the closet earlier. I put holes in my cups and a little extra perlite too. I...

The Light has arrived and I have been working all morning to get everything situated. This light is a lot heavier than I had anticipated but I believe I have the weight distributed evenly enough. I also installed an extra brace under the closet shelf to make sure it could hold the weight. I...

Its 27 inches long on the right side from the opening and the closet is 21 inches deep. Unfortunately there was a slight miscommunication with UPS and my light has been delayed. Its looking like it will be Saturday morning before I can get everything assembled. I have plans tommorow...

As you can see in these pictures I have a mortal enemy which tries to thwart me at every opportunity. I must be extra vigilant to make sure that this beast does not destroy my precious work.

10/14/09 I planted 9 new seeds this evening, well 11 actually. I decided to try planting directly in the soil this time, no germination, no soaking seeds. I just dropped the seed in, covered and watered. Im not exactly sure how many plants I can cover with my light, or how many will even...

If you are unsure then it would seem wise to give it some time and not rush into anything. I would prefer you did not post pics in this thread, but if you start a thread you can post a link here and I will be glad to help if I can.

I have labeled my cups: A, B, C and D. I had originally planned to name them, but felt that this would be an error and premature considering that the sex of the plants has yet to be determined. I plan on tracking each one throughout the life cycle to determine, after experimentation, what...

My fourth and final cup sprouted while I was sleeping last night. I now have sprouts in all four of my original plantings. I will probably start another four or or five plants just to increase my chances of getting at least four females. I doubt that I will enough room for more than four, but...

A third sprout has appeared today once again while I was away at work. My first sprout is doing a little better now and has stood up a bit and spread its wings. Only one cup remains without a sprout and hopefully it will come up soon. I am thinking about starting a new batch of seeds soon and...

Thanks man, hopefully all will go well for us both. :joint:
