I'm using a SCRoG for the first time, it seems like this might come in handy. Thank you good sir!

The fact that the HPS would be higher wattage and higher efficiency both point to better yields (assuming heat isn't a factor).

You're already asking the right kind of questions so I'm sure you will find success eventually. It might not be the first time, it took me 3 grows to get my first success. But once you get it the first time, it's a process that's easy to replicate. If you don't care about results/yield etc...

I have a very similar sized room and with a 400W MH/HPS system I am able to get ~4oz per plant or so at a height of 3-4'. All things being equal, I would think your system should be able to get 4oz * (225w [wattage of your system] / 400w [wattage of my system]) = 2.25oz/plant This also...

Well if you want to do an experiment, you need to have a baseline to compare it to. Have you had a successful grow? If so, with which what nutrients? If multiple nutrient lines have given you success, which one gave you the best results? In my opinion, anything you've shown to be inferior...

Week 4 Fix Problems Before They Start This week there were a couple things that caught my attention regarding my grow. The first is that my leaves were starting to droop a little bit, which is an indication of a problem. The other potential hazard I see is the abundance of insects in my grow...

Definitely a good buy and you should definitely start a journal, best way to get free advice :D

Oh, I forgot to add it's awesome that you're going for it... it takes some guts and confidence to take the plunge. I suspect there are many who will read and read without ever taking action, but you're giving it a shot. As long as you refuse to let problems stop you from learning and pressing...

I used the provided nutes on my first and 2nd grow. I didn't like them for 2 reasons: - Easy to overfeed. My 2nd grow my leaves curled up and got super green when I switched to flower because I was giving them too much Nitrogen.. had no idea. - Makes the pH go crazy. After I put the nutes in...

Week 3 Rapid Growth Incoming After feeding my plants some nutrients last week, I saw a lot more growth than the previous weeks. The 2 reasons for this are straightforward: They actually have food now Their roots are now touching the water I made sure not to overfeed earlier and now that...

Awesoome, thanks for the compliment! If you have any questions or want to know about a certain topic, just let me know... always looking to make this more valuable

Week 2 Added to Journal Discussion

Week 2 Introducing Nutrients It’s week 2 and this is the time I usually start my nutrient feeding schedule. The reason I don’t start it earlier is because it’s really easy to overfeed your plants in the early stages, so I just avoid it all together until I know the...

All great grows you're showing and it doesn't look like they use 12", you're right. They do have very powerful lights (I'm sure more powerful than my 400W) which means they give off a ton of heat and which is why they probably aren't as close. In smaller home grows though, which is what I'm...

Glad to help good sir, let me know if you have anything clarified :D

It's a good point that increasing distance may also increase the effective area of your light, but it would have to be a significantly larger area that's covered and I can't see the increased effective size outpacing the decreased effectiveness of distance. Even in your example, the gains...

Week 1 Germinating the Seeds First thing’s first, I started with feminized Bubblelicious seeds and another strain I’m not sure of and began germinating them in the beginning of July, 2012. The process is really very simple. I fill a mug (for insulation) about ½ - ¾ full with...
