Hi all, have a noob question about my plants, hope you can help. I've posted here because I still know nothing compared to most of you! I have a grow on the go, 9 X Cheese (Amsterdam Seed Bank), in a Bud Box with 400W HPS Cool Tube, RVK Fan and Coco 'Soil' with good nutes, temps. & P.H. but my...

No it's just an old style HPS light with the ballast and ignitor etc. all in one box. I saw the cooltubes on ebay and wondered if i could disassemble the light box and as you've done, and make my own (cost is a major factor now). Is there a DIY giude on here for this? or could you give me a few...

Thanks for your quick reply, no i don't have any Flo's to start them off which i thought was going to be an issue but the HPS light was nice and cheap which is why i went for it. After coughing up for the materials/seeds/fan/filter etc. the bank balance was staring to complain. Turning out to be...

Hi folks, i'm a newbie at all this and need some advice. Due to height restrictions (the attic not me..) i've had to build a 4x4x4 white box and i've fitted a 400W HPS box and a 100mm inline fan with a carbon filter. I've also put in 2 100mm vents at the bottom with valves on them to let air in...

I'm starting the same size as you 4 x 4 but i have limited height space (only 4' again'). I've fitted a 400W HPS and am only starting 10 plants (from feminized seeds, White Widow and Mazar). I've been told that even under my height restrictions, 400W is stretching it! I've also chucked in a...

Thanks guys, i kind of knew from reading the posts that too many plants will give you mould etc. I guess i'm just being greedy! I'm going to post some pics tomorrow of the actual room. I'm mixing peat-free compost with some Perlite for the soil and i've bought some Bio-Buzz Veg and Bloom...

Cheers for the advice, what height do i need to keep the plants from the light and should i lower the lamp to start with? I've read a bit here about plants 'stetching' towards the lamp and growing thin and spindly. I'll post pics tomorrow as the family are milling around. Again any 'helpful'...

Hey folks, just wondered how many plants i could get into my new grow room. I've build a 4'x4'x4' box from Conti Board (white faced hardboard) and fitted a 100mm Ruck fan with a carbon filter to help with heat and smells. I've also chucked in a 6" fan to help with circulation. I've read that a...

Thanks for your help! I'm going to just give it a shot, hopefully i'll 'magoo' my way through it lol. As long as I know that the earth wire has to connect to the casing (usually there's a nut to clamp onto somewhere i'm told) then i've 2 wires left and it shouldn't be too hard. If anyone has...

Cheers for the link although now i'm even more confused. The parts look similar (Capacitors/Power supply etc.) but the only colour of wires in the box of mine are Black and Blue. I'm presuming one has to be live and one neutral. So i reckon i would just wire the UK Brown live wire and the Blue...

Hi folks, i'm new to this site and posted a thread in the Newbie forum but not sure if it needs to be in here. I bought an Industria Light set up off eBay but it came from Holland. I need help wiring a UK power cable into this box. The instructions and emails from the company said 'just...

Hi all, i'm completely new to this site and am very impressed with all the help on offer so hopefully there's someone here who can help with this. My problem is that i've bought a 400W HPS Industria Light box from eBay. It's a professional bit of kit and came with 2 bulbs delivered for £50 which...
