Thanks man, Nothing personal but ya, kinda makes the ones I've seen in veg look like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree huh? I start with Foxfarm Ocean Forest soil, great stuff. Seems to have the perfect drainage too. All the nutes you need for the first 3-4 weeks. And the stuff I would want to put in for that stage. Only give them plain distilled water. I'll post some pics of when they were young. Foxfarm nutes with some extra stuff too. I'm going to be trying some different nutes again though. Stuff I used before. There's way to much to type at one time, I'm not very fast.

With 30% amber I would chop. And yes, you should order more hps. I want to switch to a digital ballast so I can use MH or HPS in the same setup if I want. Less heat, less power and more lumens per watt. And plan to get a second one also. I'm thinking a duel 150watt for my 2x2 box and a new 400watt for my 3x3 box that I need to build soon. Waiting for these to finish to help finance my prodjects.

yea i don't think the 300 watts of HPS is covering all the 10 girls so ill put the 400 in there and leave 1 150 in there take the other 150 and combine it with the closet one and use that for the ICE

and what wattage level do i need to start worring about power bill going up too much? like 1000 or 1500... i read each 1000 is 50 bucks roughly per month

Sounds like a good plan. My 400 is to much really for the box this a little over 2x2. But I put glass in it. I'm using a double pain insulated piece in there now. some thing I took out of an old window.

I would down size your pots a little too. Should be better watering. The three pack is what I have been using and other stuff with it

It all depends on how much you pay for your electricity. It cost me maybe $15 a month to run my 400 but that does not include the extras. And why would you be worrying?

what should the final size be container wise?

I see most recommend 1 gal per finish plant height. I like to start them in small ones and transplant as I see fit. Depending on how often I have to water them. Mine were in 1 gal until I put them in 3 gal when they went into flower. They are a little over 2 feet tall now. I like the 1 gal square pots. I would have to water about every 3rd day and when I repotted they really were not to root bound. At least not as much as I thought they would be. But you have to remember the better a plant is feed the less the roots have to go out and look for food. It seems to help keep the roots smaller. That's one reason hydro is so fast. all the nutes are right there so the plant does not have to go lokking so much and can devote more energy to upper growth.
