Lol Guru of growing, no way lol.... but thank you Mind :bigjoint: lol.

As far as LST my plants were pre-trained LST before I put the screen up for SCRoG. I think LST and SCRoG are both VERY productive grow styles for raising yield, especially in small grow spaces.

LST is (to me anyway) more of a pain in the ass than SCRoG, because with LST there's constant adjusting.... think CFL's vs. HPS as an analogy. I use LST as a pre-trainer because, well honestly dealing with that crap for 2 weeks or so isn't too bad and it works lol.

Hope this helps you out Mind, you thinking of going LST or SCRoG?

Ps: "If the devil is 5 and man is 6, then that must make me 7 this honkey's gone to heaven." Lol.

Pss: Did you ever notice that under the Riu guy up top, underneath him it says Marijunana instead of Marijuana? Lol.

Yeah no problem Mind, I like SCRoG, I used the screen from an old dog gate I had. It's less hassle honestly, and with hydro you're growth is insane in comparison to mine (Soil) so you'll probably be good to just throw a screen up and not really pre-train as much as I do.

Can't wait for the fogponics and to see tje results you get from it, also can't wait for that WB update. Updates are always exciting when the plants is in bloom.

What would be sufficient ventalation for a 250 hps? Cfm wise
What size space do you have.I am using a 500cfm one right now,but had a 197cfm before and it worked fine.,But i would say something 200 or more would be better.I am just into overkill.,hope this helps a little.

Nice Mind that WB is looking nice, really nice. They're swelling up more and more each time you post, damn I can't wait until you harvest dude. Those roots are looking really clean and good too, nice and white and everything, if anyone's a Guru grower it is you my friend lol.

So did the kid kick your ass at g-golf again or something else?

Yes you can do a Sativa under a 250, with SCRoG technique even better.

Just watch your heat and height and you'll be fine.

Dehumidifier maybe? I mean 40% is fine but if you want it lower. Hmmm maybe I'll research some stuff and see what I can think of for DIY.

I don't know too much about hydro lol, but I'll take a shot.... 1375 is ppm right? Also the res temp should be at around 68 because that's ideal for healthy roots and healthy roots equals great plants? 5.8 is ideal for hydro because it allows the plants to absorb the nutes properly through a watered system?

I'm just trying to learn lol, and I learn by reading up so.... yeah.

Please correct me if I'm wrong or am missing something, so I can learn from it.
