just do a little reading, lots of threads on these boards to check out. its a pretty simple concept so not much to really say. I have read that framing a big square and then using screws only 1/2 way screwed in and string is a good way to build a Screen.

some ballasts can use a ceramic metal halide bulbs so depending on the ballast you can get one of them. i would just get a cheap t5, and build yourself a veg cab and use it.

all depends on your pallast, most electronic ballasts are designed to fire both HPS and MH but you can only run one bulb at a time

What kind of MG soil are you using? I've got a bag of MG Moisture Control sitting in my basement, figure why not try it. Your grow looks awesome by the way!

per plant? cuz atm i have 3 ( maybe 4 if the one i planted a couple of days ago sprouts) under a 400 watt hps, and after that i wanna have 6 fems under a 600w hps, im a newb so how much do you reckon that would get? also i was wonderin if maybe it would be better doin 4 feminised under a 600w than 6 under a 600w, cuz at first i seen it as more plants more bud, but now i understand that it might be better growing 4 big plants than 6 alright sized plants

This will be my last grow with MG.... The prob is you have no control over the nutes! So no leaching , no switching ferts. EVERYTIME I tried adding nutes my plants got burnt lol.

Yeah, 3 oz per plant would be no prob outdoors or if you veg for a really long time. From what I have read 1.5 per plant is good. Unless you gonna go SCROG , then maybe you could go 2-3. If I get 8oz of these 6 on my first grow I would be thrilled............. AND VERY VERY HIGH!:clap:
