What size hps u running smokey? 600watt no doubt? i have a very small house and only have a wardrobe to grow in with no exhaust, the 250watt hps is crap and the same as cfl's, thats why i went led and i am hoping with the coco and proper nutes to see the same results as at least a 400watt hps or better

Kang if you want better yields I suggest going to dwc next grow, it's the easiest hydro system, just a bucket and an air pump, and as long as you check your water is ok once a day you will yield huge and have the quickest grow possible. I am doing my next one with a 400w hps and I know I can pull 10oz off one plant with not a whole lot of veg time.

I was thinking about that and i know its a good job but i dont think i am ready for hydro just yet, coco is my stepping stone we will see after that, i only know ph i dont even know what ppm ect is lol

smokey i have a fan in the wardrobe but no exhaust the air just circulates and anything more that the two blackstar240's leds or a 250w hps is too hot

Oh and iamaaror have you used canna boost? i was gonna add some tonight but the label is in french and cant make out how much to give them for first time getting boost. and can i add bloom nutes to the mix aswell ok?

Just add the nutes and check ph everday, refill as the plant drinks the water. Thats it.
