    New seeds coming!

    I have 2 auto cash crop seeds about 2 weeks sprouted. I am hoping everything is dialed in and they grow nice. Good luck and let us know about the Cropical strain. I think I am gonna try that one.

    New room...cant decide what led to use

    I was looking at those, Awesome lights but yea...the price is nuts, lol. Spectrum King did say they are going to do a side by side with BML, should actually be starting soon. I like the thought of full spectrum white light. I do have the ceiling height for hps...sorta..7'6. Im not looking for...

    New room...cant decide what led to use

    That is not the light I was talking about. This is.. http://www.spectrumkingled.com/our-grow-lights/ I am not worried about its coverage footprint, I am more worried about its penetration. The HPS light he had 30 inches over the plants was the double edge gravita and thats what they told him...

    Note: 3 inches of Perilite on top of the soil helps to prevent Gnats, but will grow mushrooms out of it, lol.

    They set the double ended Gravita at what they recommend, but the normal HPS they set up properly.

    New room...cant decide what led to use

    My flowering space is vastly bigger and yes, my veg room is 55sq ft. Im not worried about how many lights I need, but the type. The reason for different sized lights is to test penetration. I have seen leds have great tops, but not much else below 6-8 inches from the top. The spectrum king...

    New room...cant decide what led to use

    I have a budget and know what Ill need for coverage, when I finally figure out what light I want. It was easier to name my kids, lol.

    New room...cant decide what led to use

    That is my veg room, lol. I only have 4 plants, autos to boot...I started 4 more last week and will start 4 more in 2 weeks. These are all test runs....once I am satisfied with soil, room conditions and how lights work in small scale with autos I can then buy with confidence for other projects...

    New room...cant decide what led to use

    My room is 11x5x7...I have everything set up and running but adding new lights. What do the masses recommend??? 1 Mars II 400W, 1 Mars II 900w and 1 Mars II 1200w or 1 Spectrum King 450+ (440w actual use). Cost about $200 more for the spec. king light, but seem so much better overall. I know...

    I had them closer but thought they were to close and I went to 18 inches...maybe ill drop them to 10 and see if that helps.

    My first hydro grow

    I didnt even think of that...I can totally pull that same thing off and eliminate the extra outside vent. Thanks for the idea, lol.

    My first hydro grow

    From what I have read, you dont want the vent fan on a timer. it should be running all the time to vent not only heat, but the gases released by the plant and to draw fresh air over the leaves. I use a passive intake from my basement and vent it outside next to the drier vent. I can feel the...

    1st Indoor/Auto Grow Journal

    Yes these are Autos...the only stretching is the very tall one and the one that started stunted, the new growth stretched past the sick leaves and has settled. It is strange since all the lights were at the same height and plants rotated through. Hence me thinking it might be a Sativa dominate...

    Researching new lights and found this...

    I looked into Plasma, but damn are they expensive. They do however have true full spetrum, which is a plus. Something most LEDS cant really do, but some claim to and these BML ones seem to. As for HPS, I think in 10-15 years they will be obsolete to growers because of technology driven...

    Here are a few of the yellowing leaves..first 4 pics are on the tall Sativa. Even yellowing, she is starting to flower nicely. Last 3 are on the one that I was worried about in my first post, she has started to recover though. I have noticed the soil in that pot does not drain as well as the...

    Well here I am 5 weeks in and here are some new pics...I took soil samples and was about 5.8 ph in all 4 pots. I added some Lime and Iron a few days ago with no real changes at all, except soil is about 6.8 now. Leaves that were yellowing 2 weeks ago are still yellow, one plant took off (was an...
