How's it going "A"

[peacock]

I'm new to forums and looking forward to all the knowledge on growing my favorite herb. Have enjoyed smoking since I was 16. Got me through college and university and a 30+ year career.

I enjoy sitting listening to the Blues.
Also, enjoy watching African Cichlids (Tropical fish). Any ideas on using the fish water when I do water changes.

I also have a culture of american red wigglers. Are the casings good for a mix?

I have a 400 MH, and thinking of using CFL's. I have read 42 watt cfl are good. Would a 250 watt CFL be better. I have a line on both the veg. 250 watt cfl and the flowering 250 watt cfl. What is the area of lighting for a 250 watt bulb? I need a place to start. I have been using T8 and T5 lighting for my aquariums, are they both good for starting and growing. I'm starting with seeds. The strain(s) that I have choosen are 420 and RX. Are they easy plants to grow.
I have just been reading "Buds for Less" by SeeMoreBuds. He suggests the 42 watt proceedure.

Is it a good idea to have both the aquarium(s) in the same area.

I have many questions.

Can sit here for hours learning and sharing.

Grow and help the world grow too.

The 400 mh is great for vegging- it's what I use. I'm also using it for flower, but I don't think my buds are as dense as they could be. I'm going with a switchable HPS on my next grow- cost is about $100.00. Plenty of folks say worm casings are great, but I've never tried them myself. Where are my manners, Welcome aboard and good luck!
