    A change of plans, need some questions answered

    Ok, so recently shit hit the fan for me and I can no longer set up a room at my place. Roommate issues, they suck. Now I'm left with six-months of in-depth research wasted and countless hours planning totally torn down. Oh well, I new this was a possibility, and my own grow will be on hold...

    1k ScrOG vs SOG

    Finally I've gotten the funds together for a place and a friend and I want to start a medical grow. We have decided on 1000W HPS in what will most likely be a 3'x4'x7' closet grow. Legally we are allowed 12 plants. My question was this: I have been debating between scrog and sog. I have been...

    SCROG questions

    What is the optimum square footage/plant in a SCROG setup? I'm moving soon, and I am trying to plan a garden for my closet, I want to grow 4-8 plants for me and another MMJ patient. And what size HPS should I use? I was thinking 2x 250W, but I possibly could upgrade to either 3x 250W or 2x 400W.

    250W HPS for $130---worth it?

    http://www.hidhut.com/catalog/250w-hps-digital-ballast-bulb-and-economy-reflector-combo-p-412.html Is this a good price? It's a remote ballast and it comes with the reflector and bulb. Anyone dealt with them? They seem legit, and they have pretty damn good prices. Just got a job, so my...

    4 gallon rubbermaid -- is it big enough?

    I have a 4-gallon tub that I picked up for cheap that fits perfectly in my cab. I was thinking of converting it into a DWC res. I was wondering, however, if it was large enough. It is going to hold 2 plants, and it is 7" deep. Is this large enough to do a DWC, or would I be wasting my time?

    Possible to hook up too many lights up?

    I was thinking of stringing together 328 watts of CFLs. 12x23W and 2x26W, is it safe to hook these up in a single circuit, wiring the lights in parallel? I know a decent amount about electrical work, but not enough to have confidence that it will be safe. What is the upper limit of wattage...
