I plan on getting the Primo TDS tester from HTGSupply, it may not be top of the line but it's suitable for what I need now. I'm going to have to get a thermo/hygro meter sometime shortly. I'll have to take a look around and research a bit. **Updated Pics**

*Update* Got the 250watt lumatek hps. The bulbs are in the mail now. Recieved my digital ph tester. Light-proofed the dwc buckets. Getting close to that time, just need to get the last few things on my list before I start my 2nd grow. 1. tds tester 2. ph up&down 3. fabricate a reflector 4...

For anyone who is new to growing or looking to start growing, this is the ultimate guide for you. Covers every topic of growing from start to finish. I can't tell you how many times I have used this book to look up something. Really comes in handy...

Soil grows maintain a ph near 6.5 and hydro grows are at 5.8

It depends on what stage of growth your in. During veg your going to want the humidity around 60% while in flowering you want a humidity of 40%. These are just rough estimates and actual numbers can differ but not by too much.

I know, right. My last journal didn't get very far. Mostly because I didn't have a camera at the time, but now I do so I'll update frequently.

Okay, it's official. 250 HPS + CFLs Thank you everyone for the input. I'll keep posted on the progress with the build and eventually start a grow journal.

Didn't know if anyone else knew about these, they're 120mm computer fans that put out 210CFM (equivalent to a 4" inline fan that retails for more than 100) and uses 2.7amps of 12v current. Just need an AC/DC adapter with at least 3 amps. Here's the fan...

I'm starting to lean towards the 250 watt hps w/cfl's. Better decide soon figuring I'm ordering the rest of the supplies Friday.

Who thinks a 250 Watt HPS with the addition of a few CFL's sounds better than a single 400 Watt HPS?

I figured a 400 watt hps puts out 55,000 lumens, so a 2'2 floor space makes 4 total square feet. Plants in flowering need roughly 10,000 lumens/sq ft so a 400 watt should be perfect if not a little excessive. I already have 2 intake and 2 exhaust fans with filter rated @ 110cfm. I want to either...

Yea, DWC setup with four 2 gallon buckets. I plan on making a scrog and using tie downs to control the plants growth.

Anyone with suggestions/advice?

Posting up my setup. Have a few questions. Here's what I have so far. 2'x2'x3'6" grow box light proof intake and exhaust setup dwc buckets - (4) 2 Gal buckets, 5" net pots, 6" airstone, dual outlet air pump humboldt nutrients - grow micro bloom seed starter plugs bubblicious autoflowering...

Okay, thanks for the advice.

I was wondering if anyone has ever used a compact fluorescent in a home made cool tube. I'm coming towards the end of my first grow and I want to create a new grow room. At the moment I have a 4x4x6 with 8 compact fluorescents totaling 306watts, but I don't have any sort of reflection on the...

I was thinking for week 6 and 7 using my flowering formula, week 8 and 9 using water and molasses, and week 10 distilled water.

Damnn, haha. Well the funny thing is if I wait 5 weeks from now the harvest day would be fall on my birthday.

Hell, I hope I get .7gpw. But it's hard to say, she was vegging for a month if not two. She was an outdoor plant but I moved her inside to flower.

It's definitely dominant on the sativa side. Long thin leaves, pretty tall (2'6), and more dispersed growth.
