Cool, I didn't even notice that on their site. Also, I purchased the 400W a week or so back from HTG based on your recommendation and my plants are loving it. :mrgreen:

What is a good site to buy a grow light timer? There aren't any wal marts around here. I left the light off this morning for my plants by accident and the plants were droopy by the time I got home :? .

You want to make a growroom but you can't afford a keyboard?

That's solid :mrgreen: I'm thinking about picking up the $120 400HPS, spend a little more and be done with it, a little investment for a lot more return doesn't hurt does it? :hump: Anywho, did you use the fox farm nutes? And what kind of soil did you use? Sorry for all the questions, just...

Where did you pick em up & how much has it set you back thus far? How have you rigged them? Homemade ballasts, etc or just sockets? I was thinking about doing CFL instead of HPS since HPS = higher electric bill + more heat. (Might have asked you these questions before, not sure)

Looking quite nice! For the first pic, what sort of lighting are you using?

Looking solid. How many lights per plant are you using? Adding more for flowering?

That's basically the plan, but I'm guessing there's no point to having it since I need "new air" and this would basically recirculate "stale" air? Anywho, I'm going to purchase the 400W with the hood that comes standard

Looks solid, but I simply can't modify this property at all :? Would co2 alone be enough or is that absolutely out of the question?

Use mylar instead. It's basically the back of shiny gift wrap and can be found at .99 cent stores.

Yup, renting. Should I just crack the door open a tiny bit 24/7? A proper exhaust/intake isn't really viable given my situation :cry:

See, thing is, this grow will be in a (closed) closet, and I cant make any holes in the doors or anything like that. :neutral:

So the lighting I'm about to order doesn't have any ports for ventilation, so I have a little question ... Would it be a good idea to buy, say, 3 small fans, and rig up something ghetto like this or just to have a couple fans moving air in there with some co2?

Looks awesome. Out of curiousity, are you growing in a sealed area? If you are, how do you vent air in and out, other than the fans circulating? Are you using any CO2?

Isn't 600W a bit overboard? Wouldn't getting, say, a 250W + supplemental lighting for a low-profile grow be more efficient?

Looking good man. Can you recap on the types of lights you used? Just the 400W MH/HPS?

Oh crap. That's dirt cheap. 55k lumens, damn. Thanks :mrgreen: Another little question, how do I calculate how much this would cost me per mo. on electric? Is there a formula or something? My closet is 5 feet wide & 2 ft. deep. I plan to grow 4 or 5 at a time

That makes sense. How much would I expect to pay for a 400W lamp? I'm looking at a 250W MH for $160 (22k lumens). Would that be sufficient for a medium-sized closet?

I'm researching techniques about growing, and I think lighting will be a large issue for me, mainly because of my budget. I was thinking about having a 400W HPS for vegging, along with supplemental full spectrum CFLs for flowering. HPS grow light kits go for $180+ for the 400W set up, I was...

I was thinking of using this: Hydroponics Growing Systems Explained One by One method. Seems promising in that it's pretty simple. Another question: if i let the original seed germinate in soil and get some roots, then transplant, how long should I make sure the roots are so that they receive...
