Thank! Must have been some read - I haven't read 100 pages of anything in a single sitting for quite some time. Glad to have you along and feel free to comment/ask questions.
Ty. I really do love my DIYs and my CFLsnice DIY fixture man
Thanks. I should probably lower it a notch in which case the plants would really be surrounded by light and reflective material. Sooo lazy though and I should be repotting soon

coming into some cash next week, kinda excited. got a few plants for some raised flower beds and veggie garden. just ordered 120 grow bags ---> http://www.greenhousemegastore.com/product/grow-bags/grow-bags <----
70 bucks including shipping for 130 bags. 50x 3 gal, 30x 1gal, 20x 5 gal, 20x 7 gal and 10x10 gallon bags. ill post a review on them when i get them and try em out. but for 70 bucks for 130 pots cant go wrong (i hope)
going to hit up the dump tuesday and get some pallets and create a stepped planting stage out front and make a raised bed in the back for some of my veggies. really leaning towards doing mostly everything in containers this year for a few reasons but the biggest being i can move things around if other plants are shading them too much.
anyways ill post up some pics when i get working on all this.

Eh? I'm still flowering with my HID in the other tent - the DIY CFL fixture if just for my vegging plants.
Being able to more plants around can be nice but imo the actual growing portion is easier just in the ground - more space, more of the beneficials, better water retention and soil temps... Of course a large raised bed or just really large pots help all of these. I'm interested to hear what you think of the grow bags. I used them for one of my very initial grows and found then to be a bit of a pain but I know others that seem to use them with no problem.
If you want the best possible bud and money is no issue (thus yield being no issue) then I would advise growing organically. CO2 increases yield and helps offset high temps but I've never heard of it increasing quality and you would then need to run an AC unit as well which wouldn't really offset the difference in yield/cost.

So the quality of organically grown is better? im on 3rd week of flower but will switch next grow.also i have a mother plant that i never plan on flowering when do i put in larger pot or do i have to since never going to bloom shes in 5 gallon pot but is getting to big i think i constantly cut for clones but she grows so fast it has roots coming out of wholes on bottom of bucket

In my opinion organic tastes a bit better. You don't technically need to transplant your mother but she would always appreciate it. You could also just trim the roots - pop it out of the pot, trim off the outer 1/3 of the roots and soil and then put it back into the same pot with some fresh soil.

that's hilarious! kinda like my chickens eating my plants, thats why i got them on crates, but the big chicken has now learnt to aim from underneath and jump up and get a few leaves, stupid thing, plenty of other plants to eat
