What kind of system you running, nutes, lights, soil/soiless. Cant give advice without knowing where your at and where you can improve from.

Yeah. All we can tell you with the information given is the general, use better lights, add c02, better control environment, better nutes thing.

It sounds like you're pretty new to growing. My suggestion is to do what i did and youtube your ass off. You'll find a lot of good informational do-it-yourself videos on there. the Jorge Cervantes Ultimate Grow videos are really good. Check those out. Also once you find a setup you like you can find videos that will teach you how to make them for cheap. Good luck. bongsmilie

I would recommend reading through this RIU website and especially hit up the newbie and general forums...I have learned a lot from this site and would recommend you doing a little research before asking such a broad question.

Top your plants at the second true node. Gives a pretty looking four colas. That ought to improve yield assuming everything else is in good shape.

No, unfortunately they dont sell no sort of liquid "bud be bigger" that I know of. There are a million different fertilizers out there and they can be amazing or horrible depending on how and what you use them for. Unfortunately it sounds like your skipping the planning, building, and growing stage and trying to jump straight to huge buds and its not that simple. read this site up and down, you tube grow videos, and figure out your starting point. From there we can help you set up a indoor grow that will make you happy, but without a base point to work from we cant increase your yields since we cant recommend anything but the standard light, nutes, CO2. If you can say what system your working with, what lights, what your set-up is we can give you pointers based on what has worked for us. Asking how to make bigger buds when you dont have indoor seedlings yet is putting the carriage way out front of the horse and that cant get ya anywhere. Not trying to be a dick just trying to explain that we cant help you, unless you let us know where to start.

As for cheaper, this is my personal advice...I tried the cheaper method and eventually realized I was getting nowhere. Skimping on lights, trying to save a buck here or there by using inferior things or building my own set-ups ended up costing me more money and way more time than had I just went and bought the right stuff at first. Money sucks all around these days but just remember that you only get out as much as you put in. If you want a high times centerfold in your closet your going to have to spoil the plants and take care of them like kids. It costs a little more up front but if you invest in it, you'll long surpass your spending with the savings on buying low grade smoke while smoking some amazing stuff you can call your own...

I'd reccomend soil since its much more forgiving especially for a first time indoor grower. (2) 70w HPS will work but it depends on what size area your working with as well as how many plants you want to grow. If you don't have the 70w HPS yet and were intending on buying them I would suggest going with a 250w since you can find them for roughly the same price as the 2 70's on ebay. That is of course if your system can handle the extra heat which is not that much more. As for soil and nutes fox farm has a great lineup but other than them I cant recommend anyone since I haven't used anything else aside from that and miracle grow which is never recommended for the most part.

It depends on your usage, if you use CFL's or T-5's (recommended) its only a few bucks a month for 24/7 light to veg them. With a 250w HPS expect maybe about $10-15 on 12/12 a month but it differs based on your electricity costs. Some companies have off peak cheaper hours if you can work your grow around that it will save you a substantial amount of money. You can offset your grow by using CFL's around the house, not keeping all the lights on all the time and saving pennies elsewhere on electric. A small HPS system wont really hit your bill for much considering most TV's now a days use more electricity than a 250w system.

as for nutes,i use the fox farm trio,but the one thing i suggest you do is get yield outta your head and focus on plant health because if your plant is healthy she's gonna give you whats she's supposed to for that amount of wattage

i dont know they made a 70w hps sounds small might jump to cfl's to avoid the heat if you are really worried about electrical use. or i would go 1 400 hps prob get way more lum than the combo. foxfarms is ok they do not make their powders but scab it out so nothing great just buy stuff that has the npk numbers you want to hit high np's then high pk's ie 6-2-1 then switch to 1-2-6 doesnt really matter what company you give your money to as long as the numbers make your plant happy.

t-5s are not worth the price tag i think get t-8s if you want the most lumen for your buck in a regular fl.you can get plain ol t-12s from ace hardware for 15 bucks plus bulbs 4 bucks. for the money they are better with the same par but t-8s put out much more par lumen...or so "they" say. 150s are ok but youll get crappy 4's feet size doesnt really matter its all about bud sites and promotion of those sites. you could have a 2 foot high but 4 foot square plant that rocks a 4 foot 2x2 plant. you can get 42 watt cfl from target for like 5 bucks that rock weight. you will just have to build a adjustable setup like in seemorebuds book to make it really rock weight for you and it takes daily adjustments.but well worth it especially the low electrical consumption
