Temps arent a problem im sittin at about 75 to 80. I have been waiting for the soil to dry out pretty good but maybe will try and wait a little longer see if that works better.

Yeah i was gonna add some more soil next water, i think i will wait on the nutes to. just wasn't sure if the slowed growth was cause of the pot size or nutes. It just seems a little short and bushy compared to some other pics i have seen at this stage, might be the strand though since i don't...

I am at day 24 of veg of some mystery bagseed that i think came from some pretty good stuff. got 8 23W CFL's around it. Have a few others just starting out but this is my first grow so just wondering how my older plant is looking to you all. Also I am using Miracle Grow potting mix for soil...

I have a few small sprouts that have been in dixie cups for about 4 days now and was just wondering how long most people let them grow before transplanting into a bigger pot.

Haha I know it was a dumb question but I wanted to make sure I couldn't burn the little thing up or anything.

Do I turn my lights on right when I see a sprout or do i let it grow a bit first. Just planted seeds and wondering when I turn lights on.

Should I water more or less than I would for a plant before it sprouts?

How long after planting the seed does it usually take to see some sprouts coming out? Just wondering. Any help would be awesome

Thanks, You think a 250 or 150 would be enough for like 3 to 5 plants only? and if I used a smaller HPS like those for flowering I could go with a CFL for vegging and I wouldnt have to worry about heat during that time right?

Nice grow, I have been looking at a few of the smaller setups but would love to be able to get the biggest hps in there I could. What about a 150w HPS in there and maybe a CFL for vegging? Still to much heat?

The room is actually pretty cold right now since it is still winter but it will be getting hot out in the next few months and thats what I am worried about. I have a window AC that I will have in the room connected to that room and could open the door during lights on for it at times. That is a...

I have a little attic room off a bedroom in my house I want to grow in and want to run a 400 w HPS/MH light but don't really have anywhere to vent the air to and I am looking for advice or if the room is big enough to not vent it anywhere. The room has slanted walls to a point but it is 8 ft...

Any idea on if anyone thinks I will be fine with that sized room and a 400w HPS/MH with out venting air out or will it be to hot?

I was thinking I was going to have to make a tent of some sort in the room to help the light out. I am only going to do about 5 plants this first time around and I have been looking at a 400 W MH and HPS so I can use it for everything. I dont really have anywhere to vent the air to so I am...

For my first grow I only plan on going for like 5 plants give or take a few in the process. I was kind of thinking that I would have to set up some kind of tent in the room cause of its size and that would help concentrate the light. I was thinking of hanging mylar blankets to create tent...
