    !~!Cheapest 150W HPS!!Too Many Options!!MUST READ!!~!!

    you are better off i think. I ilke the htg light because it has a glass lens over the bulb which helps keep the heat down a bit and just seems a lot safer than having an exposed bulb. For my HTG 250 i run between 6 and 10 plants but i'm using the sog method.

    !~!Cheapest 150W HPS!!Too Many Options!!MUST READ!!~!!

    My ghetto setup

    you can grow some real shit here, but for the next coupla weeks at least this shit is way overkill. One little cfl would be alright for the next two weeks.

    Is this lighting good???

    personally i think tubes suck. I upgraded to hid and was stunned at he improvement. I even went back and ran some "experiment grows" using several t-12 fixtures. I tried my ass off but in the end i think tubes are a waste of time and money. I picked up some 100 hps for less then 2o bucks and...

    sugar water?

    don't use sugar water, i've tried the blackstrap molasses and it seemed to help, maybe a little more crystals. Do that if you want in the flowering stage but plain sugar water will prolly just fuck your shit up.

    sea of green

    yeh , a few 250 hps i think will be great for flowering. I run a small sea of green and have seen the light on the 250 hps. Good power but still run cool. I started with a 400 mh and added a 250 hps..... i realized these two fixtures were about equivalent , at least for flowering. go hps

    garden safe 3 in 1 fungicide during flowering?

    That is the shit i use. You can buy it at Home depot and it is mainly neem oil which i think is the best thing for spider mites. As far as how late you can use it, it is hard to say, even if they say you can use it to the day before harvest they dont intend that your going to smoke that shit! I...

    EZ Grow Mushroom Kit

    Metal Halide bulbs (Mh) Grow lamp

    How many people change their bulb every grow? I think every year is good for 12/12. HPS are supposed to have a longer effective life.

    What are the highest yielding nutes

    I haven't tried every kind but I was using fox farm grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom and was real happy. I switched to ionic and real have been impressed, it's cheaper and the pot tastes better.

    What Lighting Do I need for this much space?

    You got 3 square feet of space. 4 85 watt lights would be 340 total watts. Thats over 100 watts per square foot. I would say 3 max but 4 would be too many. 50 to 80 watts per square foot is what i know.
