What is the benefit of vegging with 1000 watts HPS or MH as opposed to using many T5 Bulbs?
id say mh and t5's are best for vegg and hps for 12/12. but you could always use both, like logan said.
how many plants would you get under them t5's.

Lumen output. I'd go with the T5's because of the lower cost and they still kick out a large amount of lumens for their size. Similar to my penis.

Yo Logan, I hope I did not kick you in the balls with my advice to Trent..Like Abud says, there are many ways....I just have first hand knowledge on using the ezcloner, and thought to share my ways of cloning. You keep doing what you are doing, and that is trying to help out a bro..
I don't have a separate light for my clones, I just put the box off to the side in the veg room, and that works just fine. I would not suggest trying to veg the clones for very long in the box, the roots become "ropey" and will stay that way until harvest. I try to get them out of the box asap, and let them grow in the medium you will be using for you grow. I just happened to fill my 60 site up today, and they looking snappy!

Hey daddychrisg,

No worries bro, I take everything with a grain of salt. Like I said, I was just tring to see if there is a better way to do it, faster way.

How long does it take for your clones to root? And how big do you cut the cuttings? I had thought about getting a cloner but I just didn't want to shell out $200/$300. I will prob. make one.

Hey trent. how are things today?

Some say the mh is supposed to cause tighter distance between nodes and make a bushier plant. the t5's are good as well, but I've never used them so I can't really comment on there productiveness. Imo you will not have enough light using that t5 for a short veg. on 60+ plants you can how ever use it for clones if it will cover all of them and then go straight to flower, or then move to a veg room with mh bulbs or just get another t5 and have 2 for clones and a short veg before flowering...Jmac

Hey everyone sorry Ive been MIA today. You wont belive what I am working on. So the garage setup is now going to have 6 1000 watt hps lights over 60 plants. That's right, I went out and bought 2 more HPS 1000 watt lights today. They will be installed tomorrow. I better get 6Lbs now. I will take pics tomorrow too. I also got the clone room set up and cut 60 clones. They are in the easy cloner now and they look dead but I guess thats normal and they pick up in about 1 day my friend said. Get ready too see some awesome pics. For all my 60 clones I only cut off of the sour diesel. Where I am at I hear that it is desireable and hard to find. I could of cut cuttings off of the grand daddy purple but I can get purple any day of the year.

Haha. Sweet. But considering your electricity bill last month? Are you sure this is a good idea? Unless i have missed something and you have started flowering?!

wow did you get a bank loan before you started to grow.
hope you make it back.
btw very nice set up, carnt wait to see the final results, you will prop. stink the street out, i have 20 plants, and they stink, god knows what 60 smells like.
esp. later on in your grow.
just a thought, when you have room, after you harvest,next time.
why dont you grow 4 lots of 15,
so you could harvest just 15 every 2 weeks, keep the line going, so to speak.
anyway i think what ever you do it will be great, keep up the good work, hope to see some more pics later.

Yeah I would definitely stagger my harvest so I'm not sitting on weight for months at a time. Quicker turn around for $$ too in my experience.

if you had 6 lbs of some stinky weed like that for sale where im from i say you could get anywhere from 4000 to 5000 a pound!!!!that would make you a rich man!!especially if you sold it in eights and quarters. So let me get this straight where you live somewhere in cali its legal to grow bud?

Dude I don't think you need that much light, Maybe you should put a tent or shroud around the 60 plant set-up so that your plants can absorb all of the light. Just an idea.

If you do use the other lights maybe you should add more plants.
Hope it works for you.

Really 6000 watts, thats not over kill?

Shit man it sounds like so much power/light.


All well its not my light bill.:mrgreen:

Ok so not to be negitive, but going from a $800+ bill to a $1200+ is not going to suspitcions'. :confused:



Still one of the most exciting reads. Can't wait to see the final result.

his bill was 800 when he was on 24/0. he's on 12/12 now so it should only be 400 plus 2 more bumps it to 600. it's about 100 for every 1000 watts of 12/12 here.
