Thanks for the reply. I'm just gonna grow the plants under the 600wattter HPS in good soil. I have over ten now under a cfl, its not enough i know, so I'm just gonna use that in conjuction with the HPS. I will post pics later. How fast can you grow a plant/s under llight in soil...28days?

There's not really a answer to that question without more specifics. There are thousands of different growers with different strains and different setups.

Hey, I actually posted a thread on this, but since I can ask questions here, i thought i post it here also. If you can help that would be nice.

I was wondering if someone could walk me through this Setup design, It looks Very Nice and decent for my Apartment spacing.
The only thing is I want it to be alittle bit bigger, to hold an 600 watt hps system, or Even a 1000 watt system. I am just alittle confused on his wording instruction, and Will need somebody to help me through building this Setup design step by step. I can also take pictures, too, so It can make it easier. BUT I REALLY NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME DESIGN THIS ASAP. If you could do that, It would be greatly appreciated. I need someone with some Building experience, Because this will be my first time building something.

Well to get a plant to finish budding and not be over 15" tall would mean you would have to put it into 12-12 at like 5-8" and then ya would have to keep in about a quart of soil so the roots don't get to big, and that would in turn hurt yield. In the end you would get about 1/4 ounce probably. But its also strain, light, and nutrient dependent. There is a lot of work to be done to have quality cannabis plants with good yield. I dont know if you are taking about a regular 60 watt incandecent bulb? cause those arent even for growing. CFL's can be used but ya need more than a 35 watt bulb. Again the flowering period is anywhere from 7-14 weeks depending on strain.

i have a 1000W HPS with a 200cfm 4" fan. It stays cool to the touch with the glass cover on. I think it would work really well if you run it continually.

Well it is good to see that you want to start a grow correctly and with a nice setup. Now since ya have a diagram of basically what ya want its a start. Now I don't know how much help I can convey about actually constructing it over the forums. I'll try to answer any more specific questions that you have as you go.

It looks like the seedling have nute burn. are ya giving them nutes, using miracle grow soil or miracle grow perlite?? Its almost neccessary to have a thermometer in the room near the canopy. Ya basically want to keep them far enough from the plants to have a temp of 78-80 at the canopy. It all depends on how well you ventilate/ or have an AC.

I don't give them any nutes and I used Faffa's soil...it should be the GREATEST....well it's not...the other ones took it well. So all the others I should keep really dry at times right? So the soil doesn't give them as much nutes?

How damp you make the soil has no affect on the potency of nutes added. So if you didnt add any nutes, there shouldnt be any to worry about anyway. Ya def don't want to overwater though, let the soil get fairly dry and cracky before ya water. Does the soil ya used come with any nutes in it? It would say, fertalized for the forst 3 months or something. Plus if ya have a bunch of others that are fine, it coiuld be just a sickly plant, not every seedling makes it.

Ya def wanna use PH'd water at 6.8-7.0. Bottled water and RO water usually have this ph if ya cant measure it yourself and adjust it.

Hey chaotic, since I last talked to you I started 2 more seeds. And one is HUGE. Started on Aug 20, I planted it in a 2litre bottle, and the first true leaves are almost touching both sides of the bottle and are a nice dark green. And the second true leaves and halfway grown also! Im very pleased with this one so far. So today Im trying to make the ghetto co2 with yiest, sugar, and water. Im using a 20fl oz coke bottle. So my question is I have looked online for the perfect measurement for this and there are only directions for 2 litre bottles not 20fl oz bottles, would you know what measurements of the ingrediants I should use for this scale? Sorry for the spelling lol.

A 2 litre bottle is 67.62 ounces.Just gotta do the math after that.
