Rewired my 150 HPS...

[Buckshot]

Made a little bat wing reflector to reflect at least some light... Apparently it works because when you look at the back of it, its a whole lot darker then the front...

I need to mount the ignitor and ballast, which I will do, I dunno when, but I wish I could find some fox farms soil....

Wiring Diagram for my HPS:

I went and got some soil today - N - .07. P - .01. K-.03 (%) Hows that sound??

Sounds weak and good for new babies ;)

The soil or the light? Hehe. Either way, the soil is for the new babies, and the light wont go on them till they've been under cfls long enough to get at least a few nodes.

The soil. I don't think you'll be able to flower more than 1-2 plants properly under 150HPS though.

This is my starter setup, I don't want, nor do I have room to flower more then 1 or 2 plants. I'm going to start 6, and see what I come up with. In order to figure out sexes before they are fully grown you have to...?

I do believe I read that clones can be taken, rooted, then forceflowered to figure out what your others are going to be. Is this fairly correct?

I started another thread and noone replyed so I've got one more question. Grow cab better to be taller and narrower, or shorter and wider? Taller and narrower is what I'm thinking.

That is correct.

Well, probably taller, but that depends. As long as your temps at the top of the plant are ok with your lamp at, I suppose, around 1 foot, and the plant has room to grow about 2 -3 foot with the lamp moving up at the same speed, thats the height you need.

Unless you want to LST, which I recommend btw, in which case you won't need much more height than 2 feet including the pot, but it will get wide and bushy.

150 should be ok with 2 plants i would def. lst them and keep em as short as possible

I don't know...I have 3 LST's under a 400 HPS right now, and I can clearly see I could actually do with another 200W to realize their potential.

Thanks for the help guys, Ill get some pictures up once a get a little box built, I need ultimate stealthy-ness on this grow, and havnt quite figured how I'm gonna do it yet...

Thanks bro, that kinda makes me excited. Reflectix at home depot huh? How bigga cab should I build for starting 6 plants hoping for 2 females.

Howbig should my little guys get before I put them under the HPS? 4 nodes? And how long before I can try cutting some clones to forceflower?

I got them in soil last night, so I don't know how long it will take for them to sprout, but I'm excited. I have them under 1 23 watt 6000K CFL at least till they sprout.

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks
Buck

i i wouldnt make the cab anymore than 3x2.5x2.5 that should get you 3 plants easy, i flowered at 30days veg and kept the plant about 15in high LST'ed.
