im run n a 2 400 s hps , with 2 under it , with good results, every 1 i know uses the big lights like mine , next time i mite try 1 600 n c how that goes , fluro s r good , ive seen some good result s on this web site , try 1 400 n go hydro 2 kick it on , hydo is easy just sounds hard , about a couple of hunderd 2 set it up , ican talk u threw it , if u want , 8 week s from clones mine r 6 foot ,
6 Foot in 7 week!!, Wow! I am going to give Hydro a go after this one is done. Any help would be great. Looking at 1 400 hps for light upgrade. How do you go for heat with the hps?
i just leave the fan on all the time and check the temp,, sorry m8 that was a typo , they r 6 foot in 5 week s , 4 weeks veg n they keep grow n 4 a bout a nother week in flowering , but yes , but they r in bucket s so they r really a bout 5 foot ,the pic in my profile is a clone at week 8 , 4 week s in 2 flowering , DONT TOUCH THE LIGHT BULB WITH YOUR FINGER S, or it will b fucked , by a book from ed just gogle it ,it make hrdro easy , lots of pic s to ,
Have some more pics from today. She is looking pretty good, may veg for another 2 - 3 weeks, will see how she goes. Have also taken some clones for 3rd grow.

To run a 400HPS, you'll need to organise some proper ventilation- and opening a closet door a couple times a day doesn't count!
Fans moving air around in a closed space don't cool anything- they just distribute the warm air around- and add a bit more from their own motor.
You need to pull fresh, CO2 laden air in from outside the op airmass and dump waste heat and humidity transpired from plants to someplace where it can not be easily pulled right back in the grow. An ability to properly ventilate a space will dictate whether you can grow in it or not. If you can't vent it, you either won't get any buds or very few, poor quality ones.
CFLs are OK for clones, seedlings and slow vegging some mums, but they're a real compromise in flowering. Cannabis needs the high intensity light from HPS to make dense, heavy buds. However, if you can't move enough air to cool the HPS though can get enough in for the plants and a bit more, flowering with CFLs may make the difference between growing a little or none at all.
Tall plants are not the friend of the indoor grower. Even powerful HPS lighting has only so much foliar penetration ability. I use 1000W HPS in my SoG op; they make good buds about 33-36" deep, so I grow the plants to suit the light. A 6 foot tall plant would produce very little beyond the 3-4 foot range of a 1000 HPS. The answer is easy- grow 'short' plants indoors, no taller than the foliar penetration depth capability of your lights.
If you plan well and use a space that can be ventilated, you'll get top notch buds at very little cost- and never have to buy on the black market again. If you fail to plan, plan to fail.
what kind of soil?
I only ask because you said you just dropped them in some soil?
just make sure you know that adding nutes to regular soil is different than a soilless mixture....(at first at least)
otherwise awesome so far!
the last thing i would b worried about is the light bulb with the cop s on my arse , with 1 or to plant s y run ? hahahahahahahaQuote:
