Damn, but i don't have 48" wide cabinet for those kinds of fluros... I guess for now i will go with 2 27 watt fluros for the growth period, then try to find a good 250-400 watt HPS for the flowering period, mb something will come up and i will be able to buy it... thx

Oh god, i was going somewhere to buy something with my mom when suddenly, she said that she knew a place where they sell indoor growing things... so we went to a nearby restaurant and stopped by the small shop... but unfortunately... it was closed! But the store look very very promising... guess what i saw through the glass display window.... ONE FUCKING HUGE ASS 1000WATT HPS BALLAST unloading its beautiful light on some fake display plants!! XD man that cheered me up, as i look through the entrance, i could see books about hydroponics and indoor growing and such, further down the hall i could see a hydroponic setup and many light kits... ill probably go this week, but im extremely anxious to go!!! Its friday and god im so excited i want to go saturday, but i cant, im working :S, and they close right after my working hours, this shop is the solution to all my lighting needs... on the front board sign it sayd" Organic Fertiliser, Organic soil, Hydroponics, Indoor Growth lighting..." and such and such... i just cant believe my luck, hopefully ill find something to put under my cabinet...
I got one question, can you put a hps ballast in a cabinet? or would the heat be too hot? i plan on putting a computer fan near it, but i think those huge ballasts have incorporated ventilation systems in them... Anyways, thx cheers

if you don't know wether it's a good idea to put 1000wHPS in a cabinet or not...chances are you should go with some fluorescents. ventilation, heat and just the fact that 1000wHPS is pretty overkill for a beginner. As far as "not being able to grow with fluoro's" ... it's bullshit, you can grow with fluoro's.. AND flower with fluoro's... i'm doing it.. and doing it damn well i might add.
not to mention your plants will be oven dried toothpicks...
Dude, i saw a 1000watter there, it dont meen im getting one!@! jesus are u fucking crazy? its just that that huge ballast impressed me... im getting like a 250-400 max... lol.. I'm GOING RIGHT NOW XD wish me luck, i hope i find some goooood shit XD cheers Ima go check out what stuff they have, tell ya what i saw later :D

fuckyty fuck fuck fuck... well i found out the 400watt ballast cost... 270$... i can afford, but i have a few things i need to know... Will HPS with enhanced blue specktrum ( red main specktrum) will be ok on the seedlings? and i know it wont grow very very good, but will it grow fine? and how for should i put it from the initial seedlings? my dads the only problem now... dads always are... i dunno how i should ask him if i can put a plant growing system... me and my cousin want to fool him by saying that we are putting some bean plants and that we will grow some bean plants and some pot to not make it look suspicious, plz help... cheers

A:a 400 watt hps with enhanced blue spectrum is more than enough for seedlings.....what you need is a couple floros for the first two weeks from seed.....check my fotos in basic growing......i have posted my ladies' pics in week 5 from seed, week 4 in veg......they have been grown from the beginning under a 400 watt hps grolux.....
B:if you insist in trying to cheat your fathers' ability to detect marijuana plants, then try to grow tomatoes next to them
but seriously.... you can't really think dad's not gonna know ????????
it's gonna stink like shit
i agree... do you have a setup to where it will keep the odor from leaking out so you dad doesn't smell it? also if you TELL you dad you are growing beans, don't you think he might want to check it out sometime? is this in the same house as where he lives in? please make sure you checked all your angles. one of the first rules is to never tell anyone you are growing bud. you kind of told you dad that already that you are growing beans... he know there is something growing and what will you say when he wants to see it? and it is right around the harvesting time when you are so close to cutting and smoking?
just watch out as from what this thread looks like, you haven't thought all things through and your growing experience may be cut short if you underestimate your dad.
I am sorry to disappoint you but dont grow at all.
Wait until you are old enough to have your own place. Growing is a serious thing.
