Crap. The reflector hood I ordered is made to plug into a ballast. Should I order a new one, and send this one back. Or should it be simple enough to rewire the mogul base socket for a standard two prong and ground cord for the cfl light I have already?

one thing to put in your arsenal is Bushmaster...when you go to put your plants into flower it will stimulate faster flowering but it limits the stretch and will stack your nodes tighter and have better yield than without it...only applied in the the very beginning of flower once or twice depending on personal preferance but a small bottle of it will last a long time! your plant will only stretch about a 1/3 of what it would normally by applying Bushmaster...so it is great for small spaces!:thumbsup:

This bushmaster?:wtf:
JK. I'll definitely look into it. Seems like everytime I turn around there is a new shiney toy on the shelf to pull down and take home. Think I'll wait till this grow is over before I start procuring more "growstuffs", but thanks for the input.

One more question. I'm thinking about getting myself some Fox Farms nutes. The last time I tried growing the only resource available was the Anarchasts Cookbook, and the suggestions in there (as far as I can remember) are WAY fucking different from what I'm reading here.
I am seeing pictures on here showing good results, so I'm throwing away all the info in my head I learned way back then. Like to help with a strong plant, stress the shit out of it. It even suggested dropping your plant out a second story window, then repotting it (seriously). What I have been using from it was the recommended fertilizer regiment of used coffee grounds, and egg shells. I think the coffee grounds are a bit too Nitrogen rich, because I am having some of my leaf tips turning a bit brown. It isn't so much that I am worried this far into the game, but I want to do it right.
So finnaly to the question. If I buy these products, should I follow the recommended doseing, or dilute it a bit more.

Oh, I know. I think my problemb may just be that I'm reading too much. I have so much new info in my brain that I'm having a hard time keeping it all straight....specially when I'm not myself:stoned:

I'm not a FF user, I like my Canna.
But if FF is the only available set, you'll need the trio. They have a chart online with weekly dosages listed. With FF, it's recommended to feed half the recommended dosage twice per week, instead of giving them the full dose at one time.
FF nutes are notorious for being very strong, so make sure to start with 1/4 strength and work your way up. It's also good to do a small flush with plain water once a month to help with the salt build-up (flush with the container's equivalent volume of ph'd water, 5gal of water for a 5gal pot).
This is how RustyTrichome does it, you can check out some of his posts. If you do a google search like this:

you'll get several threads to read through.
Happy growing :jointsmile:
