one of the first lights i bought was a 4' 4bulb T-5/(2)150 watt hps combo hood and it was a great veg light but not so hot on budding...the 150 watt hps's are not really made for growing like a Hortilux bulb!jmho!Quote:

stra8outtaWeed right now this grow is nut free other then what was in the soil. Im not experienced enough i feel to really troubleshoot and remedy plants with nuts. My next grow i will give it a shot thou.
Does that apply yo hydro if its even possible since theres no original nutes from a soil? So you think I'm better off with cfls though out the entire cycle?
pH comes in handy for soil, as well as hydro. I think he also meant 150w lights aren't that much better, I've heard that the 250s are pretty good though.
250s? not aware or understand what bulb that is. link?
He is saying 250 w HPS light rather then the 150 w HPS:rasta:Quote:

everyone has there own methods but i believe in mixin hps,mh,cfl through entire grow....
I found a grow shop in my local area that is a growers paradise. I picked up 3 bags of fox farm ocean forest, clonex, some root starters, and some koolbloom dry. I took some cuttings from my other female plant who i feel has some good qualitys that i want (vigiorous growth, medium height, very bushy). This is my first attempt at cloning so only time will tell. I also started my furtherest along plant on a its first nute feeding. I started very very very light maybe if lucky 1/4 of regular dose. Attached are some pics of her. She looks yummy and i cant wait to burn the bitch. :jointsmile: Im still undecided on my lighting. the guy at my grow shop was very positive on using CFL's. I was thinking i might just mix the spectrums rather then just going all 6500k. He suggusted to wait till my next grow as switchin spectrums at this point would put unneeded and unwanted stress on them. But at least ill be better prepared on my next grow.
nice lookin girl~go easy on the kool bloom...its strong stuff....glad you found a cool shop :smokin:
you'll like the ocean forest~good stuff:thumbsup:
keep up the good work:jointsmile:
