I wouldn't veg with an HPS go get some 6500k cfls from walmart to at least supplement it with some blue light before using an HPS to veg. Also I am wondering which tetra you got? I also use tetra pumps and tried their smaller one on a single plant. As soon as I upgraded to at least a 50 for one plant I saw dramatic growth. The more aerated the water is the better the roots will grow. You can grow with four 25 watt cfl's from walmart per plant easily. I am investing in an 8 lamp t-5 4ft Tek Light, a hydroponics shop near me has them on sale for $409 which is a steal. 432 watts for 40,000 lumens and I can place the light about 4-5 inches from my plants b/c the ballast emits NO heat or noise and are located on the outsides of the fixture.
Paht_Hed Reviewed by Paht_Hed on . Bubble Bucket <3 :thumbsup:Finally got around to making my own bubble bucket. I used this tutorial . I'll probably be doing a one plant test grow to see how things go. I have two 1'' airstones running on the bottom. I still have a few questions. When your cleaning out the bucket what do you do with the lid and the plant? How often should the water be changed? What are some important things to be on top of when running a bubble bucket plant? I'll post more questions in this thread as soon I think of some Rating: 5
