I'm getting the votex 4'' for the air cooled hood, and yours saying ill need more ventilation?
And about feminized seeds, and doing things to feminize: I have not seen any scientific proof that feminization methods work. It is a controversial and touchy subject. Many experienced growers have said that they have tried feminized seeds and other feminizing methods, and they don't see any difference. On the other hand, some people swear it works. I'm with the group that believes gender is determined by genetics, and you can't change that unless you have decoded the MJ plant genome and know how to manipulate the dna of the plant at a submicroscopic level. Let me know how that works out for you.
I'm not sure what I'm doing in terms of how many plants to be honest. So there are single bulbs that are both mh and hps? And on the ballast I just switch it?
