whatever it was now it's gone.......i am reffering to the grow system in e-bay (some wise guy ended the auction and bought it straight away...my intelligence tells me it's a desperate tomato&herb grower, yeah right...LOL) .....
it looked good&promising for entry level anyway....
you know what? somehow the prices of almost everything is much chaper over in the us.....the 1000hps complete lighting unit with ballast fitted over here costs almost 500 us dollars.....hell sometimes i see offers like this one and i get crazy because i live out here.....anyway....ZANDOR i need your expertise&advice....i was kinda wanted to start a new thread but did not bother....i am anxious a bit about my next grow....going into hydro using nft setup....what i am anxious about is it's efficiency...one more thing is that my first grow was in soil....during the last weeks i flushed after week 6 for two weeks (well did not really flush, just watered with no ferts till harvest)....i have read a report on overgrow about growing Blueberry in hydro....the flowering lasted only six weeks, 42 days....normally i should start flushing using soil, not harvest....is it that the ladies mature even faster when grown with hydro? i mean ok, i know they grow faster than soil during veg but does this apply in hydro as well?
today i received my future ladies as well....two sativa dom and two indicas...i plan to grow two strains at a time in an attempt to have a garden of plants of the same height and size.....i really feel more tempted to grow Crystal&Papaya (mango) first....both indoors...my nft board is fully equipped with pumps timers etc... 12 sqft growing space, complete system...all professional equipment for measurements.....do not have an extractor and carbon filter...will add a good ioniser though....entire room with two windows open at all times....measurements of the room are 80 sqft and height only 8ft..all walls are painted bright white.....for lighting i plan to use 400 watt grolux for vegetation and 800 watt for flowering with the option to add even another 600watt to a total of 1400 watts all in hydro.....i know the more watts i use the better i will get in the end.....however, what should i expect total yield out of 800 watts of grolux in hydro with constant levels of co2 thought the entire grow? will i get 3 pounds of bud?
other than that....one more thing.....if i decide to do a vegetation time long, like two months, will i be able to get around 4-5 pounds out of 12sqft of growing base (of course i will have to add more lights but i came up to this lighting unit the other day....it is like a common bulb but it is an hps light in reality....55 watts complete with cables and stuff.....these lights can grow up to a plant...however i believe that you can place them them wherever you need them....the total safe wattage of lights i will be able to use in this project will be 1400 watts max for growing....hope everyone's good after reading all this....take care people
