[Wolfprince]

I'm starting a room that is about 6' x 9' the celing is only 6'4'' and it's a basement project. i found a 1000W HPS on Ebay for a great deal. i want to know if i have enough light to grow 10 plants ( shiva skunk ) or do i need to get more. thanks for your help .


ever wonder how high a chipmunks voice would be if he took a solid hit of helium?

HPS are not really that good for growing as I've discovered, they are more for the flowering stage, what you need is a 1000w metal hallide for the growing stages then change the bulb to ya hps on ya flowering and budding stages.

cheers

If you want to light the whole area (6' x 9') then youll need another light or a light mover. You could get by with 6' x 6' and rotating the plants often.

HPS are better for the flowering stage, like DJ said, but you can go the entire grow with one. You might see more space between the internodes which means the plants will be stretched slightly more then they would be under a MH during vegetative. If you found a really good deal for the 1000 watt HPS and are limited on funds then I would say go for it. Your best bet would be to get the HPS and buy a MH conversion bulb for it. Then you can use the conversion bulb for veg and the sodium for flowering.

thanks people, i wish i could pass out samples from my first crop. since it will be atributed to the peaceful souls at Cannabis dot com!!!!

whoo hoo. one more Question, is a five gallon bucket enough for a plant to give a good yeild? also if i give them about 1 square foot of space is that going to crowd them???

You guys and gals are great!

What up Wolfprince? Welcome!

5 gallon bucket... soil, hydro? Either event, 5 gallon will give you a very nice bush... very big bush actually. You can go bigger, but I've seen shitloads of setups with 5 gallons. But, wait on more input on this, I think you shouldn't go straight into 5 gallons. I think you should increase from a smaller pot, to a bigger one until you get to the 5 gallon. Again, I think...

Not until now... but I'd guess pretty fucking high pitched, eh? LOL!

Where does the white go when the snow melts???

Well, it just ... you ain't seeing it. The white came from the reflections of light inside the water crystals (aka: snow)... but now that it's melted, it doesn't reflect "white".... well, that's the quasi-turtle-scientifical explanation for it...


Ok, wierd question:

If God is almighty, then, can he make a rock soo heavy that nobody can lift it? Not even himself? Well, if he can't lift it, he ain't all mighty... but if he can lift it, he failed in making a super-heavy rock...
Which one is it?
