- 3 successfull germinated seeds have been planted.
- type of seed unknown. (from some really good)
- Lights will run 24 hours
------------------------------------------------------
[Sunday, Febuary 13th]

- The plant's havent broke soil yet (11:10 am.)
- Soil appears to have enough water.
- Light's will remain on.
------------------------------------------------------

IF im not mistaken my flouro lights will work from start to finish??
People have told me to buy a 400w HPS for my "flowering" stages, If I use flouro from start to finish will this kill my yield ALOT?

well at least ya got the ball rolling

id give it a day or so before those break thru, REMEMBER NOT TO OVERWATER DURING SEEDLING STAGE.. i over watered with my first set and lost one cuz the roots couldnt get thru the soaked soil..

floros will work for the whole grow, but i strongly recommend getting at least a 250w HPS for flowering,, or if you have the money, go with a 400w for you 3 (right?) plants. it will double your yeild AT LEAST if things go well

cool ill keep the flouro then and in a few week or so ill grab a 250w hps (ace hardware or walmart have them?) or I should I get the HPS asap?

also would I want to run both lights at the same time?

thanks the brains :rasta:

you need to go to a grow shop to find an hps bulb and ballast, dont forget you need one of those too!

these two websites sell hps

www.bghydro.com
www.1000bulbs.com

you could also look on ebay for a used system for cheap, if money is an issue

as for ordering asap... if youve got the cash, id get a 400w MH system right away for vegging... the hps can wait until you flower

http://home.listings.ebay.com/Garden...istingItemList

that page has some good deals on switchables and completes

Make sure not to just go out and buy a HPS bulb, you need the ballest too...HPS bulbs dont run in normal fixtures...I started watering my plant like a little a day just keeping the soil damp...now im in flowering and i water once every 3-4 days, giveing the plants nutes every other water...Looking good for my 1st plant!!!!! Well GL bro

[Josh55]

Dont forget to buy a timer at homedepot or lowes, you will need it for flowering to shut the lights on and off...They are cheap, u could get one for like 2-3$. Try to get a PH tester if you have the funds also...again B, GL

soon I will invest but I got a quick question my seedlings are in 32oz styrofoam cups "from gas station lol" how big should I let them get before I transplant, and how much dirt does x1 plant usually need to let the roots grow successfully??

I figured ide just slice the styrofoam down the side for a transplant, should I water well before the transfer??


thanks for the input peoples
