Much appreciated Jams, good info! I think with your input on the area, I'm going to trim down the number of the next grow, but use larger capacity pots. The six girls are what I have now though. Two of them are going to be culled early as they are slightly older/larger. I hear you about the larger pots - I've read larger root room translates to a larger plant and yeild. Have a couple large ones laying around somewhere, guess I'll break'em out. Probably going to use my old flourescents in tandem with the new bulb as well, supplemental lighting can't hurt, right?


Please excuse my ignorance, but what is a Scrog grow? I also have never heard of a cloning machine (damn I feel lame!), I was under the impression that cloning constituted taking a cut, dipping it in a gel, and then sticking that in a cube of medium. Yikes, I need to hit the books again. Do you think it's worth me trying to clone given my inexperience and desire to not spend any more money?

I get the impression your setup is site to behold; what strains do you grow?
BlueDevil Reviewed by BlueDevil on . How does this sound (for a lightweight noob like me)...? I'm in the process of my first real grow. So far I've been using 4ft Wally world specials but I realize I need more wattage/lumens. Only have 6 girls going, and they're a bit on the lame side due to my noobiness. Anyway, I've done some investing and here's how it's panning out: Grow area is roughly 5'x5', and coated in a mix of alum foil and (almost) mirror like insulation board. Got a 400W Lumatek digital ballast, Hortilux HPS bulb (Sunmaster MH isn't here yet, will use on the next Rating: 5
