This is my first hydro grow. I'm really looking forward to this grow and figuring out this soilless process. I was at the local hydro shop the other day and ran across this pretty cool GH 2 gal all-in-1 setup. So I figured what the hell. I hear it's much easier so we're going to find out. A...

Ok, im considering purchasing either a 150w or a 250w HPS lighting system. These are the two models im considering. Both units ive found are about 1 month old and come with their respective bulbs (which are also 1 month old). Also im working with about 3 x 2 growing area. Sun System 150w VS Sun...

Hey everybody, i got myself a closet grow recently. I have a total of 9 sprouts (about 2 days old) in small white Styrofoam cups under 2 (8 inch florescent glow lights) each say its to 60 watt but only uses 15 watts (has a kind of purpleish blueish glow). Plus i have a 40 watt flexible lamp...

Wondering if this is a fair deal. It is a 250 watt lumatek ballast with bulb in a cooltube for 270 bucks. Amazon: 250W 120V HPS Cool Tube Digital Grow Light System I would get the 400 but I am worried about heat as my plants will be VERY close to this light. Just how cool is the cool tube?

Hey Gang, So I have a question for the grandmasters here at 420 mag and ANY advice from Any one is VERY much appreciated. My grows are doing well but my buds are not very dense and are really airy though potent. I think this may be from my light? It is a 200 watt T5 High Output from Hydrofarm. I...

Hey there, I'm getting ready to start my first grow (Woot!) and I had a couple of questions about lighting. I have been having a HELLA huge trouble finding a good lighting setup. Originally I was going to use CFLs and grow in my closet but when I couldn't find any 6500k cfls I decided to move...

I just started my first bloom a month ago. I had a single HPS 1000 lighting six small "trees" in a room 8'X6'. I noticed that in the first two weeks the plants directly under the HPS had put on about twice the amount of fledgling buds, while the "wings" on either side were lagging behind. I...

Hi all, My "EYE 1000w HPS enhanced spectrum horticulture bulb" showed up today. I've been using a 400w industrial bulb for 9 months now and the difference is spectacular! My girls are VERY happy. Can you say "bright as the sun"? I'm here to tell you, this is the brightest bulb I've ever...

Hey guys, and kudos for an exceptionally informative board you got going on here. And that's why I come here for advice. I have two separate stealthy closets, one for vegging and one for flowering. The vegging one is doing fine with fluor tubes, my problem is the flowering cabinet. While...

Hey, I've got the plans here on the cabinet I'm planning on building. I've posted it cause i'd like all the brilliant people here to tell me how it could be better. Once I actually build it I only plan on growing one plant at first. I know it's possible to do more but i'd like to focus my...
