hps

:welcome: Welcome everyone - another journal, and another go at pulling a kilo from a single plant under the 600 watt HPS.:high-five: May as well cut to the chase :thumb: The so-called filler run is currently flowering under the HPS, they have been on 12/12 for around 14 days now...

First time making a journal so bare with me on this one:thumb: Growing some Tangie from clone that my father in law picked up for me. Growing in my own mix of soil. 3 parts Fox Farm Ocean Forest 1 part Dr. Earth Organic potting soil. With a healthy mix of earthwork castings, and Bat guano...

Hi everyone ive decided to swap back to hps rather than my leds ( 2 300w and 1 600w mars 5w white models). This is due to the heat these units give off in my 1m area , watts used (580w actual draw roughly) and lack of spread/penetration. I had already upgraded the fans in all lights with units...

hi ive been running 2*mars2 900 for the past 3yrs, over the last yr Ive been losing leds and just recently I lost a third of the panel in one go. The lights have been supplemented with a hps 400 set on a thermostat. prior to using the hps i found my buds lacked volume. The hps seemed to rectify...

Hi All! I'm a on again/off again grower over a number of years. I've leaned most of what I know from reading Jorge Cervantes & Ed Rosenthall's grow books & have done reasonably well in a few different locations & situations. I currently have 2 clones vegging in soil under a 600 Watt MH...

I have two 150watt HPS fixtures that I got back around 1990. I have a full case of replacement bulbs but they are frosted/coated. Does it matter if the bulbs are coated? There is a difference in appearance but does that matter? Thanks for any info. !

This might be a stupid question, but if I have to move my plants out of my grow tent during the "lights on" period and they end up being under regular fluorescent lights for about 10-15 minutes instead of their HPS, is that likely to screw something up and cause them to hermie or anything...

My grow is starting to put out the white hairs now and forming buds on top. My light is a 4' ,4 bulb Ho T5 with 2 agrabrite grow and 2 agrabrite bloom. I have a 250W hps I can add. Will this help produce more tighter growth buds and more weight? I am thinking of hanging it 90 degrees to help the...

Hi All, Over the winter I happened to acquire a mechanical ballast, reflector and 2- 1000 W HPS bulbs (ones a backup) I realize that this may be a dumb question but how many KwH's will a 1000 Watt HPS bulb consume in a 24 hour period? I'm asking because I'm in Ontario, A Place to Stand, a...

hello everyone! i have a 600w hps light already but i was thinking of a 1000w led which is cheaper to run? does it take longer with led? and what led would you recommend? anyone no if it takes less time growing with oxeypots than coco? heard it somewhere but cant back it up now...

I just started a wee grow a few weeks ago.I ordered some Purple Amnesia auto seeds but I had some problems germing most of them so ended up ordering more of different strains. That's why half of my plants are almost a month old and the other 3 are still seedlings. Anyway I dont know how many...
