i use 1 400wt hps growlux,2 400wt metal halide full/sun spectrum.i have a full spec hood with 1 of each in it and then another m.h. at one end puting my hps in the middle.i was only using the 2 for 800wt but the dam things keep pushin out the walls so i added another 400 m.h. to keep my w.p.s.f. up nice and high.i have no problems with heat beeing in a basement,but i will say fans,fans,fans,exhaust,exhaust,exhaust.im up at 120 or so w.p.s.f.,but to do that im only in 10 sq.ft...30x48 roughly.my limits are small so i dont require lots of space....maybe in november i have to buy another light...lol....VOTE to those of u in oregon...i need more plants!!!...lol

--Hey OrMed! - - -Could ya recomend me a feedin scedule for my mom? -She's in a 5 gal bucket sittin in a 10 inch net pot with hydroton rocks and Im feedin her FFGB. -So far I been wingin it and she's lookin real good but I was just wonderin if ya got anything to share in the ways of vegetive growth in a 5 gal bucket with FFGB.?
thats a tricky question,if you have a ppm meter,i highly recommend.....i go acording to that,keeping my ppm at 800 or close too.checking daily,changing the water every 7 -10 days.some days she needs nothing,others i must feed.so as far as a schedual ??? daily check with ppm meter and feed acordingly.in my invirament(?)i usually have to ad a 1/2 teaspoon of shit every other day.but its all up to her she eats when she wants just like us...some days she just aint hungry and i dont do anything.keep in mind this is with my nutes...."supernatural brand"ivew never done any other,and im thinkin there all different???hope this helps....to answer the question simply...buy a ppm meter and feed acording to that and her needs.after a month or so you'll see a pattern,so i hope you do clones cause they should all act simular as long as your inviroment(?) stays constant.somone at the old site schooled me on the fact that a clones a clones a clone.what mom does the kids should do to,so pay atention to your flower time aswell cause the rest should follow that time schedual...mine do its fuqin crazy...7 weeks 4 days every time there perfect!!!later lump's and hey thanks mean shes ah gettin big...oh shit lump...be careful when doiung mid week feeds,i gave mine to much at once ...bounced up to like 1100 ppm....leaves whent purple/yellow,flowers real dark.its fine but the edge was near...so be careful a little at a time i got in a hurry that day
--Aint that just fukin goofey!!? -I was just sayin I gotta get a ppm meter. -I get around it in the flower room by mixin small amounts of nutes at a time and keepenim fresh! -I flush my system and put 5 gal in the res and when this gets low,-usually the next day, -I throw another 5 gal in, -when it gets low again-usually in a couple days, -I flush it again and start the maintainance cycle over again. -I saw someone elce doing this somewhere elce but I been doin it for a year now. -I REALLY gotta get a meter tho! -I kinda do the same thing to the mother bubble bukets, -I mix ffgb at 2.3 tsp per gal in a 5 gal bubble buket and run it till it gets a bit low, -then I top it off with the same mix till it gets a bit low. -Then I switch bukets completely. and I just keep doin that in a cycle. >M>**~~~~ -Hey!! -Hows that weed that came out of yer bukit?!?! --Havent seen ya round in a while! Ha Ha!
sadly allot have seem to of dropped off though...a meters the only way to go lump's...i ran with out for 1 cycle and it was fine bud...but when i did get the meter...and seen the drop in ppm after a couple days i relized i was just keeping up.now ka-boying....they are so much better.heres the results of getting in a hurry mid week(fuqin pussy gets me every time)ADD THOSE NUTES SLOWWLY AND WITH CARE...THE OL-LADY CAN WAIT!!!shes doing fine now ,but the ppm whent up to like 1200 and she didnt like it...you can see(i think)the yellow/purple color in the shade leaf from getting to much shit.no fuqin 25 gallon flush either....drain half,fill with regular water...i love underwater culture...sorry dirt farmers,but its so much easier...and my nails are clean...lol
