    pics Some pics of my grow space in my attic. Tell me what u think of it so far.

    Thats a huge space, doesn't look like it from the pics, but I can tell by the ballast. I've never met anyone with a Maurijuana grow, but I was acused of it once, that also brings up a memory of my brother who smokes that huka stuff, the cops just knew he was smoking pot, when they pulled him...

    How critical is pH?

    Just my expereince, but PH is extremely important, it can make plants grow more in less than a week than a month of sustained life. I use much less nutes when the PH is on point. Regulate PH with about 50/50 dependant, with rainwater/city water. I've used lemon juice, vinegar, ph up/down ect...

    HPS or MH for full grown plants??

    My opinion 18/6 MH straight through. 600 watts HPS is supposed to be the most efficient light. You get roughly twice the lumens with HPS but they do stretch alot vs the MH. With a 400 MH about $12-$15 a month increase. A 250HPS will put out almost as much as a 400MH but the 400 will cover a...

    My Hydro Habanero's: DWC with DIY LED's

    That 1.5 and 6 you had was spot on, even 1.3 and 6.2 are fine, 1.3 being on the low side. I would hold what you got and see if they recover. Don't want to give bad advice, but I think with those numbers they will steady recover. That little bit of tip burn is a good first sign to look for next...

    My Hydro Habanero's: DWC with DIY LED's

    Zinc Deficiency? Doesn't look like light burn or Nitrogen to me, the calmag was prob a good idea, but if your PH is what you say I doubt it's a lockout. Hard to tell but is there bluing or is that lighting?

    pics Cold Garage Germination/Grow (Construction Complete! Now with Pics!)

    If your garage is attached, I would germinate inside with fluorescents till you have three sets of leaves. Then transfer them into the garage under a 400 watt Metal-halide for 15 hours a night, run the light from say 6pm till 9am and they will do fine. Running lights at night will heat the home...

    Ebb and Flow spacing Question

    If you really want to build ebb and flow you should go to a local hardware store and buy "concrete tubs" used for mixing concrete they are 15.00 to 20.00 vs the 80.00 specific tubs...Search ebb-and-flow concrete tub... IF this is your first hydro grow, I think you should try a simple DWC build...

    lighting Best type of lighting set ups

    I've read they are doing away with T12's July 2012, and conversion kits will be used to convert to t8. Would say a 4 bulb, 4ft, warm-white t8 would work good, or the same in T12 then convert to T8 if the stop manufacturing the T12 bulbs. You could build a something like this, but it fit fewer...
