What kind of dimensions are you working with in your grow space? The amount of room is largely going to dictate what and how many bulbs you will be able to put in there safely. Personally, I would go with Metal Halide or High Pressure Sodium bulbs if you can deal with the heat in a economical...

I have never heard of using sugar, but that seems like a big no-no. Bacteria, good and bad, will both use sugar.

AudioBassiks is right, you can use as much light as you want so long as you can control the heat. Your space is fine, but with a 1000w HPS, I would suggest doing some LST to maximize space since the light, light distance, and bucket size are going to eat up a fair amount of space.

Yeah, I did end up cutting the hemi up and flusing her down the toilet. I was going to keep her because I wasn't too sure if all the stress she had in particluar was the cause or it was genetics, but after all the BS of trimming her and making sure pollen wasn't polinating my other plant, I had...

That all depends on how big of a bucket you have and the plant's overall gentics. I used 3 gallon buckets so I could only veg for 2 months, but they could have easily veged for much, much longer considering their growth. If you can, get the biggest container you can find and let'em ride out in...

Agree, the 23w are better and cheaper IMO. While the 42w are natrully going to be putting out more light, I don't find the added heat worth the light considering I can get a 23w closer to the plant. One thing to keep in mind is that while CFL run cooler than most lights, with the exception ot...

Nice idea and so bloody simple that anyone can make this. In essence, this is a heatsink that you would find on any computer's CPU. Copper will work better than aluminium, but aluminium is cheaper and thus better for doing some R&D before you take the pludge and build something even more...

Agree, it could be a ball, but I've seen that on my plants before they showed their sex and it was just new leaf growth.

DAY 44 Well, it is now time to put my ladies in 12/12. They were at around 18 inches and since I am only using 3 gallon pots, this is about all I think I can push in terms of veg without the roots getting all bound up. Kind of sad since they just seemed to be really growing. A week before these...
