Nice, I like seeing 150-watt HPS grows after viewing the results of one of ChicagoJoe's. Hope your GR is sized for the light (~3 square feet) and that you have good reflectivity on the walls. Pretty sure I would have used a different soil. What brand of nutrients are you using?

I am a fan of small HID closet grows, and want to watch

 

[laladaddy8649]

welcome tortured soul, and propa gator!!
thanks for ur interest in my grow, well first off imma start by saying i know how terrible "miracle grow" is for growing cannabis, but i am on a budget!! the walls do not have reflective lining either....im working on that...and im using two part fluro a/b grow/micro nutes at 15ml a gallon with feedings every other day.


grab a chair and lets grow!!

Flat white paint works, if you've got some (and primer).

 

[laladaddy8649]

well im a renter so i kinda cant paint anything.

 

[TorturedSoul]

Sucks. I rented for years (houses and apartments) and painted at every place I lived. I was reimbursed (took it off my rent) for some when I improved the places - along with various plumbing/electrical/structural maintenance. Other times, I just did it and didn't mention it to the landlord as it wasn't really what you'd call necessary.

I guess some landlords would rather pay someone to take care of such things (and someone else to deal with the hassles of renters calling/complaining, lol).

Look around at new home construction. You can often find duct work insulation (metal/"bubbles"/metal). It comes in rolls three or four feet wide and a lot of the time you can talk them out of the last bit of the roll if they aren't going to be using it on their next job.

thats true, i see what you mean totured.....the main thing im focusing on right now is my temps!! my GR reached about 93 degrees today.....which is hott!!! i have a fan running inside my closet but i think my Hps is heating everything up still!! i noticed little signs of heat stress on my tahoe ladie leaves today....and i was wondering, maybe if i move the HPS farther from her,it'll cool things down?

 

[Propa Gator]

Is your light an all-in-one unit, or is the ballast remote?

 

[laladaddy8649]

All in one unit made by sun supply.

 

[Propa Gator]

Some way, you need to power vent that closet somewhere. 90* is too hot, plus CO2 must be replenished, and asperation moisture requires removal or bad things happen. Small, quiet electronic case fans work for your size box, running 24.

im using a regular "house fan" u can say.....3 speed adjustable.....i leave it on all night.. i think im just going to have to invest in a fan designed for indoor grows.... thanks though.

Structure looks decent.

 

[Propa Gator]

I the color.
The brighter green inside is the rapid-expansion zone of full-size vigorous stem leaves.
Solar panels with built-in chemical synthesis reactors

any info or feedback is wanted... please.....

Only one stolen? Thieves in my hood leave nothing standing, and mark their spot like a dog.
Your best friend ripped you off.
