well 16/19 popd and r in the cups..there under 69watts of cfls..2-23 soft and 4-9 soft till monday...here a pic of setup sofar byt im sure u all have seen b4...temp is 82 i think ima live them on 24/0 till then...can ne ! tell me what the ppm is for and should i b worried.....

[Boss]

ppm is for hydro- parts per million. Looks like a great start! +rep for luck!

thanks boss...ive seen ur work andwish i can have that kind of turn out...the beans r from sum kind of grape kush that a freind of a friend was grown{i was buyn..lol}but i went throw a few oz and got sum beans and said hey..i think i can do this...so here i am...but heres a pic of wat i have left from about 40day ago

[getsumkin]

ok im a lil confused....so say 20 r female and under 400hps(55000 L) 20in tall vs 5-6 under 400hps 20in tall....so my concen is yeild....im thinkn less plants with that setup will b less of the smoke...im thinkn that it will b a waist cuz of the lumens issue...i kno the more the better but if the lite covers the area they should b fine cuz they will share the lite ..rite....i figur that it will have 3-4k per plant in flower stage...if side by side in the space and 2-3k in veg...plz lmk what ull think...i need advice..cuz if its not goin to fx the harvest then im doin 20..and hopen 10 girl 20in 1-1.5 oz per.....if all goes well..and myb im all wrong on the lumens thing 3-4k per..lmk if u will

Relax man calm down, everything will be ok =]
Ok reality is your not going to get 20 females to grow under a 400 watt HPS. Dont get me wrong, of course you can do it, but its not going to turn out the best yield neither. I believe the minimum is 2000 lumens per square foot. Yield will mainly depend on YOU, the strain, and the care she gets. Theres no telling how much you will yield yet.

[getsumkin]

thanks StonerGrower...i mean ur rite hopefully 10..just wondern if less at the same size will get me more..but if u think 10 will grow just fine with a decent yield then cool...jus was thinkn that if i jus did 4-6fm it would b a better ending for me...cuz more lumens per plant

[StonerGrower]

Ok listen, I have a 1000watt HPS and I only grow 10 plants under it at one time. But thats just me. If I had a 400watt I would probly only put 4 under there. I Rather get more out of a couple, then get less out of more.

[getsumkin]

thanks.. im going to add sum 45watt cfl to it wen i need them...that help so the 100 watt per plant rule....c u said jus what i was thinkn to many for 400watt...ill jus let them b and weed out the male wen sexn them.......so if i do get ten..ima jus add 10 45watt cfl to the setup to help out....just checkd and 14 have pop therw the dirt...we on the way..

[getsumkin]

[ok well here r the lil babies...what do u think about the humidtiy.. does it have to b 30-50%...jus alil update...tent and lites will b here sumtyme today...ill post pic of it wen i get it setup..im planin to use about 200-400w clfs for sum sub liten to help keep them low while flowering...its 15 lil one of the grape...i put 4 bagseed that iv had for 8-9 years...there in grem stage so in all i will have 19..the bagseed was sum fire it smelld and taistd like oranges...really good.what do u think about me usen them.....
ok heres the pic

[getsumkin]

ok here r sum pic of what my setup will look like in away only its a 600hps mine will b 4 plus 2-400watt cfls...is 34plants in a 4x4 tent he did what ne good grow would as far as tlc..he ended up with 8 females..so...

[StonerGrower]

You have one main problem. The cups your growing in are translucent...Get some different ones, the roots should be in TOTAL darkness. Optimal humidity during veg is 50-60%. When it comes to flowering humidity should be as low as possible to avoid mold.

[getsumkin]

ok thanks alot..i will do that today..mayb wit ductape..lol mayb jus get red ones..sum say 20-30 humitiy is fine..but ima get a humidifier

[StonerGrower]

You could set a cup/bucket/bowl full of water in the room.

[getsumkin]
