Need Help! Bc Northern Lights Producer Grow Box

[FloridaBud]

I just got a BC Northern Lights Producer box, this box is just about ready to start my first growth, it has 18 spots to grow, do I use all of them? it has 2- 400 watt hps bulbs, 1- 125watt fluorescent, And how much yield will I get within a month or 2 with proper growth help? I need all the help I can get. What is the best seed to grow. I want something sticky, and yield alot.

If your main concern is yield I would go with Big bud, Big bud x northern lights, or critical mass(which is the original Big Bud). You can fill as many holes as you like. 18 plants are not going to veg under one 125watt flourescent though, and HPS isnt the right spectrum for vegging. It can be done though I suppose. Yield depends on the strain, the enviroment, and what your feeding it and how much light you can possibly give it. Also the method you choose to grow can either decrease your yield or increase. Methods such as Sea of green, Screen of green, Light stress training and so on and so forth. Also if you prune your plants properly it can increase a little.

So, they gave you 125watt fluorescent bulb with the producer... I wondering, if that won't be adequate enough for the 18, what watt fluorescent would work better for your system? There's so many variations on how people choose to grow, so it's kinda confusing I guess to the novice hydro grower. I'm curious as well.

I love my BC Bloom Box. I'm still getting hydro down. A gram per watt is a good target. Be sure to use the Carbon dioxide option; well worth the extra cost.

Amen on the fan for air flow.

I am buying the fluorescent, should I get the 150watt? or stay with the standard 125? Also I noticed on ebay, someone has 2 different kinds of fluorescents, the daytime, and a night warm. which one should I get? I want the best one.

Maybe add a couple of small red/blue spectrum Cree LED boards to help?

[CubsRule420]

LED's are pretty much worthless really...even the UFO will not veg a strong plant.

[StonerGrower]

I think with LEDs its power in numbers, never tried growing with them yet...YET. You should get the 150 watt instead of the 125. 25 more watts is better than not having any!

I have a bloom box.The 125w cfl will work just fine for your veg needs.I have grown hash plant,northern lights,dynamite,lui,dutch treat and kc36 in my bloom box with good results.Flower your plants at 6 to 8 inches and you should not have any height problems.

Just got the Bloom box also, Ms. Fox My gurl wanted to compete with me, So we are getting ready to setup are stages. I am trying to get some bulbs for the bloom box as they didnt come with. But should be setup by this next week. I am excited we have decided to have a little competition. (all for fun as we grow) I will be picking my own type of strains, as she will have different from me. This is gonna be interesting! As soon as we start, we will have our Grow Journals, So looking forward to it.
