Indoor In need of some supply's

[GreenSpyda]

with promix your gonna need veg nutes and a cal/mag

here's where i get my seagrow http://www.plantsthatproduce.com/retail/Faux_Soil_Cannabis_Nutrients.html

don't forget ph meter calibration liquid and for ph adjustment i use baking soda to go up and vinegar for down :thumbs:

thanks for the reply really appreciated.

I'm not sure if you bought your lights yet but here is one to consider if you want 400w regular mh and hps. I have some of their 1000w models and working very well. I had a bulb go on me and they sent a new one no questions asked. Fair prices. I'm ordering two more 1000w Monday!!

thanks for the suggestion. I would rather go with T5 due to the electric consumption of MH and HPS.

Keep in mind 54w bulbs x 8 =432w
400w mh or hps = 400w

tomaato, tomato

You're crazy man, you can do awesome with $700... If I knew what I know now and had $700, I'd be better off! What'd you decide on for lights? With that fan, you could use an aircooled hood and a 400W HPS, but you'd have to come down to a 2x3 area, 6-8 plants.

There's supposed to be a release of dragons some time soon I think? I know there was some on a magazine cover, but I'm not sure what's going on.. I'll see what I can find out for ya. If you're a medical patient though, karma dragons are starting up soon.

lol i wanted a good setup. that would be great for electric consumption. I really would like start with T5's. my list of considerations are above.

I thought T5 were just like cfl's. example: a 250w cfl doesnt use 250w of electric right? I was told that they use much less electricity

I know with cfl they give you a consumption rating in w and they give you a corresponding value in normal bulbs. So a cfl bulb to replace a 75w normal bulb may use (off the cuff) 15w. But it uses 15w of electricity(based on example). So when the t5 manufacturer shows 54w bulbs they use 54w.

I have a t5 4' 8 bulb unit and they are all 54w and in the manufacturers guide it shows it using 432w per run hour.
I'm not trying to change your mind.

Sure it does. Its just more efficient at producing light. It produces more micromoles of photosynthetically active radiation per kilowatt hour than high pressure sodium, ceramic metal halide, and incandescent lamps. And they're inexpensive. That's why they've been adapted to and utilized for indoor horticluture.

You need to look at lumens not the just w, to compare apples and apples. It can be confusing when your talking about efficient lights like cfl's.

Lumens, as a qualitative measurement is inferior to umol of PAR. I could have 50k lumens of shit green light that the plant cant use. You need to know the density of light the plant can use, not what the lamp produces.

which one do u think will give a better quantity and quality?
