Well I'm new to growing and new to this site. Have a seat and watch me and my plants grow. My dad got his card from the state and wants me to grow for him so away we go.

So I just started with bag seeds un-till I get my good seeds in the mail. This is my first real try at growing so I will be improving my equipment as this grow moves forward. I just bought 5 1000 watt MH ballast with socket and bulbs for $260. I know I will not need that much power for awhile but at that price and could not pass it up (thanks CL). As for now I started with chicken brewters from the local hardware with cfl that were on sale. They are 1600 lumens each and are great for seedlings. I bought a 4 ft two bulb t-12 light with 6400 lumens from home depot $17.00 out the door with bulbs. The plants are very close to the t-12 all most no heat from this light and the plant love it. Lights are 24/7 but will being buying a timer and might run 20/4 un-till I move them under the MH. I will be vegging under that lamp for at least a week un-till I Flip them. I want a hps for flower but all i have is the MH so I will see how this works for flower. I might talk my self into getting a conversion bulb if i can find one cheaper then my car payment lol. Please any questions and tips welcome just glad to be hear.

sure did I fliped them on christmas. I have some new photos but my internet is down but I have a whole room for flower. The tallest one is about 16 iches when I put them under the 1000 watter. What do you use for a flower booster I was thinking about koolbloom but know little about it.

These are all at 4 weeks when I flipped them. I wanted to veg for 8 weeks but my plants got up to 16 inches and Thought they were big enough. You can see in one pic how much room was in my closet so I was forced to Flip them. My best plant is female and I was wondering if i could but it back under 24/7 and use it for the mother? Any one know if this is a good idea. They have been flowering only a week. Any advice ?? also thanks for all the post it means a lot. I got the vert thing going and they love it. when they get crowded i will add another 1000 watter since i have 5 of them.

ur favourite lady back under 24/7
