Plz Correct me if i am wrong. I do have a 400w bulb laying in my closet but do to Privete Reasons i am afraid to hook it up!

vaporedout · 08-08-2010, 06:38 AM

id break out that 400w....

LostanConfussed · 08-08-2010, 10:00 AM

That 400W blue bulb will pull alot of power am i right? i mean it lights up a pretty big area but i think i would yeild more from it its just the amount of power usage i am worried about any advice?

farmergiles · 08-08-2010, 10:32 AM

400w blue bulb- is that a metal halide HID bulb with a ballast?

The more light (lumens) you have the bigger your harvest up to a point.

I assume the lights you have been using are CFLs- are they 60w or is that the equivalency rating?

The light should be of the right spectrum for the plants.
MH bulbs put out a fair amount of bluish light and are good for vegging, ok for flowering. Sodium bulbs put out a more yellow- orangish light which is better for flowering.

CFLs come in a variety of spectrums.

A 400w bulb (of whatever kind) will put out a lot of heat- if you do go up to a bigger light let your plants acclimatise gradually, be careful not to put the big light too close too quickly.

You said you were using miracle grow, do you happen to know the N-P-K ratio of the mix? I'm thinking that because your plants are flowering they may need additional nutes not provided for in the soil.

LostanConfussed · 08-08-2010, 05:47 PM

N-P-K Ratio no i do not wut nutritions would i need? This is the bag of dirt i used! Here r my pics right after the lights came on any comments? fill my head full of Knowlage PLZ..

SmokeaJoint · 08-08-2010, 06:23 PM

Ok, the soil you have is NPK 9-7-14. NPK stands for the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (potash) present in the soil. These are the three main nutrients needed for plant growth. Gimme ten seconds so I can re-lookup the NPK ratio for flowering pot...

Edit: When its budding, weed needs a bit more phosphorus, something like 15-30-30. I know theres a Sticky here somewhere to show signs of nutrient deficiency here somewhere, and thats useful in determining what nutrients, if any, your growing plants need.

SmokeaJoint · 08-08-2010, 06:30 PM

The fish fertilizer you have is NPK 5-1-1 btw, so maybe something a little stronger. Fox Farm Big Bloom works fine, but I dunno what all you have access to.

LostanConfussed · 08-08-2010, 07:00 PM

yeah Mother in Law told me to get some Fox Farm Stuff an something Called Big Bud. kinda live in a small Town in BFE!

SmokeaJoint · 08-08-2010, 07:02 PM

If theres a greenhouse or a garden supply, look there. I've never seen anything worth using at Walmart, Lowes, and the like. If nothing else, the internet will send it to ya.

LostanConfussed · 08-08-2010, 07:02 PM

Actually did a lil Reseach on Fox Farm an they sell right in my town how Bizar!

SmokeaJoint · 08-08-2010, 07:03 PM

Hell yeah thats good news.

LostanConfussed · 08-08-2010, 07:23 PM
