Does anyone need a apprentice. I would appreciate someone to help me. Anybody in the forum sell their own made grow boxes? If there is anybody that would like to help me feel free to reach me, will be happy at the end.

ok cool thanks man, I have bad news though lol...

I have to destroy my setup and grow outdoors!!! The owners of the house are coming back and I am sure they will want a "tour" to check on things which means my growbox and stuff must be GONE no joke, last time I almost got kicked out so outdoors for me this season!

Any tips, hints, tricks from experienced growers? I know that I will have problems with animals (rabbits, woodchucks, birds, etc.) what do I do about that?

Also I am thinking when I go to plant them in about 2min I am gona pour warm water around where the plant is to avoid shock?.? I have to do this so fast I have like 45min lol I had no idea this was going to happen this season (damn).

Thanks

metal halide lights are for vegging & high pressure sodium lights are for flowering or both. the rule of thumb is 50-100w per plant or a minimum of 3500-5000 lumens per plant. lumens is the amount of light a light puts out (how bright it is), also known as foot candles. for 4 plants u will need between 200 & 400+watts or between 14,000 & 20,000+ lumens. a 250w metal halide (mh) puts off around 23,000 lumens & 250w high pressure sodium (hps) puts off around 33,000 lumens, & a 400w mh puts off around 38,000 lumens & a 400w hps puts off around 55,000 lumens. this is just a rule, some ppl will grow 4 plants under a 1000w light = 145,000+ lumens. its all about budget, space, etc. u can google lumens if u need a better deffinition.

bummer, sorry to hear, to rid pest, piss around the area (not on or close to plants) every few days to keep animals away (the smell of human urine will detire animals away). neem oil is great for bugs & such. plant them in a area wihere they get direct sunlight if possible. alot of what u do inside rolls over to outside as well. check here & come back if u need more help. http://forum.grasscity.com/general-outdoor-growing/ . ill get back on this later. i got to go, i have surgery tomarrow

I always drop in on your thread once and a while but never anything interesting to say. Things are great here, just starting to flower a couple kali mist plants, one is female for sure so thats nice. I do have a sick plant I might post some pics tomorrow to see what you think. Have a good day with the doc.
