no sorry i dont have any item # but ive seen them there before when i was buying my 70w but i didnt have the space for a 150w hps. I think you should just flower with what you have, then buy two 400w hps later on for your next grow. there cheap if you know where to get them- http://forum.grasscity.com/showthrea...threadid=26558

You could do a tight SOG grow in that box and get some amazing 20oz.+ yeilds with thoose good genetics and 800 watts of light.

man do all of you veg 24/7???? That is sooooo bad for a plant and a waste of electricity, go 18/6 happier plants and lower electric bill!!!!! As far as the two hps i would IMO get one MH and one HPS Mh is over looked by many and is a GREAT source of light for the plants cell structure. And will prevent 12/12 strech!!!!!

organic, you dont even want to get into that 18/6 24/7 debate lol, i agree with you on the light thing.

Well im new to the game, so ive just had them on 24/7. Actually the 70w hps shuts down for a few hours, but the floros stay on 24/7.

I have no real info on the 24/7 or 18 on, 6 off debate. But my plants seem to be growing good on 24/7

look at it like this youre going to go from 24/7 to 12/12, your plants are going to be looking for that extra 12 hrs of light for atleast a week, your plants are going to most likely stretch more than plants that have grown under an 18/6 regime. then again i could be wrong, im stoned and it made sense, but then again i could be completely wrong.

hahaha there is no debate there it is fact, plants grown under 24/7 are under more stress (hemi) and cost more, and they strech 25% more than 18/6 there is NO need to go 24/7 with any plant ever!!!!! I like to rest between dinner and breakfast, don't you?? I know a guy in AU who harvests almost a pound in one bud (i have pics) he uses 18/6 and if he is wrong so am I. lol you will never get great plants from 24/7 due to stress period, it is unnatural and does not work. You may get good results but i gaurantee better with some sleep!!! i promise!!!

Hmmm, does sound good.

Maybe ill switch them over to 18/7 18 hours on 7 days a week today.

Going from 24/7 i don't think it will cause much stress.

oganic-4ever · #23 (**permalink**) 10-07-2003, 01:40 PM

I would think not, your plant will love you for that, and time watterings right before lights out or right after lights on, oh yea, a light timer is like 4.00 US at lowes. Make sure it is a heavy duty and will handle your wattage, it will say on the package and the folks at those store are more than willing to help.

i have timers, switch is made!

thanks fellas

dont spend $50 on a 2nd 70w, you can get a 150w for $35 (if you havent already)
