alright i no that this is a newb question but how much bud can i expect to get off of one plant. my strain is jock horror autoflower seed im using a diy grow box with like a 3 gallon pot my lights are 3 75watt cfl lights im am using farm fox soil and bat guano fertilizer. does anybody have an estimate of around how much bud ill get? thanks
I have heard others getting 2-4 oz's per 'auto' plants but I've never tried the 'auto' strains myself.
Right. Think about it this way, people all want to try and get 1 gram per watt. If you managed to get everything about your grow 100% ideal, then you'd be there, maybe. You can do alot w/ cfls from what I gather, you're just gonna need alot of them. I dunno if you have the space or the desire to invest in another light, but you can get a decent HPS for pretty cheap. I paid $155 for my 400w mh/hps. You could get a 250w for less. Check this thread out.... http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-marijuana-growing/672895-how-possible.html
i have heard the same thing about the lights...but what is considered a lot because i thought 3 was a lot and also being that thebox i have is only about 4 feet tall and 3ft wide...so the plant will be getting hit by the lights pretty close...but how many is considered alot?
It's really how many total actual watts. The other thing is that you want to put those things as close to the plants as you can get em w/ out physically burning the plants. 1 foot away even will reduce the light the plants get exponentially. I'm growing in a 2x4x7ft tent w/ a 400w hps. This is my 3rd grow ever. Check it out in the link in my sig.
hey bro i have been looking around and a 250w hps light almost runs for like 200 where did you find your light so cheap?
400 Watt Digital Ballast HPS MH Grow Light 400W System - eBay (item 320596619565 end time Oct-03-10 00:50:07 PDT) That's the exact one I have. I bought an air cooled reflector once summer came to cool it off. It's a cheap one, but I've been running mine for a good while, (almost 2 years) and haven't had a single issue.
Think about how many more people would be growing fat, fat nuggets if it weren't for all the people who say you have to use an expensive ballast, or an $80 bulb. That's enough to scare alot of people away from HID lighting, but I use a cheap ass ballast, and a $18 bulb I got at home depot and my shit grows like mad.
Man to get some good dank your goin to have to invest in a good ballast and light, it's essential. For your setup I would say atleast 250w hps. It's all how your set up is my friend can get half lb off one plant. But you def need a better light
I think your fat fat nuggets definition might be somewhat different than say mine or someone else's that use two 1000w hps with ballasts. But anyway, one mans garbage is another mans gold.. I throw away what most would cry to see actually just because I only will mess with the biggest and best and I don't need more and don't have the time to play with the little nugs... I do have a question on how much a bud, one that the hairs mostly have turned in, will continue to grow, add weight, get how much bigger, in last 2 weeks if left.. Would be killer if cut today but want to see how big they will get, trics are not amber just yet but expect to see that in next week or so... Thanks..
