Alright I switched over to the aroura innovations. I adjusted ph before I put in the nutes. I use the simple liquid test kit. Because the nutes are so dark, I can't really determine the ph after I added them. Do nutes change the ph? I tested in the yellow before, then after I added nutes it was pink (which isn't on the scale lol).
Thank you @SpitXFire. I may have to add some ph up then. I guess if it was pink then that means it was dropped (pink is almost a red hue). My tap water comes out of the faucet at 7.0. I may be luck enough to have to only add nutes and not any ph down.
For those who grow cfl. Are the 125 watt and 150 watt bulbs good? I wanna stick to cfl but if tgere are good led setups I'd grab one just don't know about all that blue and red shit. Just lmk. Much respect.

Depends on water alkalinity as well, you may not need to add pH up, when in doubt mix and let sit to stabilize overnight. After adding nutes mine drops to 5.5 from ~8 but it swings up to 6-6.2 after 24hrs or so
True... I did notice that, usually after adjusting three days in a row after I change all the waterms and freshen it all up it will stabilize for the rest of the week. It usually rises the first few days. @SpitXFire

I have a 250 watt hps for flower in a closet. I was reading your thread. Is there a certain texture and density you are looking for? I use fluorescent for veg, and cfl for seedlings. Those 23w ones you were talking about. I think you will do pretty decent with those 150 watt cfls. You want to look at the lumen outputs too.
Also... this is my first grow also, and one thing I am learning real fast is to slow down. Slow down on how much you change things throughout 1 grow. It is awesome to fill you head with the bazillion and 1 tips that everyone has, but keep your grow simplified and don't try everything at once. My first plant I'm harvesting is sad (in soil). My second plant it ready for flower for the size of my closet, and this one in flower will barely pull a quarter. New plant will pull over 2 oz.
You will hear this alot, "what's best for one person, may not be best for another person." I can't grow soil. It takes more patience then dwc, so I am killing it in dwc.

:eek: The EER on those is terrible!!! you will defo love the split!
@chillywilly Looking good! Looks to be Jammin'! @FlyinJStable Really nice pics man! Looks like they are really happy ladies. @Power OG Nice lookin nug as well there! cookies.....Is one I wonder most if it would respond like bull :D @Lazerus00 Sorry to hear about the gnats. Yeah those buggers will mess up the roots when they go nuts. (been there lol) @THCdurk I guess @tobh mentioned in your thread and I would agree; what about a 150w hps? Compacts are often around 65-70 Lu/w. If you compare any HPS size smaller than 600w; all are below 100 Lu/W, excluding the 150. It is actually 100 Lu/w (113 Lu/W if you get EU 100v Bulb / ballast) and can be picked up real cheap (local hardware security or sun system). If cost isn't a factor; you may want to do LED's. @Toaster79 could probably help there if he's got any sleep yet.:p
Updates:
ok to help if needed, HERE's the previous post in this thread with comparisons.
To quantify the yields I suppose it should be brought across. Ok, so if we give my floor a 3 plant "handicap" (I.e. don't count 3 newest); then a yield of 50 per equates to 1 GPW (45 if you do count all). Guess, since it's perpetual and part is not full; I don't think it's quite the same as a batch floor. Though I know it's still how to figure perpetual, so I dock myself 3 lol. Since I run a non-sealed, negative air system (continual exhaust), without CO2 and only 600w per in a 4x4 section; I assume 1 gpw would be about max??
This headband below and the next fuel to come were both "hold backs". The past run with each of these was from a "bean" not a cut. These were cuts taken and held in my little 16oz cups (3 months) until 5 days before flowering; up-potted into the 3 liter. In general, if I run a "hold back" I don't typically expect to yield quite as much as an "average"; since they are in those small cups so long. Outside of these 2, everything else has been / will be "Groomed" properly.
First pic here is a quick shot of 3 larger pieces from that headband previously shown (pheno 1 of 2, first spoiler)
The first headband of this pheno (from a bean) grossed right at 50. This run, a "hold back", but got Urea (original not modified formula); grossed 51.6. I'm definitely surprised there as it responded the least.
Other pics are just updating that one bull I've been posting through its' flower. Pic on the left (6 wks) was also shown previously (link above) and compared to 4wks. Pic on the right was taken monday @ 7 weeks. Normally on NO3, a decent percentage of the pistils would be turning now. Just starting to begin purpling. (the set for this week was timed based off of a fuel; I believe I was a couple days late w/ urea switchout on this one; we'll have to see.)
Oh Yeah. The bull shown in the previous linked thread (last spoiler right pic) and the bull whose tops were used in the "bullrider comparison"; were finally weighed. 45 and 51.

Peace...cw...
@MGRox I just don't know how to wire to ballast and can I use threw plants whole life cycle? And would it get to hot in a closet. I don't have ventilation just small fan
I am definitely not ready for n.w.o. I have one pistol for protection I keep in my nightstand. Won't let anyone take my family away. I also have about 9000 calories worth of m.r.e. to be able to hit the road without stopping if I have too. I am minimally prepared. I hope it really doesn't happen. I would like to just continue growing in peace @chillywilly
