Thanks for posting Kitty. I'm very happy with the Nirvana seeds I have grown so far. I know they aren't killer strains, but they are easy to grow, produce nice harvests and make good smoke!subscribed.

Lights go on in one hour for the first day of flower!

hey man i love your grow. it seems real simple set up. i want to try a ebb and flow setup. i bought the pump than realized i needed to get a tent so im low on cash and stuck to soil. i looked over this grow and your last one. you got a nice harvest there. idk i need to research more b4 trying any non soil grow. im on my first one now.

so you have 2 power bills? that would be good..... I dont think I can swing my whole grow room on. I have 15 amp breakers, and I have fille up the 2 upstairs (except for laundry room). Hoping to have enough juice from the laundry room to swing (2) 400ws.. any ideas?

Thanks for sticking around. I do have a tri-meter, but it is a pain in the ass to keep calibrated. I bought it when I had to leave town for a few months, and my wife had to check the reservoir. Made it easier for her.

How much did the meter run ya? how do you calibrate? Having 2 meters would make things easier it seems.
I only had 20 amps going to my garage and I paid an electrician $450 to give me two more 20 amp circuits running out there.
Not cheap, but not killer, either, especially now that I'm fairly certain that power won't be an issue.
Was a pain in the ass breaking my two tents down, but that big of a deal.
If you're interested, see my journal for more info.

I did my first grow in hydro. The ebb and flow is a very simple system to maintain, and it gives good harvests. Mix some new nutes every week and check ppm and pH daily. A little pH down and tap water will keep your nutrients in line.
Good luck with your grow!

I've had height issues with all of my grows, and I needed to maintain an even canopy.

Unless you know a cool electrician, I think you're stuck with extension cords. You can cause a lot of problems if you don't know what you are doing...

After my discount, it was under $200.00. Measures pH, ppm and temp of your reservoir. As my chiller already has a temperature guage, I should haqve only gotten the pH, ppm version...

Aaah..... were you using the aquarium type PH test kits before?

No. I have a pH pen, and the ppm truncheon. I didn't trust my wife to take care of them properly while I was away, so I put the Tri Meter in the res. The problem with them is that because they are immersed in the nutes 24 hours a day, you have to clean and calibrate them constantly. Maybe I'll put the Tri Meter in later today so you can see how it compares to my pen and truncheon.
The electrician doesn't necessarily need to be "cool"; you just have to have a valid lie for why you need more power.
I told him I was turning my garage into a "man cave" with a fridge and AC, so they each needed their own 20amp circuit.
If you're doing it in bedrooms, just say that you're not going to be running your heat/AC throughout the house anymore and are just going to have space heaters/portable ACs in each room for when people are in there - they'd each necessitate their own 20amp line, and voila, you're golden.

I would rather keep as many people out of it as possible though. I think I may stick with extension cords for now. I think I will go buy a breaker box in case I do need to do this, or use it somewhere in the future. I am 100% legal in my growing, maybe a little unethical due to location but whatever. Unethical meaning, my landlord would probably like to be aware of something like this before doing it, but theres a risk in telling him and having to move.....
