Not too fancy really, they actually work fucking awesome. The water takes around 85% of the heat away...because all they really are is tankless water heaters that you don't pipe out the exhaust. I will never carry another bottle of co2 again :)

Check out this yummy mango kush out... https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/415395-random-drool-worthy-bud-pic.html

should have never got rid of that strain. :(

**nice :) its not best to use just the last weeks of bloom.. nahh, when did the sun just turn off her uvb's during the day?? ...exactly.
---just use this interval to start with::: 1hr on Every 4hrs :)
----you can use those bulbs w/ your hps setup (throw MH in there) to make the spectrum complete.
--never during the dark period
------add dextrose/sugars to ur feed.. they gonna need it with the extra uvb you'll be throwing at it. (fyi-- coconut extract/enzyme helps reduce the uvb stress)

The Reptile Ballast pictured was £28.00 and so was the UV Tube, so a total of £56.00 BUT !!! I bought a cheapy 24" Flurescent fixture from Home-Base for £10.00 and used that instead and I made my own reflector out of a drain-pipe and silver duct-tape £6.00....

So really I spent UV Tube £28.00, Flurescent fixture £10.00 and Drain-pipe £6.00 a total of £44.00 ... I already had the duct-tape :)

Hope that helps dude - STELTHY :leaf:

Here is another view of my cab with the UV-B light installed.. my Grow Space is approx 5' tall 2' deep and 4.5' wide, the cab is bigger but thats my actual grow space.. my whole cab is lined with Mylar at the moment (until I upgrade to ORCA) Is this UV light fixture enough, just right or too much I only grow 2 DWC plants at a time, sometimes I SCROG and sometimes I let the ladies grow big n bushy, cheers - STELTHY :leaf:

If you won your home and have a dedicated grow space, it is THE BOMB for sure.

See the last post about the pump. The new pump I got works phenomenal.

Your looking at probably $300 total for the setup. heater $160 pump $100 pipes and fitting to tun NG to the room (or a propane tank) $50.

It costs me next to nothing to run it and its fully fully fully hands off automatic

Do you know of any popular Dextrose/Sugar's by brand name.. that I could go and buy ?? Do they alter the PH at all ?? I've heard of using Sea-weed extract as a foliar spray ; would this be any good, mind-you we're not really supposed to mist in flower.. please elaborate and I'll go on a mission to get the right stuff - STELTHY :leaf:

*--dex/sugs dont alter pH :) , sea-weed is good for foliar, and yes.. i wouldnt recommend 'misting' late in bloom :) feed the sea-weed via roots.

(try gettin some tropical organics: cococat, it works (imo), got the dextrose online thru bodybuilding/health site :) --check you PM later for the sugar(s) list

--cheers
