Most Track-Lights I have seen use funky little 25 or 50 watt "Hi-Intensity" bulbs (whatever that means) - not only are they unsuitable for growing, but they have a "Miniature" sized screwbase (about the size of your "pinkie"). I imagine some or them use a standard sized (E26) screw-in base, that...

Yeah! You can run your lights 24-7 while in the Veg stage. But the controversy goes on, as to whether that's really a good idea or not.

I would suggest some good old Steer Manure, actually "Gardner and Bloome's" Farmyard Blend, if you can get it! Farmyard blend is just what it sounds like, a variety of farmyard manures blended together - it's really good shit! Manure is fairly balanced (NPK-wise), plus, it is cheap and...

The "T Number" (T5, T8, T12), tells the diameter of the tube. Each of these numbers represents how many 1/8" units wide the diameter of the tube is. For example: A T5 tube is 5/8" diameter. A T8 tube is 1" diameter. A T12 tube is 1 1/2" diameter. These numbers are approximate, for various...

When used by themselves, incandescent lights are a waste of time, money and effort! As far as growing is conserned, they are a real piece of shit! But - give Paul Harvey a friggin' break and hear - - - - "Wait for it!" - - - - the rest of the story. Quartz Halogen lights are heavy in the "Far...

I think this has nothing, whatesoever, to do with growing wed!

When all else fails, you might want to look here: https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/ Oddly enough, there is a whole sub-forum dedicated to "How to's" on just about everything you could imagine. You'd be surprised what you might find in there!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: most of the questions in the "General Growing" forum belong on "Newbie Central". And most (at least 1/2) of the stuff on "Advanced Techniques" should be in the "General Growing" section. The question is, is it better to cater to a bunch of "Newbies...

what causes a plant to reveg? Interupting the light cycle so that it gets less than about 12 hours of uninterupted darkness per "day".

There are still 3 "camps" on this: 1. Most of the "Devout" LED supporters seem to be either sellers of LED's, or people who want to rationalize their investment. Sorry, I don't mean to upset anyone! Yes, they do seem to work pretty well - but I haven't been "Blown Away" yet. TIME WILL TELL! 2...

That's an intrigueing idea! Basically the Patient would be providing free "Room & Board" to the Caregiver, in exchange for his knowledge and duties as a "Live-in Ganga Guru"! Here, in California, a "MM Caregiver" (not neccesarily a "MM Patient" theirself) can be "Officially Authorized" by the...

Not a problem, you're more than welcome!

Right on! I'm looking for an outfit like "1,000 Bulbs", that is located somewhere in SoCal - nothing makes my day like saving a few bucks on shipping (on top of low prices).

Yes, oddly enough! Excessive passive intake areas are subject to external drafts and normal room circulation that could interfer with the controlled air flow that you are trying to create inside the tent. Refer to my answer on your other thread. My basic info, on the other thread, came from a...

Word! For the best thermo-dynamic air flow, both fans should be "near to" the center of the "Cieling"(right above your light hood), but since you already have one mounted in a corner, the other one should work ok in the opposite corner. The reason why 2 exhaust fans work better is simple if...

You probably have "more stuff" plugged in, in the new room, than you had in the old room. Sounds like a simple circuit overload. Maybe you can re-arrange some of the electrical load, or move back to the other room.

It's not just the ballast. HPS bulbs want a ceramic (fireproof) screw base to fit into because of the 4-5 thousand volt "starting pulse". No home should burn down before its' time!

Even if you deal with the extra hassle of watering by removing the mylar completely and replacing it every time. And even if there was some reasonable amount of light to be reflected (to the "underside" of the leaves, by the way!). It's still not a good idea! You would have mold and mildew and...

Dude! You either need a smaller tent, or a bigger light! You are below "Poverty Level" for absolute minimum lighting. 3,000 lumens/sq. ft. = "Just barely adequate results". 5,000 lumens/sq. ft. = "Realistic results". 7,000 - 10,000 lumens/sq. ft. = "The kind of results you have wet dreams about!".
