So the consensus I'm hearing is 500cfm per 1000w, use cold air, but use speed control to prevent condensation on light tube. In case any one is wondering, I call this style "Open Colosseum". I just couldn't bring myself to pick just 1 side of any plant, so I started thinking...A majority of...

I have a question. I am setting up a similar room, (10x9x7) using 6 1000W hps (2 Horizontal, 4 vertical). Assuming it's air tight, (90% reflective waterproof rubber like roof paint all around) and I am running 250cfm over EACH bulb, would this be enough air volume? And if I am venting the "Bulb...

OK! You are ready for my bovine CO2 generator "High yield kit". Use caution when installing the gas mask bong, as the cow may not like the color at first.... Toasted rofls!!!

Dude, I've used a box fan on it's back in the middle of the garden, elevated by cinder blocks for circulation. Not saying I'm proud, but it worked for a small grow.

Green alternative= A bovine placed on a tread mill, with the mouth angled towards your plants, but just out of chewing distance. Add another cow for every 500 CF3! If inverse square law dictates a ridiculously high lumen level at the horns, a sun hat may be added to prevent sun burns =P

My guess is Iron toxicity from the high PH, as Typhoon said. It would explain the sludge. Hydro should really be below 6, as a rule of thumb. High pH reduces Fe availability while acid increase Fe availability. The high pH effect is increased in hydroponic systems. One factor in this effect is...

No. You could cut back to 18 hours without sending them into flower mode, but I always run 24 with fluorescent lights. But when you want them to flower, cut back to 12. I have found that 24 hrs of darkness when switching to 12/12 hastens the flowering hormones, but this is my experience.

Sorry, forgot to mention intake temp is huge. My air intake will sit at 40 degrees. The higher the intake temp, the more air your exhaust fan has to move. You just need to fire it up and check it after 30 mins. Using a Temp gun is handy to check foliage temp. Auto parts house has 'em for like 20...

Assuming you are venting the hoods outside the environment, no worries. I would consider upping the vent fan, you might have trouble getting the 8" love zone without foliage heat. I will be running 250cfm per bulb as an example, and the math dictates my 1,000w hps will sit about 18"-20" from the...

IMO, mirrors are a poor choice UNLESS you are using PRIMARILY VERTICAL bulbs. As the light travels down, it sheds lumens. If the spectrum is redirected with no interference, it's going towards the floor, and has to travel the same distance to reach the area under the light. VERTICAL bulbs can...

I've experienced shite growth at Temps under 10 degrees C. Stay above 10C with a space heater if possible. Otherwise production will be stunted.

I started with GH's General Organics line. Super easy to use and cheap. All organic as well =) Runs well in NFT's too! Finish with bird shit for num num buds.

There was this stupid parasitic species that thought they had shit all figured out. Then they died off. The End.

Trash,trash,trash. If you're hoovering the power (10,000+ Watts) the key is to establish this usage as soon as you move in. Then the program shows normal usage. I can't count how many people put 30 empty bags of soil out for collection...(Facepalm) No warrant needed for trash.

On a more serious note, ditch the MJ plants for tomato clones. If he asks about it, show him the tomatoes. Return to MJ after the inspection. Buy a tomato plant every spring and offer him a "clone" for the summer =)

You mentioned you wanted out of the lease? Tear down the sides and show him your show! Then explain your plans for the front room for flowering. You'll be in a new crib in no time! =P

I don't use nutrients to germ seeds. Just distilled water. Your seedlings require very little nutrients while establishing the tap root. If you like, use a seaweed tea or clonex to encourage root growth. Don't worry about foliage during the first week or two. After the roots are established...

Yikes! Back from the Twilight Zone. Sorry. Shut down the garden because of logistics. Nothing legal. Getting ready to set up a 4,000W hps flower room with adjoining Clone/Mother closet. Funds are available now =)

Anything outside the program is larfie.
