    First Organic Grow with Full Fluorescent Lighting

    If any one stumbles onto this journal thread, I'm sorry to say the closet was shut down, and I let my friend take over for now. In the next few weeks, I will be starting a new thread, entitled,"The Reactor". I will be using PRIMARILY vertical 600 Watt hps bulbs, open, with a 1000 watt MH on the...

    FIRE! Whoa... I don't think it will be a fire hazard. Any more so than my house is now, unless that's what you meant. I'm more scared about the room. Horror story from NM, 2 kids find a grow room in their friends house one night. They think the gas is No2. So they close the door, and pop the...

    There are clearly two issues. 1) The characteristics of the cultivar. (I.E. Cannabis vs Tomatoes, Sativa vs indica, etc.) 2) The characteristics of an indoor garden. (I.E. condensation, temp, RH, ppm, hydro-delivery system, Etc.) While it is true, only the worst monsters born from H1 breading...

    Blue lab industrial truncheon meter. Takes AAA batteries, adjusts to any temp, and you can stir your water with it!

    My original plan was to introduce the cold air along the entire length of the floor, and exhaust it through a vent where the ceiling meets the wall on the other side. Should I introduce it from the ceiling? I'm directing it using PVC piping, so it will go any where I want, plus I use pipe...

    Right on. I think I'll go bare bulb. I'll save money, and light more efficiently, given I can control the temps. Fan will be on a thermostat (digital) which controls heat in dark cycle as well. It's been my experience that ventilation and light are the most underestimated factors inside. So my...

    Quick shot in the dark... has any one actually measured the breeze it takes to sweep the heat away from an open bulb 600? If someone had like inches of bend from a paper plate a certain distance away from the fan? Or any comparison? I'm trying to nail down the design spec's, and I need to come...

    I would flush a little more, and your RH could probably... JK, that looks NUMMY!

    Excellent points. Most are sitting on a yellow pad in my own writing from a couple weeks ago! :mrgreen: This is a concern which, if my model succeeds, would need to be addressed. I'm leaning towards immobile folks, because the shear logistics of loading into the van, finding close parking...

    Hypothetically speaking, if you could start all over what would you do differently???

    My advice would be fresh air. Bare vert is the way to the promised cola. I am working on a 4200 watt vert bare bulb now. I was going to go with cool tubes, but I think I will try bare first. Fresh air, and tons of it are required if the outside air is cool. Otherwise, yea A/C and tubes. P.S...

    Ya. Sorry. Maybe microwave the...shit. Sorry again. I know you are seriously trying to figure this out. I'm so stoned. My next thought was a heat mat under the seeds, hooked up to a environmental controller set at whatever, with the probe jammed between the mat and the seeds, but I'll save you...

    My point is if you are poor, you are more aware of programs to help the poor. If your rich, you are more aware of other entities by nature. Because they are part of the culture you are immersed in. You googled it. A disabled american will tell you where the nearest office is! :-( That's all...

    " I can go online, right now, and find information on both of those programs, and how to apply. I was not magically born with this information, nor did a friend read my mind, and tell me where to go for food stamps." This is what i meant. You've never seen a commercial for it. Example. You...

    On paint, I use a rubber roof paint. No tar. Built in fungicide/mold inhibitor. Seals the room, and stretches 700%, so no rips/wrinkles. http://www.amesresearch.com/_maximum-stretch.html 90-98% reflective. Know it. Love it. On the OP's topic, I would have planned my grow areas a little more. I...
