My first grow was CFL and the reason I switch to HID is because of the small yeild CLF gave me. Heat is produce by wattage, so that 250w cfl is outputting +250w of heat, also a 400w hps will output +400w of heat. What I recommend is to buy HPS but make sure the ballast is dimmable. I wanted...

Since you are going for LED go with a 6in fan, I have one and yes they are loud. About +70dB, louder then my tv. (the box of the fan said it should be doing only 52dB) So I needed to get a fan controller, this one...

What grow is this of yours? What kind of water are you using? It could be temp related? What I am thinking since your EC is high, it could be a nute burn? Also I see you are using the same brand nutes as me. I am in my first week of flowering myself right now, and my PH I keep at 5.8 and my...

I just build an aero cloner, and I am already starting to see tiny roots on some of the clones 3 days in. I read that some people put aquarium heater in there, but I am having success without one. Running the pump put heat into the water also. I run a 290gph pump misting 15min on 45mins off...

DWC was pretty much drill a holes in a rubbermaid tote. My Flood table is little more work since its 2 parts, Res + table. Over all it was pretty easy to build. Just took time in planning. My table is very similar to this DIY: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=70262...

My first grow was a DWC bubble bucket over all I liked it and had successfully harvest with it. Its a good place to start. This time around I switch ebb and flow because the main fault with DWC is water temps with and ebb and flow table water temps don't matter. I run my table; 6in netpots...

Can't really see the numbers in the pic: The SCROG net is at 30 inches. Reflector is at 37 inches Tent inside is total 57 inch. My plans for this plant is clone it either this week or next week (never cloned, going to build a cloner) 1-3 cutting. Then switch it to flower. With my space is...

Been growing in that tent for almost 1 week now, and from the looks of the the plant likes it and so do I. I have a carbon filter ready to install but I am waiting for the plant to grow a little before installing the filter. The filter itself is really heavy maybe even more heavier then the...

My first grow was DWC, I liked it but water temps were always little on the high side ~75-78, usually room temp. So I switched to ebb and flow method I use ~2x3 table and I have the plant in 6in net pots filled with hydroton (the plant itself is in a 1in rockwool). The table is covered with...

Use this chart for knowing where to keep your ph. http://www.420magazine.com/gallery/data/500/Nutrient_Chart2.gif I keep my PH strictly 5.8, but I run a ebb and flow table. Your plant will let you know when its not happy, that is either a deficiencies (not getting enough) or a lockout (can't...

Update! I bought a radio with am/fm to make sure of what was going on. What I found out is it produces some interference but its only few inches close to the ballast itself. Since the ballast was plugged into the same line that the TV, cable, and pc was running off, it was causing...

Here is what I did, I changed the outlet which my ballast was plugged into, and now I don't see anymore RF interference. I live in a apartment complex and I don't want the cable company knocking at my door because of the interference. Now I am even more confused, because does the ballast...

What I am trying to understand is, this ballast Apollo brand specifically is giving me unbearable RF interference. Is it because it's cheaply made or do all digital ballast give some level of RF interference. My situation I can buy a higher quality digital ballast or I can buy a magnetic...

Its brand new, got it this week.

I agree, you get what you pay for. I read I can make a faraday cage around it, but I rather not try to fix something like this. What ballast brands are recommended?

I am pretty sure this has bad news written all over it, and I am ready to return it, but I want to see what other people say. I have a 600w Apollo ballast http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-400w-600w-1000w-HPS-MH-Digital-Ballast-Grow-Light-/180860068054?pt=US_Hydroponics&var=&hash=item6fc83d01b3...

Your setup looks really nice, and you have a similar system to me. You could help me out. Here is what I received. Should I return my reflector and get the same on you have? My main concern is heat, the tent will be in my living space. (I am just so confused on what brand tent to buy lol)...

I just picked up my 600w grow light system. (They have local pickup!) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apollo-Horticulture-600-Watt-600w-MH-HPS-Grow-Lights-Digital-System-Set-/171015859655?ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:1120 I was talking to the guys at the warehouse who sold me the lights, and they told me...

Thanks man, yah I did a ton of research before settling into a ebb and flow system. This is what my system looks like. The top part, flood table, bought it from home depot, its a concrete mixing tub. $5.75...

The plant I have no idea how old it is, I got it 4 days ago. I am vegging with my old system. Its two 42watt CFL lights (I flowered from seed with those lights my last grow) This is what I looks like. I guess this strain is a lot more heat sensitive then my last plant. I opened up my...
