    Grow Tent Temperature

    temp under the light is also measuring radiant heat which is not as dangerous as ambient heat. You can get accurate temps on the tops with a laset temp probe, but that isn't necessary. If the heat outside the direct light goes over 75. it's getting too warm. Plan on planty of AC when it gets hot...

    Enough light??

    It's enough for now but as the plant gets larger, you would improve yield with more light.

    DIY DWC 5 Gallon bucket grow

    I'm all in favor of helping the plant and optimization. But there is much disagreement over what that constitutes. For example, I've never seen any persuasive evidence that res changes matter much. I think a great deal of what gets touted as optimization and "if you don't do this you're not a...

    35% h2o2

    I still don't see the need for it. And it will definitely kill all the bacteria and anything else, as will 3% h2o2. You just use a couple tablespoons per gallon instead of a couple drops.

    how do you clean your OS air diffuser?

    3% h2o2 is just fine and I get mine for 88 cents a quart.

    Please i need help lots of confusion

    The brown might just be discoloration from nutes, or not. I say when in doubt use h2o2 and kill everything in there that might be a problem.

    Humidity Problem in 4x2 tent

    What's the humidity outside the tent? One possibility is to lose the tent. It seems like only about half the people who use them really need them when they stop and think about it.

    What is hydroponics

    Don't go out and spend a lot of money on some hyped system. Start with simple dwc and build it yourself. That way you learn how and why it works, and you are in a position of knowledge to expand in whatever direction you decide to go. Don't be influenced by ads.

    Heat problems in dwc bucket system?

    In order: 1. use an air cooled reflector 2. use coolers instead of buckets 3. put ice bottle directly in res - in a cooler, one will work for 24 hrs 4. add more air conditioning 5. be a sucker and buy a chiller

    Hello, I am new!

    How long do you figure it could grow in this clearing in the woods before someone comes across it and takes it? or tracks it back to you?

    DWC Design Improvement?

    I've used expensive Boss Hog diffusers and compared to good airstones, I see no difference. Maybe smaller bubbles are better, but it's having enough that is important.

    How to measure wet weight

    There's no point in weighing when wet. What can you possibly learn from it? X% weight loss after drying is just an estimate and will vary wildly. I never weigh anything until it has had at least a 30 day cure after drying.

    help! seedlings falling over

    You're using too much nute too early. If you want to keep them upright, cut a toilet paper roll to the right length and put it over the seedling so it can lean on it.

    Blue Mystic Auto-Fem Grow #1

    I got 5 of those seeds. One didn't germ, two didn't sprout, and one just died inexplicably. The one that is left sounds like yours. It is 7 weeks old, but it will look fine and an hour later it will be all droopy for no apparent reason. Then it will bounce back, then it will droop. The buds are...

    Higher quality strains

    Well, you have two photoperiod and one autoflower. There's an issue right there because 2 will need 12/12 light and one much more. I grow photoperiod northern lights from Nirvana almost exclusively. It is a great strain for a new grower - old and stable genetics, very forgiving and doesn't get...
