I'm not sure why you're using a drain to waste feeding schedule, although those schedules seem made to be broken anyway. I use Humboldt's drain to waste schedule, but I only drain once in the whole life cycle - I just keep adding it in. I doubt if two cfls are raising your res temp. If your...

You'll need to add more light soon.

The output on an AC reflector would be about a foot from a wall. The hose would need to make a right angle turn down the wall, and then another right angle turn out through the wall. Where would the fan go?

You are being very ambitious for the lighting you plan. Remember, it's all a tradeoff. I would plan for your grow to be contained within a 2x2 quadrant of that tent. Veg all three plants but before you go to 12/12, cull the smallest one. Don't veg long, you don't have the lights for any big boy...

There are a number of reasons for putting each plant in its own bucket, one of them is root binding.

What's the temperature in the room? Sounds like you need to get that down with AC.

If you look at each bulb it will have a number followed by K. Your bulbs are probably between 5500 and 6500K. For flowering you want 2700-3500K. ps I have tried to flower with T5s with little success, they just lack penetration. Also, there is no known reason not to veg with 24 hr light, not...

I veg 24 hrs because I have seen nothing other than anecdotal evidence that depriving them of light during this time has any advantage. Show me and I'll change.

I suppose that's true but I don't see how anyone can NOT check their grow at least twice a day. I'm always looking at mine.

lol at "blessed"

I got two decent sized plant out of an aerogarden once, only a gallon of water. Two gallons of water per plant in dwc seems enough unless you are growing a tree. I'm nhot sure why more than three gallons per plant isn't just a waster of nutes. I've seen huge plants grown in a 5 gal bucket with 3...

Websites often list characteristics of a strain and include whether or not it is "medical." What do they mean by that? Who decides? I thought all of it was potentially medical. I even see strains that I think are almost identical, and one will say it is medical and that other that it is not. Is...

Not for redistributing the wealth eh? ;-) I'm thinking of a new setup with a 2x3 (or even 2x4) array of dwc buckets for a total of 6 or 8 plants. I have a place where I can easily put up a double bar overhead that would hold a 600w hps sideways so it would be easy to slide from one end of the...

You're right, I put the wrong link up. The link below is for the same thing I described in my earlier post, except these are green leds, same price. Sorry for the oversight and again, they work great! http://www.dealextreme.com/p/1400mcd-led-flashlight-keychain-green-light-10-pack-12149

What are you going to put them in? Is this soil or hydro? You can always prune or semi-lollipop them if they get too bushy. Will there be enough room for you to have access to each plant as they get larger? Even though they might be the same strain, some will be taller than others so you'll have...

Who has tried moving an overhead hps from position to position? Not necessarily automated, I'm thinking of moving it around manually some but am unsure what kind of schedule to use. One position for one day? 6hrs? 4 hrs?

These work great. They have a switch that keeps light on and easy to hold in your mouth to do a quick job. $4.50 for a pack of 10 shipped? Can't be beat. http://www.dealextreme.com/p/22000mcd-bright-white-led-keychain-flashlights-green-casing-10-pack-20299

You have to bring fresh air in and you should have enough circulation that you can see leaves moving at least slightly. Why can't you leave the doors open wide except at dark time? My grow is in a closet and I leave the doors open when lights are on and I have a total of four fans positioned to...

LOL "who" wants to argue? And "who" can't show us a source that says over 70 is dangerous? This is like the nimrods who think pH "has" to be at 5.8

There is always the nickle and dime stuff that adds up. I think if you don't have 500 you should wait until you do. Not 500 initial outlay maybe, but you'll spend more during the first month.
