    Help picking out a grow tent, just recieved my HID lights.

    Cool tube really do suck. The air cooled reflectors are better but in my 4x4 tents I dont need either Tent doesnt heat up that much with 600 watt open hoods. I have bought many tents and found the plastic corners are fine as they are hardened pvc and I have never had one break in 20 years using...

    CO2 and dark period??

    Co2 is for lights on time only. Co2 is heavier then air so you need fans down low to blow it back. Using CO2 you still have to do air exchanges several times a day lights on and off. So you have to have fans bring new air in and old air out. I like my night air exchange all night so fans and...

    Understanding ppm in dwc

    Your ppm is all dependant on your nutes. Every nute has different ppms. I run Fox Farm and I run anywhere from a low of 1200 ppm up to 2000 ppm. Your nutes feed schedueled will tell you the baseline amounts and what ppm and ec should be. Keep your ph around 5.5 -5.8 max. Use your nute makers...

    Really need help from fellow members, not quite sure what to do

    Get a sulphur burner it will kill molds. Watch your humidity so if needed add a dehumidifier. Female plants in flower can get gland sac which look like swollen teardrops right at the nodes.

    Led grow issues

    If this is an led light then you want it within a inch or 2 of tops of plants as should be no heat from the led diodes. Yodazherb must be referring to hid lights as 16-18 inches is way to far for leds since they have very poor penetration and that would be a waste. What is the ph of your water...

    Light keeps cutting out???

    I have had this happen before and it was a bad mogul socket in the hood. When it ran and heated up the aluminum inside expanded lost contact and shut the light off. Then like you a restart had it come back on. Didnt always happen but I swapped the mogul socket in the hood and never happened...

    At 30 days full feeding should be going. Make sure your phing the water before it goes in and check what the ph on the run off is.

    Anyone running vipar led's ????

    They seem healthy but small and lacking bulk compared to HID lighting at 6 weeks. At 6 weeks in aero its about harvest time but buds would be way bigger and fuller. I think leds have a place and may get better but I have yet to see any led grow come close to HID lighting. I do love new induction...

    Price of Weed in the Chicago area?

    Depends.. Now is that bulk commercial or bulk medical grade? Commercial if you grab 100 lbs is about $400 delivered if you go get it yourself its about $100. Good medical grade is about $2500 an lb for 10 or less. I know in city limits the will pay more then in the burbs since much more outside...

    Whats Wrong With My 23 cola girl

    I would wonder what the ph is on this . What is the ph of the water going in and what is the ph coming out the pot? Switching from Fox Farm to Genral wasnt a great move. It really late to be transplanting shouldnt be done in flower really unless an emergency as it will hurt yeild and slow...

    Water level ??

    If its your first time doing hydro or aero I would say setup a very forgiving flood and drain system. This way no worries. You just set your timer for the floods and just check in and maintain the ph and ppm levels per your nutes charts. It will give you a good idea of what you will need for...

    2014 BBQ planning?.......

    I know 1 day event kills off anyhone not in real driving distance as thats a ton of money if you have to fly in and out for a day and if anyone stays longer then hotel and such. Im hoping Illinois will legalize recreational use in next couple years. If that happens then we could have a fall or...

    How many people would you screw over to stay out of prison and

    Its a shame so many said they would snitch to save themselves. My take on this is jail and prison suck but its not the end of the world. A ten year sentence means you can be out in 6 years not that bad. I know my people will take their charges and do their time without doubt. They and I have...

    How do I regulate humidity?

    Leaving the windows open may be your issue. Your allowing outside moisture into the area so your loosing all control of the humidity you would have with it closed. Im not sure of the grow room size but in like a 4x8 tent 4 fans is minimal in a room 8x8 your gonna be looking at 4 to just move the...

    Is this setup viable??? (Negative Pressure)

    You could just use 5 mil black plastic, then get a roll of velcro with sticky backing and then so simple stick on zipper packs. You put the sticky backed velcro on the ceiling to "frame" the areas. Then cut the plastic to length as it will be the walls. Put the other velcro side on the edge of...

    How do I regulate humidity?

    A simple dehumidifier will keep humidity in check. You also need very good air movement and air exchanges. I assume no co2 usage. You can also use flower hardener additive to help dense up buds but good air flow and air exchange will help greatly
