Hey S&C, that hood in the pics is actually cheap and nasty one I modded to make a bit smaller... google 'growlite og hood' to see what I'm on about, it's what I would like to move to if, in the opinion of experienced, it would be beneficial...

S&C; But how about the new Growlite OG Hood? I'm looking into getting one of these for my micro 2x3' scrog setup but finding it hard to get peoples opinion of whether this hood will be beneficial at very close range to the plant canopy.. I've got a horiz air cooled hood now but aiming for a...

+1 for the sticky traps, they also work very well for whitefly. For me, on top of sticky traps I've always used neem oil, mixed with a small amount of pyrethrum (1/6) and dish soap to dissolve the neem. I spray around base of plants for at least 7 days. Pyrethrum is a great on-contact killer...

Hey CS, IMO, the best inline fans are 'mix-flow' fans, designed for mainly residential use when ducting air around houses. These fans run much quieter than centrifugal fans, are much more efficient, and deal well with pressures (i.e. pulling through a carbon filter, etc). Check out this...

Hey OG! Even 250w HPS is overkill, in my opinion in this sort of space you should consider T5 fluros, or stick with the CFL's, and increase the reflection in the area.. any HPS/MH is going to throw out alot of heat.. if you wanna go 250-400w you need to move to a bigger grow area, 400w in 2sq...

Hi there, I've done alot of research into this, and you can do it either way, though some would say you shouldn't... both ways have their pro's and con's - however my decision based on all the avail info was that your better off sucking through the filter, it's been made to be sucked through...

Hey LX, sorry missed your pre-release testing, anyhow - upgrade installed and working fine, not that I've loaded much data in (just one plant for testing) as the grow isn't started yet, the data merged into the new version no worries. Keep up the good work! TTK

LX, Good one mate, all working now! Only now have to click 'run' as 'the publisher can't be verified' but that's no worries - thx again! TTK

HERB.IQ.0.6.5.NEW.INSTALL Yep .net installed, tried things like compatibillity mode and admin mode... the software frame loads up then it crashes... 'HERB.IQ has stopped working', a bit strange :( Tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times too...

Hey LX, tried starting the prog up and it just crashes!? Windows 7 Pro here.. any ideas? Problem signature: Problem Event Name: CLR20r3 Problem Signature 01: herb.iq.exe Problem Signature 02: 0.6.5.0 Problem Signature 03: 4daf72f9 Problem Signature 04: mscorlib...

Quite amusing, I suggest you listen to WeeGogs with regards to those particular comments! Anyhow, if in doubt, take out the carbon, clean it, dry it out and try it again - like I said, a respected member cleans it with distilled water and reuses it so why not give it a go and let us know how...

I don't know much about carbon, however during one of my recent researching adventures, I read a *respected* forum member (maybe on another forum) say that they clean their carbon and re-use it 2-3 times, the trick was to used distilled water (ONLY) and throughly wash/agitate/rinse the carbon...

TDND, Nope, no cheap way to light up the area like you want - even using large CFL's will cost a bit (the globes cost some) - however with larger CFL's you can use the sockets you bought and wire straight to the mains, if you flat broke why not do a micro grow using small CFL's? I've seen some...

Hi TDND, As a 'general rule of thumb' you should aim for around 50w per sq foot of floor area (though some experienced growers (BOG) have reported great results with from 35w per sq foot). I would recommend partitioning off an area to suit this (16sq ft), or run 1800-2000w of lighting in your...

Hey LX, Just found somoene who had created a nute calc on icmag... a pretty complicated piece of work, which just made me think to pop by and mention that in my opinion, a calculator where you enter/list the NPK values of each product used in your grow - is way over the top! When it comes down...

G'day mate, Sounds good, would be awesome if/when it's integrated into the software - anyhow, if you have a calc that would a great help, I really can't be bothered doing all the math in a spreadsheet myself (not an excel expert;))! [email protected] Thanks for your time :D Regards, TTK

Thanks for the software, can't wait to try it out! Only one thing I would personally really like to see in there (not sure if it's already been mentioned, dont have time to read all the posts!), that's a nutrient mix cost 'calculator' where you can enter a price per/ml/gal etc for a product then...

r42, In the past when growing with coco, I've used a 1-2inch thick layer of perlite on top of the coco, this prevents the bugs getting in to breed, I presume the same could work for you (this is a pretty commonly used preventative for coco and soil growers). I've also experienced the same...
