What kind of reflector are you using? I was running high 80's with a 250W HPS ballast. I switched to a 400w HPS Digital ballast and a cool tube reflector and in my grow cabinet (36x18x90 inches) i can get the temperature down to the more traditional mid-high 70's. A coolable reflector with...
At my house, the garage is the only real area that we have to use for growing. While I have not yet converted the whole garage, a small portion could be very simple to create. Take a 8x8 area from your garage, and build the walls with 2x6's. This will alllow you to use 6" of insulation. I would...
I'm humbled to say after reading through this entire thread that you are some evil genius. I can't believe that this kind of knowledge exists... well... this close to home. Mad Mad props for your work here. You have a thread subscriber from me.
Hello from Lansing my man. :)
I had a plant that lost its top cola and rewarded me by throwing out nice little BALLS that ruined my whole crop.
Course, there could have been other factors, such as genetics.
Guys, no need to panic. I took electronics in college. I understand ohms law, series-parallel and all that jazz. I've been shocked a few times in life, but not in the last 12 years. Big thanks for finding who has a 4 ballast flip-flop for sale. the price is well within reach of my medical grow...
Where could I buy them online, or is there a company and part number that I could make work for a good google search?
Really, i'm interested in 3-4 of these for my own project.
I saw on a thread by northernfarmer Here where he says that he runs two grow rooms off one set of ballast by using switching relays. How do you do this? (as in what kind of relay?)
1 car garage! Nice idea. I have a 20x20 detached garage begging to be converted. :) We think alike. Mine has Natural Gas, and 30 amp service. I'd need at least running water, a drain and 200amp service. :blsmoke:
So what makes you think i have a journal on RUI? I don't even have an avatar yet...
Thank you ohsohelpful/ohsogreen.
I'm experiencing nute burn already (before they bottles even get here that is). Time for a flush. But thank you for the advice. My hope is to replace paying tons of money for voodoo juice with these magical bottles.
I just ordered two bottles of SPT. Syked to see the results!
I am running the following nutes currently.
Ionic Grow
Ionic Bloom
Ionic Boost
Hygroyme
Nitrozime
Greenfuse Bloom Boost
Europonic Fossil Fuel (humic+fulvic)
GH SubCulture
Is this going to be too hot or too much microbeasties when...
For me its the same. The first weeks have been super slow, but it now looks like the roots have made their way to the res and they are taking off. Mine are lowryders under 24/0 though, so my stretch that im used too has been reduced.
GL! I'll be keeping an eye on this one. I really wish i had...
Would anybody recommend using BMO's bloom formula in addition to a chemical nutrient? I'm looking for some more flavor and have debated just adding worm castings, but this might be the ticket if I can dilute it enough to keep the burn down.
