Hello Corey, By intractor fan (which now that spellcheck is on, I realize is not a word) I mean a simple fan like this: The exhaust fan is the more powerful of the two, despite its 125mm diameter vs 150mm diameter; it moves ~230 cubic meters/h on low and 280 cubic meter/h on high. The 150mm...

So just to give y'all an update: I now have the following materials: - 1 cooltube reflector -1 250W mag ballast -1 250W MH bulb - 3 small (~1L, 1.5L?) plastic pots - 3x 15L smart pots - 1 125mm (5") exhaust fan - 1 150mm intractor fan - 2x 20cm oscillating fans - 1 90x90x185cm Secret Jardin...

Seems like a silly question, but is the ballast/your whole rig 220V? What voltage are most of the power outlets in your home? If you're plugging in 220V equipment in 110V outlets and vice versa, you're gonna have a bad time.

Hello, Slip. Imma put a little disclaimer here: the advice you are about to receive comes from someone with 0 formal grow experience. All advice is based on information acquired from Cervantes, lurking this forum, and reading a few different books and websites. 4- The CFM should match that of...

Wow, those gals are gorgeous. Would you recommend growing the Pineapple Express auto as one's first ever grow? Like, how forgiving is this particular strain? I ask simply because I have already acquired 3 PE Auto seeds from Barney's, but they're my only autos, everything else is fem photoperiod...

Thanks for the input everyone! Thanks for the very comprehensive response, OldMed! Yeah, money is short, so the 2.8 Fl oz AN containers would be my only option. All of these ferts I've mentioned are the ones that can be found where I live and they all have to be imported, so sometimes we go...

Hiya noobs and experienced budmasters, ______________________________________________________________________________________ TL;DR Planting in inert medium, don't know which nutrient line is best for me: Advanced Nutrients, General Hydro, or BioBizz? In prices: Advanced >> General Hydro >...

Thanks a bunch, Roger! That really helps. Also, good thinking rerouting the hot air back in the house during the cold months, :clap: I'll probably do something similar. Do all those bends in the ducting not severely reduce your airflow out, or can the exhaust handle that just fine? Do the bends...

I see. Makes perfect sense, but what about mold, pests, and humidity control? I'm going to clean the room where the tent will go very thoroughly, but it's not a sterile environment.. Wouldn't I expose myself to bigger issues by leaving the tent open in the middle of a humid summer?

Hey Roger, 5" is actually just an approximation. I deal with the metric system, so it's actually 125mm inline exhaust (so 4.921"), and I'm thinking about 100/120/125mm intake fans. I highly doubt where I live I have better stocked hardware stores than you. DIY culture isn't strong where I live...

Thanks for the reply, Hotshot. Okay, good to know. That frees up some capital in my budget, considering the fact that the Narva bulbs are 4-5x the price of no name bulbs and about 3x as much as a Philips bulb. I'll probably just stick with a Philips bulb for flowering and think about a no-name...

Hi there, hippee, thanks for the input. Yeah, these climactic conditions are really gonna test my dedication and adaptability. No, there's no way for me to draw air in from underneath my place because I live up on the 3rd floor of an apt building. By "the grow bible", do you mean Jorge...

Hi everyone, s'all good? TL;DR Worried about probable temp. & humidity issues once I start my first grow. Live in a tropical climate So I'm fixing to start my first ever grow op in either early/mid December or early January. Today I went and got the tent, a Secret Jardin DR90, and my...

Noob grower. All advice welcome. :D

Hi all, I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I'm curious if anyone has had any experience with these German Narva HID bulbs: the Narva NACHROMA (MH) and NATRALOX (HPS) Here are links to the product page: http://narva-gle.com/nachroma-en.html#nachroma-veg-en...

Bump for interest. (sorry to get your hopes up, OP) I am also looking to start a grow with 32"x32" area and thought a 250W NACHROMA (veg) and NATRALOX (flower) would be suitable to get some quality light while also not getting all the heat of the 400W (it's hot enough here as it is). Picture...

Oh yeah, good point. Thanks :)
