A chiller is not necessary but can help. Besides warmer water promotes faster growth. I have seen grows pulled off in 80 degree reservoirs. Give it a shot!
Sure is. The duality of life. Infinite choices and possibilities.
The sun was birthed from giant clouds of dead stars. Perhaps we are lucky for the sun to be exactly in the right place for us, but maybe it would have been part of a much larger star, driving earth like life in some other...
Hygrozyme alone will not keep the bacteria away in a res running over 80 degrees. It will only aid to feed the bacteria by breaking down organic root matter into viable food for the evil ones (being an enzyme product). If running Hygrozyme in a very warm res. I would choose to include h2o2...
Your conscious perception of the world around you melds your very environment. Harping on negative thought will only consume your very nature. Without the negative, change, goals, admirations, and dreams would cease to exist. It it the chaos that bring forth creation and why we challenge...
Welcome bro, thats what were here for!
In dcw, your roots are consistently in the oxygenated solution. This only makes it more essential to monitor your ph and ppm. Having complete control of the solution at all times will ensure the plant can always have the right amount of food at the right ph
Why yes you can. You can even use that reflector on top of it if you make your own cool tube setup. I just did a search for cool tube within this forum... https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/285620-club-600-a.html
First pictures are a great example of a cool tube with a 600w. there are...

Dutch Master Zone will prevent the nasty's from appearing. If you run Zone, you must run a chemical based fert. I think its a better product then h202 and only needs to be added...
Depending on genetics you are looking at 3 times the height. Usually for an indica, people flower after one foot, and the plants will top out at 3-4 feet. I used to flower in a 6 foot height with indicas and used a scrog method. The top colas would be 3 1/2 feet from the ground giving me...
Digital. Less heat, quieter, less energy consumption, 120/240v switchable, and can use HPS/MH/ or even conversion bulbs. Many new digital ballast come with a dimming function, and can start up a few minutes after a power outage automatically. They also can have automatic shut off features in...
Cdxx,
I am not stating that the probe does not work. If space is a concern, then a probe might be your best shot. Different conditions dictate different perimeters. If it is working great, then keep it.
I am only chiming in on the fact that you cannot throw away efficiency when dealing with...
You can get away without having a meter. However, we are always searching for optimum conditions, reservoir control being one of the most important factors. A ph and EC/ppm meter will cut the guesswork out of your nutrient solution. Not only will you have complete control in reading ph, which...
Looks great so far! Just remember to give them at least 5000 lumens per plant. Anything more then that is going to be better, unless you start having heat problems!
You must insure that there are no light leaks during thier 12 hour dark cycle. More then a few lumens will cause the growth to be hindered and possible will cause the plant to hermi. If you can get into the nook space, close the door for 15 minutes and can still see light, then it needs to be...
Depends on how many bulbs you are running. Those 26w are good for small grows. I set up a small grow using 12 of them mounted to sockets for 4 plants. Each bulb has a lumen rating. Around 1700 for those bulbs I think. You want at least 5000 lumens per plant, so 3 or four would be getting...
Energy and efficiency goes hand in hand with electronic devices. Fatman is pointing out that for a $130 Ice Probe, you can get a window ac unit and convert it which will run your temps with more control, and because its more efficient, save you money. I have no idea why you would negate...
Thanks for the reply patpp!
because my buckets were on shims I just lowered my controller bucket to empty most of the old solution back, then raised it to submerge the rocks. After the first cycle, I drained the reservoir and added fresh water and a half dosage of zone then ph to 5.8 It...
Anyone else running into this problem of mine? Do they use zone? What Do most of you E&G & hydroton users with reservoir temps of 72-76 use chemical ferts and h202 and not Hydro Organic ferts? This stuff is kinda beating me up and wan't my plants to do well so once again, any help would be...
