I personally do mine in this order. 1) Water with nutrients @ 1/4 strength 2) Water only (ph 6.5-7.0) 3) Flush 4) Repeat I am typically watering every 2 days so my plants get a good flush about once a week. Might be excessive, but my plants are very happy and healthy and I have no issues. I...

Did you go from seed or did you receive the actual plants? If you went from the seeds, were the seeds germinated or just stuck into the soil?..

As close as you can get it without burning the tops of your plant(s). ;) That will allow more light to reach more area, because light loses intensity very quickly the farther away from the source.

Those results aren't typical from what I have seen, but it can happen. I have also seen auto's yield over 3 o's, so it depends on the seeds. Just think about the time and money saved if they are good plants :) I personally don't do auto's, but a friend of mine sticks to auto's almost...

I have seen some auto's only yield about 3-4 grams. They are quite funny to look at, but it depends on the seeds. With those, since they are genetically altered, results can vary widely and you can never really tell what you will get. I wouldn't say it is "normal" per se, but definitely possible...

Yeah I have mine on a 36 inch metal shelf (sorry for not mentioning that), so my duct is just a little over 5 feet. Mine has ran great so far and I haven't had any problems with the unit shutting off nor have I had to empty the water reservoir. My 400w light hangs freely in the room (600w cooled...

I have a similar situation, and you should run the exhaust from the A/C unit into the attic directly instead. The air coming out of that thing is well over 100 degrees and wouldn't help matters by pushing it through 3 lights. It would be more efficient to duct into the attic. Also, use insulated...

For the longest time I was paranoid about these things as well, but, rest assured electricity use is NOT enough for probable cause to enter your home. (U.S) Not to say that it can't trigger an investigation, but if you keep everything else straight and do not sell; you will be fine. Snitches...

I would recommend using the Active Air. http://www.hydrofarm.com/pb_detail.php?itemid=8485 These are really well made if you can get a hold of one at your Hydro Store. I haven't had any issue and these things use LOTS of carbon so you don't have to replace them as often.

Guess I have just been "lucky" not to have that as an issue. Although not much of one, I hate cleaning up messes lol. At least now I know if I run across that it is just normal. I appreciate the knowledge man, take care.

Hey Dankster is it a brand thing or just common of carbon filters in general? Because the ActiveAir filters I have used have never had carbon come out through the fan; they seem to be too well made for that to happen?. Hell, my whole wall would be black! lol. Just curious..Guess everything...

Definitely not typical from the filters I have owned. The carbon is supposed to stay inside to scrub the air! :) Hope you can return it or find a solution. Take it easy and best of luck.

My area is a 4x4 and I have (6)- 10 quart pots (2 1/2 gallon) under a 600w. These accommodate nicely and seem to give the plants their full growth potential, but may be a bit excessive in size for an auto. If you went with a smaller 6-7 quart pot, you could probably do 10 plants in the same area...

In my limited experience, you will definitely need a/c to keep temps under control. I only have a 400w MH and a 600w HPS (running concurrent for at least 12 hours while in flower) and without the a/c my temps can run 95+ degrees (10x10 room cooled by home a/c). My 600w hood is air cooled and...

I have a single hose unit that I run into my attic, and here is how I covered my bases: 1) Have an oversized cfm fan/carbon filter inside the flower room. My space only requires 125cfm, but I went with 400cfm. This takes care of the majority of the odor inside the room. (Flower chamber is a DIY...
