Personally, I don't use PPM because of that exact reason. The difference in ppm between a conversion factor of .5 and .7 gets to be pretty substantial at higher concentrations. There is no standard conversion factor that everyone uses, so ppm is a worthless unit of measurement, IMO, especially...

Damn, I go to bed and this conversation explodes overnight. I keep my probe wet at all times like the instructions say. I use storage solution I bought from the hydro store. There was once that I left it out overnight with the cap off, so I had to refresh the reference junction (instructions...

Can't let your experience with one cheap shitty meter ruin your experience with all other meters. I love my EC meter but I paid twice as much for it than I did for the pH meter (still don't know why yours isn't working...mine works without a hitch, same model too I think). Get that waterproof...

I think you need to invest in a TDS meter. Your question got answered in my thread just now. I wish I could be more definitive but you've got to find what works for you and the strain through trial and error.

I use the feeding chart as a suggestion. I've found using the amounts they recommend doesn't quite add up to the target PPM listed at the bottom of the chart. My nutrients are measured out to a certain EC based on the measured out proportions on the feeding chart. Most of the time, I've found...

I picked up a cheap one on ebay for a few bucks. To be honest, it doesn't do much and I haven't noticed any difference in growth or vigor in low and high humidity. I'd much rather have low humidity to eliminate any chance of mildew or bud mold. Never heard of any negative consequences from...

That's a near drowning. If you drown or get electrocuted, you are dead. How hard is that to understand?

Hell yeah! Funny you say that because I want more light too. I wish I had gone for the 1kw or had enough to get another 600w. In a 5x5 tent, you really need more than 600w to cover everything effectively.

lol, you are wrong dude. Lumatek even says you can in their ad.

Damn, didn't realize you were using a 400w hps with your grow. I have no doubt this bud will be better than last grow and that bagseed shit was bomb. Quality genetics, hydro, and 4x more light should produce some way danker buds.

Thanks. Hopefully they turn out as yummy looking as yours as they get further along into bloom. I'm using 3.75" netpots, so it would have to be a pretty small diameter cage but like 3-4' tall. I bought some 4' stakes from Walmart yesterday but I don't know how to place them. I don't think...

Very nice! Did she actually go 12 weeks?

Yep, that should work just fine.

I'm only three weeks into flower so they aren't stinking a lot yet but it doesn't smell at all outside the tent. No odor issues whatsoever. You won't get anywhere near a kilo even under completely ideal conditions. Its a high yielding strain but you'd be lucky to pull much more than a lb from...

Yeah, you want a passive intake like you are thinking. An intake fan is completely unnecessary. The vented air is pumped into my bedroom where the tent stands. I would vent it outside since the window is right next to it but it is at ground level and people walk by, so it is a security issue...

No need for an intake fan. You really want negative air pressure inside the tent to keep the stink contained inside. A single 6" fan will be plenty to ventilate the light and tent. I run my ventilation like this: Carbon Filter --> Fan --> Hood --> Exhaust As long as you are pulling air...

The ballast will only fire one bulb. Your idea not only won't work but is a recipe for a nasty fire. I've seen instructions on this site for how to make a ballast ignite two bulbs but you are still facing the problem of running 500w of bulbs off a 600w ballast. Not something I'd want to fuck...

I use a 6" fan to vent and cool my light with basically an identical setup. If you're worried about it being too big, you can always use a fan controller. I believe its always better to have too much ventilation than not enough. And if you're going through a carbon scrubber, you definitely...

Thanks bro. I think I have things dialed in for now. Whatever I'm doing, they seem to be loving it. lol, yeah, they are huge!! I need to figure out what method I'm going to use to stake them up because they definitely won't be able to hold themselves up in a few weeks. It might be a...
