    RDWC - 4 bucket system, trimming advice needed!

    Thanks chaps, really useful stuff. One of the reasons I haven't scrogged with this new setup is that I have to move the plants once vegged to the flowering room, so I can't scrog as I presume this can only work if you leave the plants where they are as I did with my last system. I'll take some...

    RDWC - 4 bucket system, trimming advice needed!

    I'm based in the UK so restrict myself to 8 plants total to keep me under the 9 plant 'personal use' category if I get caught. So my aim is to maximize the yield from 8 plants. I have a space 10 x 8 feet that I have divided up into two areas, one smaller for vegging. I have made two home built...

    Meter only reads us/cm and I need ec, can I convert?

    I bought an ec meter from eBay and it only reads us/cm. Can I convert this to ec or is it just a cheap shit meter and I need to get a decent one? Googled it but can't find a conversion chart.

    Help needed with size of filter/fan

    Thanks Spicy, that's really helpful, I'll go with the decent quality Rhino filter then, and get myself a fan controller to. The room will be virtually sealed, so I presume I should cut an intake hole the other side of the room to the exhaust hole to allow fresh air in? And should I put a one...

    Help needed with size of filter/fan

    Neighbour is detached so no big problem there, going for LED panel so low heat. So do you run a fan when the lights are off for heat or smell removal or to control humidity?
