    enough watts ?

    You're the one trying to put 3 plants in four square feet, so the answers you get are going to fit the problem you've presented. You need at least 7 of your 23 watt lights just to produce some pretty wispy nuggets, and a lot more light if you want dense Nuggs. Practically speaking, you need a...

    enough watts ?

    You want as many lights as you can cool in your situation. If cooling weren't an issue then you'd want the equivalent of 17 of those bulbs to properly light that many plants with that square footage.

    Closet venting Issue

    You can snake an exhaust line starting from the part of your attic with enough room to work in to the area where you've cut the hole. Use a string on a pole to get to your exhaust hole, then pull the string through the hole, attached to your ducting.

    FIRST GROW DWC with top feed..pics..feedback please!! thanks all!!

    Got your pm - looks like you've already gotten good advice on the feeding. Don't have anything to add as my thing is more about the unique requirements of indoor grows and it looks like you've got your environment pretty well dialed in.

Check out the co2 stickies on this site -for instance the calc your co2 in indoor growing forum and it references - *The air already has about 300 PPM so you only need...

    Myth busters - the real truth on CO2 in indoor grows

    please site the post number, I must have missed it. Or do you mean that rant after your double shift? Thought you weren't sticking with that. and I subscribe to the notion of overwhelming force, especially in defense mechanisms. first you say to move on, then you return to your nature and...

    Myth busters - the real truth on CO2 in indoor grows

    still waiting for your proof this experiment is "just another underwhelming exhibition of improperly researched and poorly put together information" your words, back them up. sigh - I was not taught to turn the other cheek I was taught to break the hand raised against me. I always urge newbies...

    Myth busters - the real truth on CO2 in indoor grows

    you can't point out what doesn't exist. there was nothing in my upbringing - and no, i'm not a christian - that suggested I should treat anyone any differently than they treated me. So, you got exactly what you dished out as your introduction to me. Double shift or no you are who you are. so...

    Myth busters - the real truth on CO2 in indoor grows

    Hey everyone, I leave for a couple of hours and all hell breaks loose. Thanks for all the support, here's my two cents. since I am the only one in this discussion who actually gets paid to do experiments please forgive me if I take your uninformed opinions and file them accordingly. Perhaps...

    Myth busters - the real truth on CO2 in indoor grows

    haven't started using safeale yet, life's been kinda busy lately. Note that you use a lot less safe ale compared to bakers yeast.

    Myth busters - the real truth on CO2 in indoor grows

    if you vent continuously, even at the ceiling, it will draw out too much co2 to make enhancement useful. I've seen about a 200 ppm co2 differential between floor and ceiling in a room with three circulating fans.

    Myth busters - the real truth on CO2 in indoor grows

    hey, it's the spirit of UB back to haunt my threads. Why don't you just let the people who are actually trying to help people do their thing and you can get your ego stroked some other way? Your points are baseless, as usual, and don't take into account real world indoor growing conditions and...

    Myth busters - the real truth on CO2 in indoor grows

    Your dimensions are awfully small. Are you growing in a cabinet? That would be six ounces of water, so your whole fermentation set up would fit in a soda bottle.

    Yea, just lay it all out on a tarp and mix together with a shovel if you plan on using all of the dirt right away.

    Dryed up to nothing

    Drying always causes shrinking, 75% shrinkage is not uncommon. They should re- moisten from inner moisture in the jar, if not, add something to the jar to increase humidity - wet paper towel, orange slices, etc.

    hpw do u measure 30% perlite to 3 gallon of soil

    Don't make something simple into something complicated - just eyeball about a third of the volume for perlite and go from there. The mix ratios of ingredients are not that precise anyway.
