    Myth busters - the real truth on CO2 in indoor grows

    I just let it settle,but this part didn't work as well as I would have liked, that's why I continue to add 5 new grams of yeast. In theory, you should be able to completely reuse the yeast if you can get it to settle better. You can try pulling a container out of your room 12 hours early and...

    I have some questions.

    You have a perfectly normal female plant. Different strains smell very different, but all smell more as they mature. You really can't tell anything from the smell.

    What size pots do I need?

    Then go with the ten gallon pot if you want to go straight to the final size, but it can be a bit of a pain to get the water and nutes right for a small plant in a big pot.

    Extra time with light off won't hurt. Just go back to whatever schedule you want

    Heat!!!!!!

    That's really hotter than you want to be ideally. But you're not going to get any cooler without using that ac. Can you place it in another room and vent the cool air to your tent?

    Do I need an adapter for my new Lumatek?

    I'm assuming you looked at the cords and they're different kinds of plugs, and yes they sell adaptors that bridge the two, no idea what they're called but i bought one at my local hydro store.

    "Barney Frank and Ron Paul: Cut Military Spending"

    United states defense spending has been over 50% of global world defense spending at least since the beginning of the Iraq war - I think we've done more than our share of policing and it's time to let Europe and Asia carry some of the weight.

    Myth busters - the real truth on CO2 in indoor grows

    First formula should work, I've never had it boil over on me, but I leave quite a bit of extra room in each container I use, even if that meant I needed to use extra containers, so if you had your two gallons of liquid in container(s) that held two gallons that would be too tight.

    Myth busters its the light

    Not sure why you care about my reflector as i am taking measurements without one when describing the physics of light. I do of course use a reflector for growing, but again, how can it matter? Using a reflector greatly complicates meayrements because you are then dealing with the combination of...

    I need advice from a cloning pro

    are they wilting and dying? - then you need higher humidity. what is the quality of your tap water? - it may have a very large ppm and you're giving the clones too much mineral content. or, your nute solution is still too strong, water down some more.

    DO NOT bubble water.

    yes, you should bubble the water. the ph rises because of extra oxygen in the water, and your roots are going to love the extra oxygen. aeration may increase ph by a few tenths of a point and if that's a problem you can always add a little acid, but at the end of the day the added oxygen is...

    22 Super Critical Haze (what should i do? SOG, SCROGG, Or let it grow?)

    i'd do a modified scrog with the screen the same distance from the bulb instead of level to the ground. as for what distance, that's what i'm working on, but as close as you can without your plant burning or bleaching, i know i can get my aircooled 600 to 14 inches for sure without bleaching.
