    Cleaning up after a harvest - newby ?

    to cover the smell while you cure them nugs, you'll need to sneak into your local junkyard or tire dump (using the same tactical methods as taking out the trash) and start a tire fire. tire fires burn extremely hot and it takes a fire dept days sometimes weeks to put them out. depending on how...

    Cleaning up after a harvest - newby ?

    first off, shred all the paper/plastic refuse (potting soil bags, dixie cup wrappers etc) put it all in a burlap sack , as burlap retains no fingerprints. make sure its a cloudy moonless night to avoid satellite detection. dress in full camouflage, dont forget the face paint, and duct tape on...

    Question about space, light, lumens, etc ...

    not sure what size ballast your running, but the ever present problem of heat, and headroom 'tween the tops and the bulb, will be your limits. 250w should be fine w light, i'd get an actual 250w bulb to run at that "dimmed" setting, (example)400w bulbs dont ignite reliably when fed 50% of what...

    New set up/cooling help

    your gonna havta light proof it, not to keep the light in but to keep light out (light leaking in during dark hrs will stress the plants). if nothing else you could get more large cardbord boxes and duct-tape to panel the whole thing on the outside (the white material will be good reflective on...

I run a 250w HPS (open reflector) becuz even as hot as...
