    I have a very small room (5×7).I have hooks attached to fhe walls so I can unhook the net to change my DWC buckets. I grow my SCROG very very short only about 24 inch plants everything above that is bud. I used t-5 because of the small room and lack of ventilation so I can put the lights right...

    Grow attempt number 3 HPS

    Dude get or make a cloner. Never buy seeds again or have to fuck with sexing and males. You can pick up a buckets cloner for about 50 bucks, or my recommendation is the EZ Cloner or turbo cloner. Seeds add at least 2 weeks to your time and are a pain in the ass. Besides selling good quality...

    Cloner help

    hi guys got a quick question. I just switch to RO water rather than hauling water in a DWC set up. Everything seems to be working fine except for my cloner. I've got a 30 site EZ clone. I have been adding a little bit of Cal Mag after about 4-5 days to compensate for the lack of calcium in the...

    DWC Seedling not growing - Yellowing

    Dude that thing shouldn't even be in a bucket till it has roots from hell already. Get yourself a cloner and grow some ROOTS before slamming it in a bucket.a plant will always do better when the plant catches up with the roots not vice versa.

    Sounds like a water problem. What kind of water are you running?

    Air gap between bottom of netpot and waterline?

    Ideally the water level should be right around the bottom of the net pot. And inchnor two below won't hurt a thing. The danger in DWC is getting the water level too high not too low. Water levels that are too high in a DWC setup, particularly in places with a lot of salt in the water, can cause...

    Water: The Most Essential Compound

    I had been boiling water for the longest time for lack of a better solution. Recently I added a reverse osmosis filter, and all my troubles are gone. My first DWC grow with boiled tap water was problematic to say the least. I live in Colorado and all the water here is runoff so it picks up...

    -Scrog Purp Grow-

    I use something very similar on a smaller scale. I can't use HPS for space heat reasons so I use T5. I won't get the yield of course but I'm happy with it. It works well maximizing the light I have.

    T5 vs. HPS

    Ok so I guess you know more than a master electrician for Ford form38 years (my father in law). Congratulations on being all-knowing. My work here is done.

    T5 vs. HPS

    DON’T Do The Following: RULE NUMBER 1 Don’t use electrical watts to compare grow lights RULE NUMBER 2 Don’t use Lumens to compare grow lights RULE NUMBER 3 Don’t be fooled by a company that claims to have a magical growth spectrum RULE NUMBER 4 Don’t just look at a single PAR (PPFD)...

    T5 vs. HPS

    I agree with rifleman on this. While some decent bud can be grown under T5 lighting, it would be very difficult to reproduce the bud size of HPS. Look at it this way. T5 is like someone knocking asking if the plant would like some light. HPS on the other hand is someone with a battering ram...

    new set up... Need advice if you have time

    On that note, use lots of perlite and use a warming mat. New developing roots need lots of oxygen, and the warmth aids germination & root development. More root, more fruit.

    new set up... Need advice if you have time

    I pop my seeds in shot glass of ph balanced water in a dark place. I generally get germination in about 3 days. I know nothing if autoflowering seeds. Just a question though: Why are you wasting space on autoflower?

    T5 vs. HPS

    Watts is output, not input, so it's not an accurate measurement of power consumption. Amps is how much the unit uses, not how much it puts out. Forget lumens. You will never get as many lumens per watt than you will from a HPS light. What you will get is more watts of output per kilowatt hour...

    T5 vs. HPS

    From the standpoint of someone who has used both. T5 does not produce the lumens nor pentration of HPS. You get more watts per amp out of a T5 but less efficient light. I use a happy medium. I use a SCROG deep water culture setup with T5 fixtures. This way even though I'm not getting as many...
