Yep. What's the humidity there? Do you get water in your basement? I grow in my basement, so I'll offer my experiences... If you get water down there, check your gutters. Clean them out and re-adjust the grading so that water doesn't sit and/or overflow (I had to bend mine up a little). Add...

Perlite has a tendency to retain the proper ratio of water to air. Soil has a tendency to retain way too much water and very little air. That's why we add it to soil.

subbed :leaf:

How big are your pots? That's not unusual if you transplanted into 5 gal buckets, the bottom half of the soil has no root structure yet to absorb the excess water, and it takes a while to wick up to the rootball. In this case, after a fresh transplant, I don't water till runoff. Par for the...

man.... those are some healthy plants, tight nodes on your cola. I'd like to see that thing get massive, so much that you have to prop it up :-P How many weeks of flower total are you looking at? Foliage looks incredibly healthy, 300w of cfl has some decent penetration, doesn't it? Not as...

I'll believe it when I see the scientific data backing it up.

No problem bro, having the right equipment goes a long way. I wasted a lot of money on crap I didn't need, still do...LOL

Do you have an EC meter? They're essential for hydro. I grow in soil... EC meters are useful for soil, but for hydro it's necessary. I recommend the Hanna EC/TDS/PH combo meter, stored properly you might have to calibrate PH once per month. If you have problems (and I hope you don't) the...

If you want odor control, with a 400w in a 2x4 closet, you're going to need something stronger than a duct booster. Inline centrifugal duct fans ($$$) have a lot more force than duct boosters. It doesn't take much force to render a duct booster ineffective, such as an improperly built DIY filter...

Alright bro, nice plans.... For low-budget CFL wiring, use stripped extension cords (wiring tutorial in my sig). For low-budget ventilation, use pc fans. For low-budget odor control, check this out... https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/99452-diy-febreze-odor-control-bucket.html

Your a/c vent isn't blowing at 70f, that's where your thermostat is set.... it's a great idea and will cool your tent significantly, but it will only last as long as you're using your a/c. Once you keep your living space at 80f (damn.... 72f max for me) that will change. I'd expect at least 85f...

Absolutely!!! Take as many clones as you can, do it as often as you can until you are confident you can get 100%, then dial it back to fit your needs. Experiment, learn, improve.... was an 8 week experience for me, dozens of clones before I learned how to get 100%.

Get a 4x4 if you don't want them getting cramped. I've got a 400w in a 4x4 and it's just right for 2-3 plants (4 is too crowded) In my opinion, air circulation is far more important than the fractional ambient light improvement a smaller closet has. There are better ways to increase...

What's up fellas!!! <~~~ Newburgh (the good part) checking in!!!!! Currently I have 2 bud-heavy sour diesel plants under my 400w hps. I just updated my journal if anybody is interested :) https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/452317-sour-deez-my-closet-8.html#post6352977

Sup guys!!! Well, I've got some good news and bad news. Bad news is that I've got some fungus on a few buds. :cuss: Good news is that I've been doing my homework and I'm confident that I can prevent this from happening in the future. First off, I haven't been giving my plants the attention...

It's got to be your intakes. My 400w closet gets 10f higher than ambient with a 70 cfm fan. Your closet shouldn't go more than 5 or so degrees above intake temps and definitely shouldn't be above 80. Can you open up more intakes? Maybe a duct booster to help existing ones?

simple circle jig for jig saw <don't know how well it will work, I'd just do it by hand and seal up the gaps.

I have one, doesn't fit in my 4x4x6 flower box ;) ...I have a window a/c mounted in one of the panels though, keeps the humidity at a steady 50% even when I run the dehumidifier outside the box. :leaf: edit: the dehumidifier also raises ambient temps by 5 degrees F for my entire basement...

Thanks guys, I've had a dozen harvests so far and never had this issue. The strain is sour diesel and this is by far my best grow yet. Thankfully it's only a few buds so far, but my other 2 still have a good couple of weeks till harvest. I'll be examining them closely everyday :) I appreciate...

I keep finding buds with fluffy white mold on them, 4 or 5 so far. I've used the search function and none of the 230 threads that use the word "mold" answers my questions. Is my entire grow fucked? Should I soak my buds with fungicide even though I'm 2 weeks before harvest? Should I drop my...
