    2 1/2 Gallon Buckets for DWC? How small can you actually get?

    I would use a milk crate lined with landscape fabric. They hold something like 6 gallons and are under 10 inches tall.

    What would be causing this??

    A leaf will not heal itself. Once there is damage to a leaf that leaf will never look as good as a new Leaf. If a leaf happens to get rust spots on it, that we will never look as good as a new healthy leaf. Normally the bottom of the plant will be what shows deficiencies first. You need to watch...

    Is this normal? Seedling curling

    You might want to start your babies under CFL. Move them to the HPS after a week or so. Also you should be vegging under a MH not HPS.

    What's up what's up? - veg too long ?

    Sure. I keep 4 to 6 plants in a 30x36 cabinet under 300 watts of COB.

    Help getting startup costs down please.

    An empty 5 gallon bucket is free almost year round if you look hard enough. For my first run I did CFL on an 8 light panel that i built from a used bathroom vanity that was hanging out in a dumpster. Bulbs were a buck each from the dollar store. CFL array: 8 dollars

    Had A Space Saving Idea.Will It Work?

    Depth and overall volume, ... A lot of growers use 5 gallon buckets for pots. If you get the rectangular buckets like Kitty Litter comes in, they measure closer to 6 gallons. A milk crate works well also. Lined with a garbage bag or an old sheet.

    Cheap vs Expensive Equipment

    It would work just fine for that. I put a layer of soft foam under the mounting pad and used rubber washers to reduce harmonic vibration. I run LED and only have the fan at 20% power.

    Cheap vs Expensive Equipment

    Some of the super cheap fans can develop vibrations over time. The higher end ones are balanced better, better bearings, quieter operation. I have run both the super expensive and the super cheap filters in various setups, phresh is marginally better, not worth the price in my opinion. My...

    CLW Solar System 550

    Im very impressed with the 550. 4x4 gives you 25 watts per foot, 3x4 is 33.3. I have mine is a smaller space and use the controller to ramp up to 40 watts per foot during the "noon hours"... The controller alone was/is a major game changer for me.

    HIGHEST THC AND HIGHEST YIELD AUTOFLOWER STRAINS FOR 2015?

    Nothing like "copy & paste"... I think everybody is looking for more real-world answers from people who have actually grown them. Not some breeders handbook.

    HIGHEST THC AND HIGHEST YIELD AUTOFLOWER STRAINS FOR 2015?

    Supplement with silicon and magnesium for tougher stems. A fan blowing on your plants will toughen the lignins in the cell walls making the stems tougher as well.

    Input on these strains for a newb grow

    Autos are friendly as long as you have your system dialed in. any small mistake with an auto will hurt yield. If you have no deficiencies, they make good plants. i wouldnt recommend autos for newbs though.

    Mango Kush Flowering quick

    Tough call. I always do what the trichs say to do... sometimes thats 10 weeks on an 8 week strain and sometimes 7 weeks on a 9. How soon did you start using flower nutes after the switch? You really dont need to start until maybe 4 weeks in. Switching too soon can cause problems with some strains.
