    Hydroponics

    this is a matter of opinion and technic. more light is always good, so it does hold true, but many books say to trim the lower branches to allow better air circulation and focus the plant more on the parts that will produce bud. in either case, don't trim to much.

    you sound like you have a clue of what you're doing, just need more experience. just keep in mind, safety first. not sure if you're using tape only for your connections, but you should use wire nuts/wire caps, or crimp on couplings. wiring lights in parallel, you just match up the wire colors...

    Busted 4 days after 420

    they pay $10 for clones on that show weeds. not helpful at all being as it's fiction, but it's an idea of what the range might be. people are talking about reveging plants all the time on the forum. I say it's a sloppy way to start off a few month long project with money invested. my 2 cents.

    nice work. I love do it yourself projects. I wish I had a video camera, I'd put mine up online. maybe I can put something together with still photos

    my computer controlled grow room - GrowControl 1.1

    I think you'd like the hardware I'm using. a simple serial card with 6 i/o outputs and 4 analog inputs. easy enough to plug it right into the serial port, the protocol for it is really simple. one command turns a port on, another turns the port off. no flickers when the computer is booting up...

    yes, you can use them, but no, they are less then 100% efficient so it would cost slightly more to run lights on a converter

    my computer controlled grow room - GrowControl 1.1

    tigerdirect has some good deals and they're reliable. I've gotten parts from them many times, and have built more then a few computers. unfortunately, that's not the kind of computer I was talking about building. more like a single chip that can fit on the tip of your finger. they had a 1tb sata...

    haha, that's a good joke. even made my friend laugh. mono develop could turn into "the" programming language for cross-platform apps. I personally can't stand the whole .net framework thing, but it really looks like they're going in the right direction fast with that program.

    nice work. I'd like to post my code soon, but I have to make sure my server is secure before I post links to things. kinda paranoid about that now, don't want problems to deal with.

    Hydroponics

    I was under the impression you were doing a soil grow. I forgot what the thread was titled. same answer either way, number of plants doesn't affect the nute strength. the plants will use the water and nutes faster with more plants, so you might need to add water and/or nutes more often, but I...

    Hydroponics

    you want to grow 6 plants in a single 3 gallon pot? get 5 more pots. no, you don't make it stronger. you'll want to start off with a very low strength solution and slowly work up closer to full strength as weeks go by. the first 2 weeks you can use plain water. keep an eye out for nute burn or...

    best way to germinate seeds

    we put so much effort and money into making conditions perfect for the plants as they're growing. germinating seeds can be very simple, yes, but it's the beginning of the life of the plant. why wouldn't we want a perfect start to a grow? it's more forgiving, in the sense that if you kill the...

    around 800ma before you start to have trouble with the contacts fusing together. a quick tap unlatches them, but could end up with a ruined crop by that time. controlling multiple grows from a central location, something else you have to think about. if one grow is busted, they all go down...
