my favorite quote from one of the pro's on here:

9 nodes, 17 inches tall. how is that? the others were started a few weeks later, so they aren't as tall yet.

bump.. more ideas?

some people do that as a quick fix, yes. but you might want to do some odor control once you go into flowering.

sorry for grouping you with everyone else who bashes cfl's without any knowledge or experience. just you wait! I'll do a few side by side tests. gotta get at least a single grow under my belt before I can be credited with good tests. 100% led grow is in my future, and I'll make it work.

you admit you use cfl's. they can be useful. I'd +rep you, but I already did before. I really want an hps. I'm gonna go in the corner and cry now.:dunce:

this is something I'm unsure of. how much heat does a 150 watt hps really put off? no where near 150 watts. they are using a smaller bulb them what most people use, so that helps. I'd like to see someone successfully grow in a dresser with a 600 watt hps and computer fans, and not start a fire...

I've been pretty reckless with keeping my grow secret. posting pics online is the only thing I've managed to hold back. lol I am having trouble getting light to the middle and bottom of the plants, but they are really growing together now too. I need a second table to get them separated better...

I'm doing hydro with cfl's :wall: an inch a day vertical must just be in my head. maybe I'm perma-stoned and don't realize it.

I hope tussel didn't set himself up to be torn apart on his test methods. lol. if they are side by side, I don't think light would be the problem. different genetics maybe.

no? just a plain blunt no? I've seen someone else on here ask a similar question not long ago. no, you can't grow with only a black light. that's like growing in the dark.. the plants need powerful lights to grow well, but black lights can help as a supplement. I think it's more of something...

also, keep fire safety in mind. always keep it safe and think ahead

the cpu fan pulls heat off the cpu and circulates it around inside the case. the power supply fan and any other 4 inch or bigger fans would take care of removing it from the case. this is what is more similar to removing the heat from a grow box. the bulb temperature doesn't matter so much. it's...

my favorite by far is ebb and flow. I don't care for soil much. my first grow was hydroponic. I picked it up pretty fast for someone who never grew anything before, not even a house plant. after 8 weeks of veg, I finally have everything right, and the plants are at their best. 1 inch vertical...

I don't know what your light housing looks like, but I was thinking, try to duct the heat away right from the source.

here's my argument. a computer with one of the more efficient modern cpu's would put off about 80 watts of heat, just from the cpu, not including anything else. if they can keep the heat down in such a small confined space down to around 80f, then why can't you do the same with a bigger box with...

it might not be enough to keep it cool. some people will probably pop in and say you can't do this, you can't do that... blah, you can do what you want! try to find the bigger thicker pc fans. you might pay a little more for them, but they are worth it. the thicker ones spin slower and are...

yea, that's an issue I'll have fixed for my next grow. another thing, don't use clear tubing. algae grows inside it and it's imposable to clean. it gets really stubborn inside there. I use black now, and it seems to stay very clean.

mr clean car wash filter from walmart. I got one for $15. the sample filter it came with was giving me 11-12ppm water. easy enough to use, just hook it to a hose. the sample filter wears out pretty fast but full size replacements are only $7. works great for me, but I stopped using it because my...

I talked to a guy at my local grow shop. his answers are usually pretty opinionated like everyone elses online, which should be expected. I think we figured out the problem. my carbon is spent. duh! I tried baking it at 400f for 20 minutes. didn't help at all, but the house smelled pretty good...
