    cfm's??? (noob)

    You need to know the size of the area you're growing in t work out the size of an inline fan. Example 4 x 4 x 6 = 96c ft 96 x 1.25 (this allows a 25% margin of error) = 120 120cfm But remember that HID's create HEAT so always get more than you need and if low temps are a possibility...

    2013-14 Six Plant 600W grow

    Have you ever had Brussels Sprouts with Pecan nuts? My Dad did them with the Xmas dinner. Slowly roasted in pyrex dish in oven The sprouts are slightly burnt (caramelised) on any sharp pointy bits and the roasted pecans are sweet. Sounds a bit weird but it's an amazing combo of tastes.

    Which politician would you buy a beer?

    Yeah - he was at that point in history when the last of the medieval superstition based stuff was being replaced by the modern scientific methods. He probably started off attempting stuff like alchemy and then, as his knowledge increased, debunked it. I seem to remember Dan Brown citing a few...

    Vomit Filled Nostrils....

    Have you ever puked with such force that vomit shoots out of your nose and a few 'meatier chunks' lodge within your nasal cavities? I have. I had to block my left side nostril, with my finger, and pressurise the offending object (which was about the size of a garden pea) out of my right...

    Which politician would you buy a beer?

    You're not even being ironic, are you? Jessie Ventura... he only has credibility with conspiracy theorists who dropped out of school in the 3rd grade or members of the lithium using community.

    Best Timing for Outdoor UK Auto Grow...???

    I have scouted a few outdoor spots and was planning on starting a few seeds off real early (like now) to use as Clone Mothers. But the UK season may not be the best in which to rely on a photoperiod induced flowering. Auto's, although more expensive because clones are not an option, seem the...

    Tubular Heaters

    That's exactly what I try to avoid doing. I need to keep the overall usage as low as possible. I only put the heating for an hour, every 2nd day. This warms the place up so I can shower in comfort.

    Tubular Heaters

    Hello Sensei J, Yeah - big difference of power consumption. The temps are OK but, during the 12 hours of darkness, on the coldest of winter days, the fan takes it to a touch below 60. And if I turn the fan down, the RH rises. So it's only something to take the edge off on the coldest days...

    Tubular Heaters

    Does anyone know how effective tubular heaters are for grow tents? I have to turn down my fan because the temps drop below 60, during dark time. But then the RH shoots up. Everything from 12" 45w to 4ft 120w are available, quite inexpensively. Suggestions for alternatives are also welcome.

    I missed your post, sorry. Amazon UK doesn't stock or sell MaxSea It may simply have a different name over here. Many things do. But I've checked Amazon USA and there are few different types (with different NPK ratio's). Which is the one you use?

    Bud Density, Lumens or Relative Humidity??

    Plants with denser buds (indica) are more likely to have fungal problems in high RH Jamaicans started growing Indica's because of the shorter flowering time and general convenience BUT the high RH of Jamaica is far more suited to their traditional stretched and loosely budded Sativa plants...

    Off Grid Solar Set-Up

    WHERE is 'LED proven to beet HPS'??? If LED's are so good why do NO COMMERCIAL GROWERS USE THEM??? It really winds me up when people make blanket statements of a black and white nature, but don't post supporting evidence. LED's are OK when HID's are not an option. But any grower who wants...

    Off Grid Solar Set-Up

    I've been reading up on alternatives to conventional electric supply. Generators do not seem suitable for using as a constant supplier of energy rather they serve best emergencies and for short bursts of use. (If I'm wrong about this I'd like to be told). OFF GRID SOLAR Instead of using...

    Try to give more details better information Pictures, if possible. The more we know the better we can understand and the better we can respond with suggestions. I also have the roots showing on 6 of my plants but they're cuttings in rooting sponges - so it's a good thing. "Get your...
