OK, not to high jack, but let me understand this. When you first posted that set up, I thought it was some way to have only one pump on at a time. 3 pumps start up and the relay switches on and only lets one pump draw, when it has subsided the next one can draw and so on. Sort of like a...

I would recommend checking out this thread. Long as hell, but worth the read. or you can go to page 75 for specific instructions. If you're serious about 4 lbs post a question on the best way to scale it up...

Andy, Here is a link - http://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/ And apologies on my original criticism of the relay. I still don't fully understand, but I see a lot of others picked up on it.

I hear a lot of people saying they only got x amount under 400W HPS, but did they read the original post? We're talking 144 plants averaging 7 grams per plant. Doesn't seem that unreasonable. Even at 6 grams per plant you still get 1.9lbs.

Sorry, andy, I wasn't speaking so much for your invention as the original concern of multiple timers on one circuit. If you're running three pumps on one circuit and don't have any problems you should be fine. If the breaker is popping then you need another circuit or add something like your...

Just an observational note: when growing with dirt in a small area the rooms relative humidity is in direct proportion to the amount of water in the soil. The plants were looking a little wilty this morning and the humidity level was quite low. Stuck my finger in the dirt and it was dry. I...

You should be wired into a circuit breaker/breaker box. If the three pumps draw too much power it will trip the breaker. Not a big deal as for the electrical goes but if that happens and you don't know it your plants might be dead before you find out. IMHO, if you got the three pumps into one...

QUESTION: What would the net effect be using Stinkbud's system with the following modification - one additional veg station for a total of six weeks vegging, but a crop of 10 plants instead of 11? I don't know how much you're harvesting per plant, although - 28 grams per ounce x 16 ounces in a...

Just a thought, but if you take it off the timer it might reach the target humidity. Not sure what your floor plan looks like, but I had previously bought a cheap dehumidifier and it had a hose adapter. I ran a hose from the back to the sub pump in the basement and never needed to manually...

I forgot to mention when I pulled the plants out to water and take pictures, I switched the lighting over to 12/12. I was holding out for a 400W HPS, but that isn't going to be in the budget for a little while. I will, however, try and do a little more with my current lighting. It's a bit of...

Not quite - 3 weeks rooting, 3 weeks veg, 9 weeks flower Week 0 - Crop A in cloner Week 3 - Crop A in veg, Crop B in cloner Week 6 - Crop A in flower, Crop B in veg, Crop C in cloner Week 9 - Crop A in flower, Crop B in flower, Crop C in veg, Crop D in cloner Week 12 - Crop A in flower, Crop B...

Man! - This is coming along :hump: The last couple weeks in dirt have had more growth and healthy than the first five weeks in hydro. Even the plants I was sure were going to die because the roots got cut off are doing good. Just Miracle-Grow, perlite, and water. (not knocking hydro, I am...

<back up power sub thread> One other thought, a different approach, would be to use those commercial emergency exit flood lights. They charge up from AC and kick on automatically when the power goes out. I would think you could use several of them and mount them directly to the ceiling...

You may not want to be so quick with scrapping everything if you've got something purchased and set up. I can't speak for Stinkbud, but I assume he arrived at this set up after much trial and error and learning. You might like the DWC set up and if not most of the parts should be recyclable...

UPS is probably the cheapest/simplest form of back for pumps. I have UPS on my computer/server and it has come in handy. However, I have considered thinking of rigging something at some point not only for light back up but also to fool the electric company. Plug battery charger (auto) into...

Apparently, this was the poll running on Change.gov - I don't even think it got mentioned here - amazing! :hump: http://www.salem-news.com/articles/december122008/barack_cannabis_12-12-08.php

MG is not bad and works just fine for dirt. Dirt nutes and hydro nutes are very different. Hydro leaves the roots exposed and vulnerable - the nutes are applied directly to the naked roots. Just buy the smallest bottle of an all in one hydro nutrient. I bought a liter at my local store for...

No one, huh?

Feminized seeds, like the ones you can order online, come from pollinating the female plant from hermie pollen - hermies derived from female plants. I think the other responder is drawing the conclusion that if your hermie comes from a male then all your seeds will be male.

Thanks for the post - good to know because I do see a lot of 'you will only get a letter' written here. Question is: how do you safely order seeds online or is there no such thing. Send them to a friends or relatives home unknown - this would make me the biggest piece of shit in the world. I...
