    8x10 4 plant grow room

    So you're going to hang 1000w HPS in a shit reflector under your unprotected wood ceiling joists. I'd give some serious thought to that because it's likely your insurance company will decline the claim when you burn the house down

    8x10 4 plant grow room

    OK, my bad. A hobbyist huh? And you need an 8x10 room for personal consumption? Geez ... you must have the lung capacity of a blue whale. :) Seriously though ... what kind of lighting did you think would cover that space?

    8x10 4 plant grow room

    He may occasionally indulge in a drunken rant, but he speaks truth about the cost of appropriate LED fixtures. The least expensive "good" option I've found for that space would be 8 x the new Mars SP 3000 @ $399 apiece - $3200...

    4 x Mars Hydro 900w or Upgrade ?

    If you have the budget I'd suggest getting an additional 4x4 to use for veg and leave the 8x8 for flower. It's late here so I'll try to deal with the spectrum issues tomorrow.

    Are you using 1 room/tent for both veg and flower?

    Lights

    First, you should start your own thread. This one is to help out Anonymous2020. That said, you room is like having 4 4x4 tents. So 4 of any solution, LED, HPS, or CMH that would be good in a 4x4 tent would work for you. And to save you some heartache, the LEDs you want will be in the 600-630w...

    Can't get rid of powdery mildew

    I disagree - he has his whole harvest to lose. His bud formation is past the point where you can just try stuff and hope it works. You will end up ruining the buds instead of saving them. If you can knock down the outbreak with H₂O₂ you may loose some bag appeal but your harvest will be...

    Can't get rid of powdery mildew

    If the infection is as heavy and persistent as you have described, I'd use it full strength. If you want to be more conservative, start with half strength as soon as the plants have dried from their "milk run" :). If the 3 applications of 1/2 strength don't work, go to full strength.

    Can't get rid of powdery mildew

    Step 1 Get yourself something like this https://www.lowes.com/pd/Husqvarna-2-Gallon-Plastic-Tank-Sprayer/1000810304 Step 2 Get some 3% or stronger hydrogen peroxide locally or online https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=hydrogen%20peroxide&typeahead=hydrogen https://bulkperoxide.com/shop/...

    Get your rude, illiterate ass over to craigslist and leave these forums to the adults.

    Can't get rid of powdery mildew

    Regalia's great stuff, but look at the buds ... that ship has sailed for these plants. Both as a foliar and a drench it's really only recommended until very early flower.

    Can't get rid of powdery mildew

    Looks like you've got a while to go before harvest. I've always had good results with hydrogen peroxide. I'd start with about 1 1/2% solution (mix a container of 3% from CVS or Walmart with a container of water) and use a pump sprayer to thoroughly drench the plant top and bottom of all leaves...

    Looking for led lights..

    Please tell us the size of your grow space side x side x height What is your realistic budget for lighting? There are very few actual 1000w led fixtures. The ones you see on Amazon are mostly 100-200w actual draw fixtures that have a theoretical maximum capability to handle 1000w (but never will).

    4 x Mars Hydro 900w or Upgrade ?

    Yes, they would work. Not sure what your fixation on co2 is about but they would do the job

    How far to keep light away from plants

    You can calculate lumens from lux and surface area. Lux and lumen units represent different quantities, so you can't convert lux to lumens. https://www.rapidtables.com/calc/light/how-lux-to-lumen.html

    4 x Mars Hydro 900w or Upgrade ?

    Much as it pains me to say it, 4 x Mars-Hydro TSW 2000 looks like the best fit for that odd size If you go 8x8 your costs go up but you have many more options

    4 x Mars Hydro 900w or Upgrade ?

    Those panels draw 340 watts, not 900 and were originally promoted to replace a 400w hps. Under 1,000 micro moles there’s no benefit from extra co2

    4x4 tent, 1 pot, what size?

    There’s no 1 size fits all answer. Depending on the strain, the growing method, and the grow medium you might make different choices. Are you going to veg for more than 8 weeks and top 3 times or more? Is the strain a 7 week flower period or a 12 week or longer? That said, other than the...

    4 x Mars Hydro 900w or Upgrade ?

    First, unless you’re getting 1,000 micro moles or more across your canopy the co2 is a waste. I suspect those lights aren’t giving you that. The 6.5 x 6.5 size isn’t well suited to most lights ... especially the newer bar/strip style fixtures. You should probably look at QB style fixtures...
