    Not sure what I did to my coco test

    Man I'm not going to spend the time and effort to alter feed locations and stuff so if that is indeed the issue the poor little bastard is doomed.

    Not sure what I did to my coco test

    Ya dont say on the bags huh? From everything I've heard it's ok to start autos in their final pot. Also I doubt it's the pot size that effected only the one but not the other. And as far as watering around the edge I can give that a try but it's a coco coir with about 30% hydroton and 20%...

    Not sure what I did to my coco test

    So this is a little side thing I'm playing with. Drip coco chow mix dtw. Two freebie autos running from the same pump and drip res to the same runoff tub on the same table. One seems happy enough albeit slightly slower than what I'm used to in rdwc. The other one is a different story. I don't...

    400w HID or 400w Mars Hydro II

    That's not true but again I'm not going to sit here and debate it with you guys. It is what it is.

    Silica

    Right. I remembered when I toured our water facility they used a silicate in floculating poo bits out of solution.

    HELP PLEASE- DWC and low pressure aeroponic totes

    You'll be fine. Give it a go and who knows you could love it. At the least you'll have awesome cloners and stuff. Who knows it's all down to what tickles your fancy

    The numbers they are giving you are arbitrary. If it only pulls 235 from the wall it's not a 1500 anything. That's literally just a BS number they throw on there to fool a stoner into thinking "sweet light man" and sometimes it works so they keep doing it

    I vote go 315cmh they have some cheap amazon kits that'll get you through your first run then you can upgrade the lamp

    First time 6 site RDWC 60 gallon problems

    Is this true? I'm getting ready to set up my 4 site again and I was good and blazed laying in my carport where the room is and was enjoying the pump hum. I wouldn't mind getting rid of it my only concern is what happens if I get roots clogging and had to turn recirc pump off? They'd be toast in...

    Fair enough. I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't wrong about electrical engineering and physics from time to time. You damned pot growing hippies are a wealth of knowledge whether it's well documented or not. :bigjoint:

    HELP PLEASE- DWC and low pressure aeroponic totes

    Right. Every time I try aero I give it back up. It's fun and quick veg but just so finicky

    400w HID or 400w Mars Hydro II

    right. So don't grab the lamp. As far as heat a watt is a watt. The energy may be produced as light but that light is still absorbed as heat in anything it shines on. At the end of the day in a sealed box a led is still going to warm the room as much as an equivalent lamp. Equivalent in current...

    I'm not suggesting the light. I wouldn't buy one as only one company is making lamps. Screams lamp supy issues

    400w HID or 400w Mars Hydro II

    I'm also still not sure of the longevity of cmh in air cooled hoods. Something about spectrum shift because it's not a double envelope. I'm not really up on cmh tech but I feel like I remember Phillips saying it should be in an enclosed fixture for safety and that sectrum shifts when lamps are...

    Thanks for explaining watts to an etcp certified entertainment electrician. I engineer led based stage lighting for a living. Not sure if source it was the first that popped up in a quick Google. You can continue to research at your leisure http://boulderlamp.com/heat-generated-by-a-grow-light/
