I have the Viparspectra PAR 600 light myself for those curious about power consumption. During veg I used only the white and blue spectrum (due to heat issues) which was about 180 W per hour. So at 18/6 you would use 3.2 kW. Full spectrum it uses about 276 W during 12/12 you would use about the...

Makes sense. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Have a great weekend!

I have to admit I am slightly surprised at the small issues I had with my Gorilla tent. I wasn't expecting it to be bulletproof by any means. The zipper teeth became stuck during my first 2 weeks of use and caused the one tooth to not align now. I just zip it slowly and it is fine. Still...

I believe we should have a vaping section or sub forum possibly under concentrates and extracts. I don't want to have to keep lurking on a different forum for good vaping advice :( If this is the wrong area please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Totally agree with you. Sorry I don't have anything to contribute or help. I plan on vaping myself (doing my first grow right now) I find this section lacking organization and often end up lurking on fuckcombustion.com. I've found some great info over there as they're basically all about/geared...

Can't bitch to myself now about never winning anything if I never enter haha

I bought Method Seven LED glasses on Amazon. They weren't terribly expensive. I want to say around $60 Carl Zeiss lenses and 100% UV protection. I don't look the coolest but my eyes love it.

Thank you for clarifying this for me. So minimum I should at least be glancing at the in-going pH correct? I guess it just feels weird to dump nutes and cal mag and not at least check it before it goes in. I will stop chasing the pH runoff dragon and just invest in a nice soil probe down the...

Agreed with adding some sort of CO2 supplement for indoor growing if you're not able to get fresh air into the tent. I am still doing my first grow in a similar tent as you, 2'x2'.5"x5. ScrOG. Viparspectra 600 PAR. I run DIY CO2 using the yeast method. My plants love it. It's very cost...

So keep it at 7 going in? I figured it would lead me down a rabbit hole as I've seen it mentioned. I was concerned seeing that number keep rising on me. My notes were erased recently but I believe I added 3 or 6 tsp of dolomite lime to the 3 gallons of soil. Will that do the job?

The last couple of waterings I have noticed my pH runoff starting to rise. I was initially watering pH 7 and when I started to see it creep up above 7.3 runoff I left my pH of the water going in to around 6.1-6.3 which is about what my tap water goes down to after adding cal mag or nutes when...

"Bonsai style" mother plants for small areas.

I wanted to chime my 2 cents in after reading this. I am also going to be making my own vape juice after my first grow and I am by no means an expert. I would personally not use ISO (not trying to start anything here) They add shit to it to make it unsafe for human consumption and that's not...

As always I appreciate your answers! And thank you for the info about putting a pure UV bulb on a separate timer.

Well shit, now I want to add a 2ft UV T5 in my tent. Is there anything special to look for when buying a UV Bulb?

The power company should have their own lock ring around the meter. You probably won't be able to put anything of yours on it. They usually keep it sealed with a plastic lock to see if meters have been tampered with. They usually retro fit the old meters with a device that sends the signal to a...

I would take a walk around your property. Look for the meter socket/pedestal. You should see either overhead wires coming into your service drop or if you have underground service it just comes up from the ground into the socket. Either way it should be easy to spot if it's outside. I wouldn't...

As long as your meter socket is located on the outside, they literally won't need to come inside. Some older houses used to have meter sockets in the basement. ^ This is some of the best advice I've seen on here. I did a face palm after reading this. I've been so focused on getting my first...

The smart meters I saw were all digital display. They did retro fit old dial meters with digital hardware that gathered the meter reading once a month as far as I know due to battery limitations. At some point every meter will be a smart meter and the entire grid will be overhauled to support...

Going off this, I want to add that some electric companies are owned by the local municipalities and therefore I can absolutely see them assisting the local police if called upon. The utility I worked for was a private utility. This may be where some of these different cooperation levels come...
