To soon to toss it. It can come around still.

It would be best if you can get one cheap ($5Can) and easy to get. A lot of cars in junk yards have 20-30-40 amp relays plugged into their fuse sockets but they're all twelve volts activation coils also. The relay contacts will handle the specified amperage regardless of the voltage going...

I use a trough from an old constant flow system to put my freshly rooted clones in if they are rooted a bit early. I put a single layer of gravel on the bottom, set the rooted clone in the slot and put a piece of 5"x 5" reflective plastic with a slot cut for the stalk over the roots. I water...

A 1kw HPS will crank out a qp or almost every two weeks...for sure :) The nice thing about using a 1kw HPS is that it can be set at 44",s from the glass to the medium and left there providing that the seedlings or snips are put in ASAP without veg time. I adjust the reflective screening...

And for those people that are compelled to grow through out the hot summer months I'd have to recommend one of those twelve volt beer coolers for a res. You may need to rig an external water temperature control thermostat and set the cooler on max. They even comes with a lid where you can cut...

For light and pump timers I go with a 40 amp 12vdc activated relay from the accessory isle at a Canadian Tire store for five bucks Canadian. Then I trip off to Lowes or Walmart to pick up one of their ten dollar digital timers, if Canadian tire hasn't got one. I grab a 15 amp power bar to mount...

Some strange kinda chemistry going on there :) Did they both PH the same or did one need more than the other to balance? I believe that the instructions are referring to the A&B at 500. It would only make sense to cap the whole mix at 500.

You only need one exhaust fan for the cool tube but I'd recommend an intake fan equal to the exhaust for the grow. Usually you'll get some specs with the cool tube that you can use for choosing the fan. I have 8'x8'x8' for the grow and the same for the moms. I circulate through the mother...

I go with blowers and 1kw hps/without glass or cooltube. These other guys would know more about specific fans/filters for smaller grows. I don't grow in populated areas so carbon filters aren't a concern for me.

Before you buy anything for reflection check into an insulation called corolite. It looks and acts like Styrofoam but is non-flammable. It comes in many colors including white. You can fire-proof the closet by lining it with this stuff. Fire-proof drywall is another way but that stuff is so...

If I was going to use a hoodie it would require its own fan(s) and vents, closed/sealed from the grow. The grow would get its own ventilation system separated from the cool tube.

I find a roots off 24 hour flush after the chop in RO water does best. I run the same mix straight through. The weed sap is a bit heavier than the water and sinks to the bottom so elevate the butts of the chopped budded snips slightly from the bottom of the container being used to hold the RO...

I "think" you might do better with a dual 32-34 watt per tube, 4' daylight florescent tubes. Maybe spend $5 on a hygrometer so you have some idea on watering. That plant is too little for a whole lotta nutrients.

For F&D systems it is best to swap out the res every five to seven days, depending on the amount of water the plant(s) are using per every 24 hour shift. The res gets topped up with plain water every 24 hours. I use dolomite lime to set the PH at 5.5 at the start. Do the fertilizer first then...

If the potatoes floating...it's time to change something :)

I run 360 watts of daylight tubes on my six moms. I have a 150mvmh that I use on them every so often.

The cheapest system I can "think" of is one of those $10, 630 watt digital timers from Lowes or Walmart. I couple this with one of those $5 40 amp relays you find in the auto accessories row at Canadian tire. I plug a 12vdc adapter into the timer to run the relay (Rogers :) . These relays will...

I have learned that nothing lasts forever...except death.

It will finish out OK. Cut back on the fertilizer a bit. If you "think" you can water a bit more do so. Nice proper green to the rest of the plant(s)

Next time I got one empty I'll photograph its entirety and post it on RIU.
