    12/12 From Seed Experiment - 21 Strains

    ^^Wise move. After this run you'll have a gauge to determine approximately how the 7 sider will produce ( you probably already knew that). A~~~

    12/12 From Seed Experiment - 21 Strains

    :) Hey HDS, Looks good considering loss of light. Are you planning to complete the octagon next run----if not, I believe you'd be better off yield wise with reflectors, light rail mover and a flat canopy----re-configure ( I assume you don't want to hear that).:smile: Little bit of burn on...

    Aeroflo vs. Aquamist

    Welcome to RIU and the cannabis war (on the right side) I wouldn't ever use either system-----limited to only using very small plants. But to your question-----I'd choose the aeroflow over the other. Potency comes from genetics much, much more that any method of growing. A~~~

    Electricity KWH. Help.

    Ozone generator in exhaust ducting in combination with your carbon filter----if you think it's bad now--gonna get a lot worse when close to finish. Try to have negative pressure for your room. A~~~

    Nervous about first grow

    Hey bro----there are no "stupid" questions-----only time it's "stupid"----if you have a question but afraid to ask. Now is a good time to start training your plants while they are still easy to work with (don't let the tail wag the dog). Next question? how do you change your nutes? Reason...

    Nervous about first grow

    Hey StinkBud, Got a good laugh from your dragster / pinto analogy---- but I wouldn't compare bubbling buckets to a dragster and I never liked pintos and "nothing is dirtier than dirt". Are you suggesting he move his plants to soil after investing in a chiller?????? Besides, looks like he's...

    Nervous about first grow

    @KushPushK, They look good----I suggest using a screen or tying your taller plants down----you want a flat canopy otherwise the shorter plants are just going to get shaded out and not produce much. Also, the rule of thumb I use for removing lower fans----once the leaves are 50% spent...

    where do you get your rockwool ?

    ?????? Why use it all-------what function does it serve ??????? I suppose that depends on the process design------and if unless the grower is just comfortable using it,fine However; if not-----lots of different methods for doing so. Are there better options available?------For me-----yes...

    Hey cc, If that's the hydrofarm 5' tube-----I've used it without the reflector. Real pain to remove the sockets for bulb replacement and trying to clean it the glass-----my arm too short to reach the center. For those reasons alone ----not to mention took three tries to get two non broken...

    Aero pump for 8 misters

    I'm confused (as usual). I looked up those Wilma systems and didn't see anything about aero----all were using gro rocks and drip nute delivery. Are you modifying the pots for aero? If yes, what are you using for pot lids? A~~~

    An outlaw's journal

    Finally got the framing and insulation finished-------moved the plants and equipment down from the upper bedroom---in a rush to get the wall up between the flower and veg rooms. Two sections running butted end to end. This is a shot of what each section looked like. Thank goodness I used...

    Another feature I accidentally discovered. Say you have a 44 gallon garbage can filled with 35 gallons elevated above the lower rez------your pump is running continuously feeding your plants----T into the feed line coming from the pump and put a valve going to the upper tank (I just used 1/2"...

    Ditto the auto pilot. You could add a float valve to your existing rez. Add a large tank elevated higher than your rez ( I added a float valve to the large tank so I would't hear that splash- splash sound when filling. A valve I really like came from Agri-supply (last time $30)---called a...

    Cooling air from pump....

    What max temps are your nutes now? I tried the small frig thing once----waste of time. A trick I heard once: If you have an air conditioner close by, and if practical, place the air pump in front of the cool air vents. A~~~
