Yeah, just get a filter. They're like $35 on amazon and work. I had plants growing in my basement for 3+ months without my wife knowing it was even happening. Only reason she knows now is because I told her.

I think the first question to ask is how much weed do you want and then tailor the flowering space to provide it. A 4x10 room will yield a huge amount of weed and require a lot of work to maintain. Do you really want that much and is it legal to have that many plants where you are? I know I've...

It's still early, but it appears that the epsom salts are curing the problem. All of my new leaves are looking good. Thanks for the helps, guys. I think I'll include a calmag supplement as part of the regular feeding regime in future grows.

I'm always skeptical when a company tells me "we won't show your our spectrum, but, trust us, it's the greatest thing since sliced bread". Maybe it is, but they need to provide some additional info. If they've submitted their patent, they should be able to share without fear of their...

Thanks, John. I'm taking it slow so I don't create new problems trying to solve old ones. I added 1T/gallon in the feedings on Thursday and today. They are really drinking, so I gave them a heavy soak today and they should be good until Thursday. I'll probably hold off on any more Mg now and see...

Thanks, guys. I gave her some epsom salts yesterday, so I'll know whether that's helping soon. If it doesn't start to correct in a week I'll think about some calmag. Whatever it is is pretty minor and doesn't seem to be affecting her too much, so I want to go slow and keep it simple. The epsom...

You've got all that in a 2x4? I hope you have some more space you can use. I have 2 plants in a 2x4 and I'm wall to wall in there. How long you planning to veg?

Is the bucket light after a day? What medium are you using? I have a hard time believing that 5gals dries in a day unless you live in a desert. The limp leaves is likely due to overwatering. They perk up temporarily because your watering introduces some O2 and then they drown when it's depleted.

Need some help guys. This is a northern lights at day 11 of flower. She's been showing this mottled color for a while now and I'm not sure what it is, but thinking maybe a slight magnesium deficiency. This is a soil grow (black magic) using FF trio. I started at 1/4 strength, but have worked up...

Yeah, Amazon is my go to for cheap growing stuff. I got a very nice 2x4 tent for $60. Also got fans, filter, grow bags, timers, etc. All cheaper than I can get locally and delivered to my door in 2 days. Man, I love shopping in my underwear and not having to drag my kids around town while they...

I saw that clearance at the HD. I didn't need any nutes, but I picked up a couple sacks of their soil mix and I'm impressed. The ladies have loved it and $6 for a 1.5cf bag was great. Wish I would have bought the rest of the pallet they had because it's all gone. Oh, and I did pick up the ph up...

I use the 247Garden pots from Amazon. They're thick enough to last a few grows, have handles, and are cheap. Amazon has them for about $10 for a 5 pack. Can't see other brands being much better. Might as well use the 7g since they're the same diameter as the 5g...

Glad you caught that. You're going to have a forest on your hands as it is. Another week or 2 of veg and it would get ugly. I'm day 11 of flower right now on a scrog of a strawberry cough and a northern lights from ILGM. I've lost control of the SC. The veg is so dense I can't find places to...

Nothing wrong with the board, but it's not going to be enough for your space and it doesn't have dimming. You'd need 3-4 of them. Pretty much all of the boards from HLG are comparable. They're all using the same diodes (Samsung LM301b for the V2 boards) which are the best available. The...

I guess that would depend on how much space you're trying to light. If you're growing in a 4x4 you're probably going to be at or above the $400 level. For small spaces like the OPs tent it can be done for considerably less but you might have to DIY. I've got a 2x4 and I spent well under that for...

The rough guidelines I've heard kicked around by many growers is 50w/sf for blurples and HPS and 30w/sf for high quality LED. I don't know where CMH falls. This is actual watts at the board/light and not the B.S. equivalent pushed by less than reputable manufacturers. Some people do with more or...

They're looking great. Those are some bushy bitches. You're going to get some bud out of there, for sure. When are you thinking about flipping them?

That's why we build them ourselves. Premade they're like $2/watt. DIY you can do it for $.75-1.00/watt and its a fun, quick project. You should be able to make a top of the line LED setup for less than $250. If you go CMH or HPS you're probably talking $150-200, so the difference is pretty...

He's a known troll. You can ignore anything he says.

Basically, the actual quantum boards are exactly the same between the 2 versions. The differences are: 1. The 550 is a pre-made fixture and the 600 is a kit (assembly is available from the distributor for a charge). 2. The 550 uses the HLG-480H-C2100A driver while the 600 uses the HLG-600H-54B...
