    DWC DIY question

    you don't need the blue tube (its a water level as Tom says), but I wish my DWC had one, it just makes it easier to see how much the girls are drinking.

    Iguana Juice Thread!!!!

    reviving an old thread I know, but.... How do you guys measure the IJ in your dwc? I cannot get an accurate reading with my ppm meter, so I am just going by what the bottle says, but it seems my girls are lacking nutes.

    when to start trimming fan leaves?

    fwiw, if the leaves are green they are making food for the plant. If you cut them off, they have less food. I've seen this question asked before, and you will get two extremes as an answer, but the above statement is true.

    Progressive House, Share Your Thoughts.

    I was (am) a big fan of prog house, but it seems to be slipping by the wayside. mind you, it's been a few years since I was 'in the scene', so much has changed I'm sure. I recall an article once that said 'prog is dead', which upset me, so I made a prog mix to show that it's not dead, lol...

    Iguana Juice and PPM

    I think I read somewhere that organic nutes don't register the ppm when using a meter, but I can't find out where I saw that. Is it true? I'm using IJ now, and I'm at full strength as per the bottle, but my girls look like they need more nutes. When I use a PPM meter, it register around...

    Lets recall some Bush one-liners before he goes!

    "I'm honored to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein." I have a friend who teaches English in Brazil. She uses Bush's speeches as a lesson for the class, and they have to figure out what he said incorrectly.

    24 26w cfl on a single outlet

    If you have 24 bulbs at 26Watts each, then your total consumption is 624Watts (24 X 26). Outlets are usually rated for around 1500W (on the west side of the pond at least), so you are well below the rating for the circuit, provided you have nothing else on the circuit (a couple pumps/fans are...

    ph up ph down i di it my way

    there's no problem with the method you are using, but it's my understanding the length of time the vinegar and lime will maintain the PH will be a few days at best. Proper PH chemicals will last longer.

    250w CFL question

    fwiw, a computer running all day could consume 70 - 150watts/hr, which is half of your bulb's consumption. However, your bulb is only on half the time, so it's a wash in terms of energy consumption. your bulb will consume/cost as much as running a computer all day.

    250w CFL question

    this is somewhat easy math to find your answer 250w @ 12hr/day X 30 days =.25kw X 12 X 30 therefore you will use 54kw/month 54kw x price/kw = monthly cost. you'll have to know your price/kw, but where I live it's around 6.7 cents per kw, so my price would be 54kw x 6.7cents/kw = 361.8...

    how dark is dark??

    if you can, you should have no light. Light destroys the chemicals the plant makes when it should be in darkness. You should use the speaker material as suggested, or some other light blocker (possible cardboard that covers directly in front of your fan, but not around it)

    If a tree falls....

    This is actually a good question, because ‘sound’ is subjective in it’s definition. We all know that sound is essentially vibrations, but we classify only a sub set of these frequencies to be called sound. For humans, this is typically 20hz to 20,000hz. When the tree falls, it will definitely...
