i see in your picture in the middle a small circle saying CO2? if that is your plan than you will be wasting a ton of money on co2 seein as how you are exhausting threw your cooltube,

Only thing i could think of is using CO2 because by the sounds of it you dont want to be venting to often due to losing your temp range. You could have it so that your lights come on during the night to keep your night temps up and use CO2 than. and if the air isnt to cold during the day just...

What did you use to draw that up?

I was thinking the other day and noticed that clothes dryers use centrifugal fans and thought about how often i see adds on craigslist and kijiji giving away free dryers...was wondering if anyone else has thought of this and maybe done/seen a DIY for it? I could see them being fairly high cfm...

You should consider Hempy buckets...its close to DWC without it beign a true dwc set up and can allow you a perpetual harvest if u were to throw 8 plants in there and do a 1 week rotation you could essentionally be getting a quater or better every week of a different kind of bud.

I'd say that is a very reasonable goal as SCCA had mentioned how ever if your going to be puting a 400watt in a box like that id strongly recommend staying away from DWC...i had put a 400 and a 250 in a box 72"x48"x18" depth and it killed my plants because the light was to intense in that box...

is 3lbs off a 4x8 table with 2 1000watters over it using ebb and flow sound like an unreasonable expectation? i am planning 3 of these tables perpetual 3 week rotations with 2 1000watters over each table

From what i have read is that the light from an HPS is best suited to Flower...but the reason behind it is that if used solely for veg is the HPS gives off a spectrum of blue light that makes the plants think it is getting reflected blue light rather than the direct light (which obviously not...

I beleive you can get hole saws for your drill that should be able to cut into that steel...if not maybe get something to start it off and get some metal cutters. i dont see why that wouldnt be able to support a 250w hps socket and bulb provided the ballast is outside or not being suspended in...

https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/401574-no-more-power-spikes.html thats one idea i've had about security...it wont really eliminate that much power consumtion if any at all but its a way i think could work to atleast level out the power usage threwout the day rather than have the...

Ya i had considered staggering them in that sense but as Smot360 explained beautifuly why it wouldnt work as to what i am looking for. And to the people that keep saying pay your power bill and you will be fine, i am assuming you are in places that it is legal to cultivate and have very little...

Potential Grow Tent? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Rubbermaid-60-Garment-Closet/11072970#Item+Description Never used it but i could see some potential for a crazy cheap price.

I had considered that but im not totally convinced that flipfloping isnt still creating a power spike when it switches on and off...no matter how unnoticeable it is to us the computer may show some kind of spike and couldshow consistancy if someone payed attention

For people doing big rooms if you want something like panda film you can get sylage plastic...its black and white and i picked up a 32ft by 100ft roll for around $130

It could work but it could also come and kick you in the ass if your root structure gets to big or they get to the point of beign nearly root locked and start fighting eachother is the only thing i could think of that would go wrong.

My issue is that its illegal to cultivate here which is why hiding the power spikes is important to me. I really dont care how much power i use aslong as no one notices any spikes. Im hoping if they do notice a increase in power consumption and try to look more into it they wont see big spikes...

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

http://www.theinverterstore.com/the-inverter-store-product.php?model=pwrinv8kw12v That is the power inverter i was considering. You could use smaller like 2500watt ones i for 2 1000watt lights which should in theory make it able to eliminate the sub panel but i like the idea of the sub panel...

Hi RIU I was wondering on some input on if this theory would work to help reduce power spikes showing up when your lights are kicking in. What i was thinking is to get Car Battery Chargers that charge the battery until it is full than does a drip feed into the batter from than. from there...

Thats a great idea Cammo wish iwould have thought of that myself lol
