    Grow box under $50

    dropped a cam in the box so I can keep an eye on things when away. Pretty cool for $60. Plus can check growth against fixed points of reference. Not to mention night vision. Anyone think the small amount of IR light will bother ladies?

    Grow box under $50

    No heat issues but I do have a 5k AC right next to the intake (filter side). It runs in the low 80's at 60-70% humidity. The girls seem to like it and are responding nicely.

    walmart drinking water

    It was my understating that using the "Lucas" formula intended to use with RO water does not mention anything about adding salt unless growing in coco. Any one have mag deficiency with RO and nutes?

    walmart drinking water

    I like "zilch". Buying water is a temp fix for me. I have a deep spring fed well and the water is awesome but the pressure tank is 30 years old and full of who knows what (some rust for sure). I am replacing pressure tank this weekend and should be on the "free water" band wagon. The walmart...

    DWC root mass question

    Thanks weedfreak That's what I was wondering. If the plant has substantial root footing and nutes on tap, why would it continue to expend energy to grow the root system.
