    Harvest time?

    Thanks, and true, but at the same time I live in New England and it helps me consider climate change and changes I might make to my setup. I'm also moving to a hot climate and need to consider the exact days when things will be too hot / cool enough. Main reason it gives an exact amount of days...

    Harvest time?

    i reference day of the year as a measure of calculating how long a plant is in a cycle, down to the day. These seeds were planted around 101-104 which is in the 2nd week of April. and thanks, I'm thinking the same but don't really know.

    Harvest time?

    Haven't grown in a while. These two autos were planted around day 101-104(4/11-4/14). I was running them 24/0 for approximately 1 month and beginning to decrease that time slightly each night. On 5/8 the lights were accidentally off for approximately 21 hours. At the time they were under a...

    Best led for 2x4

    Hear me out.... and this is based on my ownership and working experience with tents. Spider-farmer 2.3'x4.6' with two FC-E3000 at 75% or Vivosun 32"x60" with two FC-E3000 at 75% just my take, thats a solid build and a very reasonable and economical footprint. I've had 4x4's. I still have one...

    Northern lights not as I expected

    For sure on the temps, if you can't cure the temps running a humidifer and occasional fan will help. Cool cures don't just work better, they help prevent molds. I am on my 8th/9th grows at the moment after a hiatus for quite a while. Last time I used a 4x4 tent for drying with fresh air...

    Northern lights not as I expected

    hmm, well, potency does matter to the drying and curing process, but it's not everything. Pulling early is usually associated with ineffective bud. The drying and curing process is an art. It does look like you have a lot of bud in each jar. I would go closer to half full, or less. I use quart...

    Growings really changed

    Brands like KMC also make Alexa enabled electricity monitors which dual serve as wifi plugs, so not only can you control them and put them on a schedule, but you also can monitor just how much electricty your setups are pulling. I'm planning on getting one of these in the future to see how much...

    Growings really changed

    Thought I'd post this here since it's a pretty newbie sounding post. I haven't been growing for quite some time and it's kind of bananas how stuff has changed. I'd love to hear any feedback from people who have been growing before, or through out this time period, what you might have to say...

    Looking for Info From Users with 1000W Raptor Reflectors Please.

    I mean 4x6 is inherently better suited for 2 lights, that's just the truth. But you could do it

    Looking for Info From Users with 1000W Raptor Reflectors Please.

    Maybe, 4x6 might be better suited for 2 600w LED's

    Looking for Info From Users with 1000W Raptor Reflectors Please.

    LOL, yea, it is older. Yes 4x4+ is appropriate for 1k watts. 5x5 would be ideal.

    Hello everyone, I'm new here & getting setup for my first grow. I have questions & need advice!

    i did autofems first. I can't say if it's better or worse. In theory, I would believe they're probably more forgiving to light leaks and changes. Aside from shorter grow time, that's probably the only benefit for newer growers. Just do them for a different grow :). Don't scrap what you have.

    Hello everyone, I'm new here & getting setup for my first grow. I have questions & need advice!

    Also get little things on ebay or at the dollar tree, stuff like that. My trimming stuff was all a dollar per pair. you can save a lot. search lowest + shipping on ebay. My bottom-rate MH/HPS ebay setup works just fine, and I went all out on Lumatek my first time around. There's no difference.

    Hello everyone, I'm new here & getting setup for my first grow. I have questions & need advice!

    its sounding like you're being a little too cautious. you dont need to spend so much. My suggestion is, for your first grow: -coco -just get A+B nutes, H+G is a great way to go. don't do anything more. just get an A+B. -EC and PH -~75 dollar 400 or 600w ebay HPS, dim it like you mentioned...

    Quiet exhaust fans?

    this. CFM matters. Here's some truth: -you can build a box, put the fan and filter in the box and attach inlets to make it quieter -fan controllers may degrade the inline fan and shorten it's lifespan. use a fan controller meant for your fan. -inline fans not specifically labeled as "quiet"...

    Bought a new home equals new grow

    you may still want vented hoods for more heat control. you can always pull off the glass if you decide. even in fall or spring you could have high temp issues.

    Bought a new home equals new grow

    I feel you. You don't wanna buy pointless shit, and it may be good to have a little bit of flexibility to change during seasons or depending on what lights you want running at a certain time. I would agree with you that it may be better just to keep mothers/clones beyond May. You can keep them...
