Holly Crap!!! Talk about the great flood, let me give out a piece of advice.
Never use a water purifier with hose attachment indoors!
I just found my room flooded with 2 inches of water..disaster!
the hose pooped out, and the room was subjected to a water hose at full blast for god knows how long.

Yea they are threaded but the water line behind the connection just poped from the pressure i guess. Not a huge problem beacuse it happend in the outside room, so it didnt mess any plants up, just my carpet and everything on the floor, one of my ballasts that was on the floor was sitting in two inches of water, but still running, i dried it out and its seems to be working just fine. Ive got fans and a shitload of towels and blankets trying to dry out the carpet...mold scares me.

I'd like to keep this thread on subject and not discuss political views just because the thread is getting too long as it is.

There is one thing I would like to say though...

I welcome everyone with open arms. The poorest of the poor. I will educate their children and teach them what it is to be a true American.

When they are sick I will give them medicine. If they don't have any money I will give them medicine for free so they won't have to suffer. No child should ever have to suffer just because they are poor.

I love everyone. I love the poor as much as I love the rich. I love Mexicans and African Americans. I even love my mother in law.

Loving everyone is fucking hard bro! I never said it was easy. You have to trust me on this though. You can replace the hate in your heart with love.

I know it sounds cheesy... Or like maybe I'm some kind of nut. (I wonder the same thing myself). Just try it once for me bro.

Next time you see an illegal alien imagine what it must be like to grow up in the worst shit hole you could ever imagine.

Ask yourself honestly if you wouldn't hop the fence to make a better life for your children too. I would...

Sometimes great people rise from very humble beginnings.

Who's to say that one of those poor children won't rise up one day to become President of the United States of America.

OK...end of discussion.

I use one but very carefully. I always check on it if I'm running it high pressure. I have also had a few floods. Keep you electronics either off the ground or place them inside a bucket, I place my timers/power strips in a rubbermaid tub, at worst they will float. I keep my ballast up on a shelf outside the box.

That's really great to hear! I'm assuming they love the taste. When it comes to growing, the thing I pride myself on the most is the taste of my bud.

Everyone says my buds taste the best. I guess now I should say "our" bud tastes the best.

It makes me really happy to know people are getting medicine they need. Thanks Dirt!

Let's see some photos...

Sorry to hear that Dirthawker. I don't know if this would have helped you, sounds like the leak was outside the grow room, but IMO everyone should be using a pond liner under their grow. Even if all your tubs bust open you'll have no more work than sucking up the water with a wet vac. Something to consider.

Plastic liner is required equipment anywhere there is water. I use thick poly that is black on one side and white on the other.

I line my floor up to about 4" and tape it well.

I never wear shoes inside my grow rooms.

It keeps the liner from being damaged and you can track pests from outside on the bottom of your shoes.

I thought you guys might like to see the difference between growing with CO2 and growing without.

Both buds are NYC Diesel.

The bud on the left is grown under a 1000W MH light without CO2. Since all the plants are the same height I'm able to keep the light very close to the plants.

The bud on the right is grown with CO2 under 2-1000W HPS lights. The lights are about 3-4ft. away.

The calyxes on the bud with CO2 are the size of a pencil eraser!

To truly do the experiment correctly you need 4 clones, 2 in a separate room without CO2 and the other 2 in a room with the CO2. Both rooms need the same nutrient schedule and the same lighting at the same height.

But those are impressive buds.

I am very impressed considering the tremendous dropoff in height (2-3ft higher lights for plants w/co2) and the ^2reduction in lumens. Very impressive indeed!

I've yet to see a better comparison.

Stink and stinkbuddies, it has taken me a few weeks to read this whole thing but i finally caught up, gotta tell ya, there is some good stuff here, anyways, what do you guys think of this light for clones and veg plants? I attached the link but i dont know if i did it correct so the ebay # is 130288705728

thanks


StinkBud said:
Yes, just don't put the cloner very close to the lights. Too much light on the clones causes them to transpire too much water.

They will wilt and die. Clones need just enough light to stay alive and pop roots.

If you have the room you are better off with just a cheap shop fluorescent light for the clones and use the 400 over the veg. That would actually kick ass big time!

Another option would be to just use shop lights for both your clones and veg and use your 400 in the flower room. That's where you need the most light.

Even if you already have lights for your flower room you can never have too much light.

Up to now i havent needed to cool the lights beacuse ive had my exhaust fan running 24/7.. but i just got c02 and the vent fan needs to be turned off while the co2 is in the room...when my exhaust fan is off the room skyrockets to 96deg in 25 minutes.
