Cool, thanks.

They look great. In theory you can veg them indefinitely, it’s up to you when you would like to trigger the flower phase and the only consideration really is if the plant is healthy (got to be in shape for show time) and is it big enough. If you’re happy the plant is healthy and the plant is a...

As mentioned, faulty timer left my plants in darkness for15 hours, can I continue to veg or will they now begin to flower no matter what?

As a space saver you could strap the filter vertical in the top corner of your tent with the connector at the roof outlet and strap the fan to it pointing straight up. Only space you’ll be using is one top corner of your tent which is space rarely used anyway (keep the middle free for lights)...

Ha, it was from your very post that prompted me to make this thread >_< I just can’t accept a deal can be that good, there absolutely must be a catch, so I started this thread to see if there are others who’ve used these Have you purchased the light and tested it? I might see if they’ll send...

No offense China, but this isn’t my first rodeo. In the pic attached the vendor claims to be selling a Spider SF 2000 for $124.... so you can appreciate my skepticism. They provide PPFD chart, I’m not sure if it’s the manufacturer data, but if the light delivers what the documentation claims...

Yeah I suppose LED or HPS. It seems all lights recommend a hanging height of between 12” and 24” inches, but then when you see a pro set up lights look several feet away from canopy. I’ve attached a random example. I’m just wondering how come in larger gardens lights can be so far away.

Just a curiosity thing as I attempt to learn. Can someone explain how / why professional grow lights are so far from canopy? It looks like lights can be 4 to 6 feet from plants in some instances, how is that efficient and what kind of PPFD would these lights put out compared to more standard 1...

Bump, would be very interested to hear what people are seeing in NYC per lb these days

thank you my friend, I really appreciate your reply, very helpful info.

how much does a pound go for in NYC, wholesale?

Just as a convenience thing, if you shop around you could get an electric hoist for around $60, could be handy to have a switch to lower or raise your lights.

The exhaust pumps the air out the window but the inlet just pulls from my living room which is generally reasonably cool, around 70. I guess the cooler air going in is far more important than the hot air being pulled out, hence my fascination with exhausts being the main tool for temperature...

Carbon filters are exceptionally effective at odor control (assuming the room is otherwise sealed, such as in a grow tent), just make sure the filter is compatible with the fan you’re using, by that I mean the fan can’t be too strong / powerful for the filter, or the air won’t have enough time...

All of you guys have been exceptionally helpful with reservoir information, automation information and general criticisms to be aware of and overcome, I appreciate all of you, blown away and very happy to have found this community, I promise to input at least as much information as I get out of...
