That is total BS about the lady bugs dude. Do u not know that spider mites aren't even food for the lady bugs. They will eat em, but only cause there's nothing else. Also, lady bugs don't give a shit about food until they mate. After that, they die. Then the eggs hatch, the LARVAE.eat the Fuck...

I know this post is old but I grow Blue Widow quite successfully. Indoor, 1000w lights, hydro, 7 ft tall plants, 12 days left. I expect 8-12 oz a plant at least. I might get a pound out of a few big uns. Last crop was good, but my nutrients were at half strength and my co2 is dialed in a little...

Are those 240 plugs? What's the white wire connecting the two outlets? If its a hot jumper, then your relying on that plug to take the heat to power the other. I think... I'm not an electrician, but i always see pig tails with wire nuts to feed other outlets on a single line... As long as ur...

I use Hydroton and when I clean out my buckets, its a huge root mass. But it doesn't seem to he hurting anything. I will consider this if i do not reach my expected yields after I remodel.

Exactly, that's why I figured the 24,000 BTU would work. My shop is insulated, I run the lights at night, and shove a lot of air through the hoods to keep the bulbs cooler... I just wanted to minimize co2 leakage. I survived last summer with this thrown together operation. :fire:

Also, right now with the co2 burner, 8 lights, and dehumidifier, 3 little window units keep it under control, barely. That's 15,000 btu...

It is a lot of lights, I have a very dense canopy and large plants. Ballasts are outside the room, I have fans running air through the lights, and out of the room. This is my 4rth crop. My best and largest. Last one I got 8oz out of my biggest. I wasn't using a high enough nutrient solution, so...

I got 7 ft tall, 4 ft wide in 5 gallon buckets... 1000w is a little much, buf if you do co2 and increase your nutrients... And u know since he's already got the light he's gonna use it.

I'm doing a major remodel and expanding my room. I am using co2 and want it to stay in the room. My thoughts were a 24,000 btu window/wall a/c. Area is 800 sq ft. Running eight one thousand watts and venting them all. I am getting one more 1000 and getting light movers. I flood the room with co2...

Is your panel wired right? If you have a sub panel in a seperate building, and this panel receives power from the main panel in your house, it may not be wired right. There are two ways it could be wired. 3, and 4 wire service. If you have 3 wires going to your sub panel they are 2 hot...

You don't know how thick the canopy will be. 1000w for a 5x5 space for coverage, and don't forget penetration! What about dealing with heat? Are u venting the light? Fresh air in and exhaust? Size of plants matters for space. So if ur doing one big plant u need the thousand, but if your doing 6...

Here's a single 240v plug wired up correctly. If I were to add another one you would use wire nuts to tie 3 sets of wire together. Attaching wires from Tue second plug to the wires going to the first plug, and tie your main wire to both. All tied into the wire nuts together.

So no matter what, there should only be three wires going to the plugs. Hot, hot and ground for 240, or hot, ground, and neutral for 110. If its 110v then wire the neutrals together on screw one. Also make sure the ballasts are set appropriately for 110, or 240.

Right? I should have started with that. It looks good accept the neutrals. There shouldn't be the white wires going to the plugs... It looks like he's trying to run 240v. Either way, 240 requires 2 hot and a ground. And 110 has 1 hot, a neutral and a ground. I mixed my neutral and ground once...

My red and black are the hot "in". Green and blue are my hot "out" the white and green tied with the bare ground wires are grounds as well. These are NOT The correct colors for code applications. I'm remodeling in a month and I'm doing everything to code.
