    Cooling the solution in DWC

    This is a cooling unit I’ve built to control the solution temp of my DWC buckets. In the right foreground you you see a pink box. That is ducting (made of Owens Corning pink) surrounding my AC unit. At the bottom of the ducting you may be able to see the round flex ducting that send the cool...

    Can you put the carbon filter out of the tent?

    The white shroud is an intake filter to prevent the fan from sucking fine foreign material into your filter if you’ve positioned your filter inside the tent. The shroud will not contain the near microscopic carbon granules that will blow out of a filter positioned outside your grow room.

    Free mistakes - that you don’t have to make

    I’m not a good enough grower to tell anyone how to do anything but I can share some phuck-ups I’ve made so you don’t have to. 1. When is your the dark period in bloom? My latest grow was this summer. I thought I‘d put my dark period in the daytime to help keep grow room temps...

    Hydroponics and PPM

    If you’re using a feeding chart, just remember the entity that made the feeding chart makes their money off the nutes you use. Especially early in the grow, I use 1/3 the suggested amount. My results support this approach.

    buds are top heavy!

    Ditch the bamboo stakes. Bamboo carries mildew. You do not want that in your grow room.
