    How do you water?

    Greetings! I'm curious as to what kind of rigs you all have set up to water your plants in soil. Do you simply use a watering can? Do you have some sort of unique elaborate set up? Anyone out there have their watering automated? Just looking for some ideas and to share some ideas. Thanks in...

    Sufficient lighting? what do you think?

    7x7 is just over 4 m2. Going by the minimum space rule you just made up, he/she will be all set. As long as you can keep those temps in check, certainly fire both.

    Day 1 flower blueberry gum 1000w

    Decent strain. Ok flavor. Ok yield. Ok potency. Just ok really. Certainly better ones out there, but not bad, won't wow anyone.

    1000w vs. 600w

    I agree. 600w are more efficient. True statement and a Corolla is also more efficient than a Ferrari,does that mean it's a better car? See, it's all about what you are trying to achieve. 1000w lights are brighter, they grow bigger, they grow quicker, they use more juice. I'll take the Ferrari.

    1000w vs. 600w

    IMO it's just a matter of personal preference. Of course 2 600w will put out more lumens than 1x1k, it's 200 more W. What happens if you compare 2x1000w vs 3x600w? The 1000's cover a bigger footprint 5x10 vs 4x12, and put out more lumens with the same 200w advantage the 6's have in the 2v1...

    How much research did you do before finally planting?

    The fact that so many have mixed results with their first grown says a lot. You can research research research, and you can have good results your first try, but until you truly understand your plants it's tough to get all the components right (quality, yield, appeal). Working with the...

    How much research did you do before finally planting?

    I have a feeling many have followed a similar path as chrishydro. There is certainly something to be said about learning by doing. You undoubtedly pick up a better understanding of the ramifications of your actions on your final results.

    How much research did you do before finally planting?

    Greetings 'uppers! Quick question, how much time did you put into research before you actually jumped into your first grow? Did you spend hundreds of hours reading and prepping before the launch? Did you throw some seeds in the dirt and fly by the seat of your pants? How were the results of...

But yeah, they are fan cooled which I think should do nothing but help longevity. I'm just a big fan of bring able to pick and choose your wattage and bulb, so they can scale...

    Cheap and quiet fan/filter combo

    If odor control is that important, I'd hold off and build up the budget a bit. I love the phat filters big, heavy, and effective, and are mid-range price wise. You will need a bigger fan than you think, with a speed controller. If you run the fan full power, most every fan out there is pretty...
