I just signed up at my new local normal chapter... our meeting last week had a packed house! I hope more people get involved to help raise awareness to the misinformed.

That's exactly what I need... good lookin out man.

Well, I switched from the soiless to hydroton purely because it dirtied my res and because I was told Botanicare ships the mix with their hydro systems because it weighs the least, and it was pretty poor quality. Right now, I'm watering the hydroton 6 times a day, or every two hours. I'm...

I'm sorry it has taken so long to post up to anyone who cared. Anyways, I've made some improvements and worked out most of the bugs at this point. My plants suffered a little stress when I was on vacation, I had no idea how much more water they would consume with the higher temps and co2. I'm...

Man I would say heat looking at those curling leaves. Maybe pH.

Nice cab man! Your so lucky to be able to run that A/C in there... 2 cabs with the 1000 for flower and 400 for veg sounds ideal. If not, have you thought about getting a conv. bulb and mixing the spectrum in your flower cab?

So my plan is to go get a 20lb. bottle and regulator tomorrow. I'm on the fence about running an environmental controller. :peace:

Thank you sir! I feel like my ventilation setup will do the trick, I'm just not 100% sure on the logistics of the ducting. The summer around here is hot as hell and all I'm working with is a 5000 btu window a/c in my room about 5 ft away from the closet door. I have another 4 inch squirrel...

Alright I'm starting my new journal. I recently redid my closet from the ground up, and I have clones begging to be planted tonight. I'm running a Quantum digital 600 HPS, 6 inch inline Can Fan, 4 inch Hydrofarm squirrel cage, and a 4 inch carbon filter. Everything blows into the attic. I will...

Basically, the tray floods about 4-5 inches. So if you want to use the balls, make sure that the pots get almost all flooded. On the opposite end of the spectrum, rockwool, you would flood about one inch. I would recommend those 8 inchers with soiless mix for sure. But thats just my take.

No new pics yet, that will come :eyesmoke:. My flowering room is being totally redone. I wouldn't run the 8 inch pots if you want to flood hydroton, the tray only fills like 4 inches. If you want to flood, get a bag of better soilless mix than it comes with so it will wick up into the whole...

Probably your best bet man. I would also look into a drip kit for that. 6 hoses would be easy to maintain and would water the roots a little better. All you would need is a fitting/splitter for the flood fitting and the 1/4 hose.

Well the tray is 2 feet wide and 3 feet long so you have some room to play with. Your best bet would be to go to your local hydro shop and check out there pots in a turbogarden to get exactly what you need, cause it does have the drain fittings and the little res door notch. The bigger the...

Bugs can come in on your cat if it frequents the garden... I'd keep her outside :cool: Pretty clean little stealth grow there. Looks good brother!

Too kind Yeti... as far as advice man besides the usual checking ppm, tds, flushing res, etc., the 14 pots that come with the TG are small... don't grow from seed in these pots, I would only put rooted clones in them. They got pretty root bound in mine. If you aren't growing 14 plants, I would...
