    Why use a tent if you have an empty bedroom?

    Just wondering because i see so many growing in tents. I understand that you would need bigger fans and filters to exhaust the room. As well as a few light barriers over windows and doors, but what are the other benefits of growing in tents. I see people buying these really expensive tents...

    Which fan should i connect to my CAN-33 filter?

    Im a little confused because the filter exhaust rating for the can 33 filter is 137-200 but you see sites selling a can fan/filter combo with the can 6" which is a 270 cfm fan. I want to connect the fan directly to the filter. Id like to get an s&p model but not sure which one.

    Flower Beds

    Anyone ever used a kiddy pool or big tubs or anything like that instead of individual pots? Would seem like a good way to maximize space. I know ive read from a few places that you shouldnt plant more then one plant per container because the roots tangle. But are plants really that smart to...

    Is PH strain dependent or just medium dependent?

    I know the ideal ph differs from hydro to soiless to soil but what about strain? Do different strains like different ph's? Because I swear my autos perfer 6.6 while my nl's seem to favor 5.8 in my promix. Could be wrong about that though.
