    Hello MacGruders! Here's me little inside grow...

    Um. I checked out your pics and frankly I don't know how you arrived at that conclusion. But until you and I get rulers out and measure height and width with chronographs I am not getting into it. If you think you're better, cool. The soil I did was terrible. I had never tried and used the...

    Hello MacGruders! Here's me little inside grow...

    Good news! The Willie Nelson turned out to be female! Allright! So they're both trained and doing well. You can see the sidebranching after a few days (pic 2, 3). I wanted to show a picture of them all but my camera took a dive. The last two pics show a technique I came up with myself...

    Hello MacGruders! Here's me little inside grow...

    Hey mang(s) Argh, crappy crappy times. So far 2 males 1 female. I'm worried the Willie might have a willy too. Well, I got 4/4 fem's last time I grew so I guess this balances it out. I have clones of the SC, here's hoping she's purple. 2 plants left and that soil. Check out the roots...

    DWC Root Chilling System

    Man that's great. What kind of A/C do you use? The one I have the stupid fan stays on as long as the unit is on. If it goes off you have to reset what temp you want. Argh. My room stays about 80-82 without the exhaust going off. Back to the chiller. I've found that the best...

    DWC Root Chilling System

    Yeah FF, the prob with those (and I have one) is that they freakin' reset when off. So you can't just 'fire and forget'. The next time the timer turns on the dum Ac stays off. The one I have the stupid fan is on as long as it's on whether it's cooling or not. I can watch it suck my nice Co2 down...

    DWC Root Chilling System

    Did you have to modify that A/C to work on a thermo? Most I've found 'reset' when off so they can't just be plugged into a timer/thermo. If you have a brand or what you did that would be great b/c the A/C I have is almost worthless the way it is.

    DWC Root Chilling System

    I think this is a good idea FF, just be careful not to chill to low. Frankly I don't like the idea of ice. The changes are just too dramatic. I agree with FDD, the nutes aren't the secret. The enviroment is. Now, if you don't have the luxury of an outdoor spread, you're gonna be responsible to...

    DWC Root Chilling System

    Well, I'm pretty sure, because I have a thermometer in the roots. It's in the pics. I guess no one read the hydroponics article. This isn't 'put a crystal and pee in my plant' type of tech, it's real science with comparison groups. What do you base 74 being too high? Did you see in the...

    DWC Root Chilling System

    I've had a hydro grow for years. I haven't done squat with nutes for a long time but I always look at ways to make the environment more hospitable. Root temps have been an issue. I think I've developed some problems in the past that were solely related to heat. This year I started keeping...

    Bcseedking sucks*

    I hate fem seeds. I had an awesome fem Power Plant grow spoiled by a herm. Only grow that ever turned out like that. It's not b/c of stress, it's b/c these plants have had their genetix messed with. I read about the chem they use to change the seed genetix. Not something I'm interested in.

    It's All Bullsh*t

    Just read this thread. Definetly agree. The more stuff I've added the worse I got. I use Grow, Bloom (but Canna for hyrdo). I add superthrive and that's it. I wish I could grow outdoors but can't. I've kept the same basic nutes (Canna A/B) and spent the last two years working on maximizing...

    Yes, true. It's one part I was going to add. Good point. But without the heat issues it's not going to take much to provide air exchange. I've already done a grow in this cab that was far more ghetto than what I have in it now. Air exchange was leaving the door cracked and a non-osc fan...

    Lumen and spectrum are both important for growing. You can have great spectrum, but if you don't have high enough light hitting the plant you're not going anywhere. So your lumen/cubic foot is an important measurement. These measurements complement each other, they're not exclusive. Optimal is...

    Light efficiency: I would never use CFL for the whole shebangabang but for purposes of clones it is fine. You need 2-3 lumen/cu.ft. So for, lightSpace = area between the light and the first third of plant, 6-29 inches. widthRoom = 17.5 inches lengthRoom = 27 inches growSpace cubic...

    too much light? heat?

    90f is too hot. You are going to get heat stress then root rot. Dissolved oxygen drops as the temp increases. Chance of mold and spider mite reproduction skyrocket. All not good. You could decrease lights and increase light efficiency. I just freakin' posted on a cab I built using 150w CFL...

    Setups?

    You can build a lot of your stuff if you want which will drop costs. But some things you can't cheap out on. I haven't seen a vented hood, bulb and ballast for anything under 300$. If you add Co2 you are a adding a grand. You need Co2 meter, unit to coordinate vents (so Co2 on only during...

    Hey holmes... Check out this baby. I'm really psyched to use it. This is a secondary grow room for clones/seedlings (I use it in conjunction with a larger veg/flower room running 1600W HID). I built the basic cab last year but had to borrow a fluoro hood. I had no watering system and was...

    Hello MacGruders! Here's me little inside grow...

    These pics are a week from the last. I moved WN back a bit and moved them apart. Once I know how many fem's I have I'll do the final adjustments before starting training. The soil is in the corner. Man, I really suck at soil. heh heh... I put in the second light (600w HPS). Drove the room...
