My previous journal was lost with the rollback. I wanted to give a quick update and take it from here. This is my first grow so I only did a single plant to work things out before I ramped up. So far I've learned tons and looking forward to the next round. Here are some specifics of this...
After looking around and reading for a while I decided to build my own LED Veg light. I wanted to follow a couple design goals:
1 - Modular - if something breaks/burns out I need it easy to tear down and replace
2 - Cool/Silent - after having a hard time controlling the heat in my 250HPS grow...
I lost my journal and most of my posts. Wanted to some opinions on my girl. If any of you remember she has had a rough time. She staerted looking better after I added more nutes/CalMag and finally got the temps under control.
Some general info:
AK48 from Nirvana from seed

There was a post from last week that got lost that I was interested in. Basically talking about the efficiency of white LEDs and producing lumens compared to red/blue/other color LEDs. While I lean towards PAR over lumens I did find a grow using white LEDS and was surprised with the veg...
First time grower, probably spend too much time looking at plants. Noticed a slight yellowing/browning on one set of leaves. The AK48 is about 15 days from sprout. Growing in 4:4:2 Soil:CoCo Chunks: EWC. Soil meter says soil ~6.2 and I water with 6.0 water. Anything else I should be doing...
Just ordered this and thought I would pass it on. Seemed to be a great deal. 8 site DWC, light bar, 250w light, both bulbs, timer, seed kit and FREE Shipping. May be a price mistake, but I think Home Depot will honor it. What do you guys think...
I have a couple vegetables starting around my AK48 plant and I noticed a very small mushroom on one of the brussel spouts. I havn't seen anything around my AK48, but I'm removing all other plants from the area. The grow mix is 4:4:2 Soil:CoCo Chunks: Worm Castings and I'm going to skip the...
This little guy has been above the ground for 7 days. I notice a slight inconsistency in the color of the leaves, I assume this is normal and I have too much time on my hands but I wanted to make sure. Thanks!
Tried over in Newbie area with no response. I building my own EZ Cloner with a 5 gallons bucket and 8 netpot sites. My plan is to have 4 EZ Clone sprayers but need to know the size of pump to supply it. Ill be running a timer for 1 minute on 5 minutes off. I estimate about a 180GPH (runs...

Trying to setup my grow space and have a 250W MH/HPS but I can't control the heat hitting ~93F. Ambient room temp is ~77, and I don't have room for a separate air conditioner. Realistically can I vent the heat down to a manageable level or should I consider a cooler light solution possibly...
Could I run 2 HO T5s in this T8 using some adapters?

Just placed an order and I have six strains are on their way (plus 2 bonus seeds) :clap: I'm really new at this and want something pretty idiot proof. They are all feminized, so what should I grow first? Here is what I have:
Nirvana - White Castle
Nirvana - Northern Lights
Royal Dutch...
I'm completely new to this and trying to keep things simple. I ordered a 250W HPS/MH for most of my growing but here is my plan:
1 - Germinate Seeds
2 - Veg under 250W MH
3 - Take clones and place mother in separate vegging box powers by CFL's
4 - Veg clones under 250 MH
5 - Flower...
I'm prepping for my first grow and need some advice on seed selection. I have a waterfarm set up and the 250W HPS\MH on its way. My grow area is 2' x 2' x 5.5' Should I go with fems or regulars? I want something fairly robust and forgiving and would like a quicker turn around time for...
