    Question on hydro water

    PPM .060 Its the desert, piped out of colorado river. Last well they dug for the school contained untolerable levels of arsenic and other contaminants, they had to ship as hazardous materials. , so we are reduced to filtration sponsered by the U.S. Gov. . So the overkill on filtration I figure...

    LED Choices

    Sorry, My option was a complete overhaul from 2 2x3x4 cabinets to an 8x12x7 partitioned grow room. Yeah I started something like that, however, any upgrade was better than supplimental CFL's, then a bubble kit, kept nickel and diming everytime I needed another light, pump, etc. so 1 unit, low...

    LED Choices

It has UVB bulb for late stage flowering, haven't turned them on yet, runs fairly cool with circulating air. Have T5 50/50 backups, but with 3 yr warranty, as well as, lower bills. the results are pretty...

    giving defoliation during flower a try

    Still laughing... you are a professional grower of what.. plants; fruits, vegi's, hay, or just bud.
