    What not to do.

    Being new to indoor growing and coming up on my first harvest in about 2 weeks I thought I would share what I think I did wrong. Maybe others can add to the list from their experiences. 1) Yellow bag Miracle Grow. While this worked fantastic for me outdoors, not so much indoors in 2 gallon...

    Silent Humidifiers

    ooopps (Dehumidifiers gotta stop posting after medicating).Yeah I know no such thing. However there has to be a quieter one than what I have a 30 pint Solarus. It runs at 41db which is not good enough. Anyone know of a unit that is silent-ish...?

    Miracle Grow or Fox Farms or ?

    Have always used Miracle Grow indoors and out with what I would call very good results. Currently have a cycle at 6 weeks on Miracle Grow and a second cycle at 1 week is half Miracle Grow and half Fox Farms Ocean Forest. Thought I would do a comparison to see if the grass might be greener on the...

    HPS/MH, LED wattage

    Recently switched from MH/HPS to LED, verdict still out as I'm still in veg. but it does look promising. So the debate on wattage between HPS and LED is puzzling.

    How loud is your circulation fan?

    Mine is 16" wall mount it oscillates and on low it is stupid loud. Does anyone make one that oscillates but hangs rather than mount to the wall. This would eliminate the transfer of sound vibrations through the wall. I prefer a wall mount as in my case it works best for placement. What are you...

    Humidity Meters

    Ready to go but...

    We have our bridgelux leds with meanwell HGL drivers set up and I am now ready to power everything up. But my potentiometers have yet to arrive as these drivers have external dimming and it appears it may be a couple of weeks before they get here. Can I run at full power by twisting the positive...

    Are these drivers correct?

    In another thread it was mentioned that using led gardners suggestion setting up various sizes of LED strips footprints may on drivers have an issue. The B driver series suggested was not delivering max watts on the strips and an A driver should have been used instead?. I have the above and...
