    Lighting Dilemma

    Use strips of velcro that you can buy at any hardware store and use it on all of your joints of the cupboard. cut intake and exhaust holes at the back if possible. cover them with angled cardboard to still alow airflow but minimal light escape

    Is it suppose to turn to ash when burned?

    roll a joint and smoke it, if it burns evenly and a decent pace than it should be fine. if its hard to keep lit and burns fucked u still need to cure for a while. when you smoke a joint, put an ash in your hand and squish it, all the ash that isnt white is chemicals:)

    Starting 250 watt HPS/MH Closet Grow. Have some questions about ventilation!

    Starting 250 watt HPS/MH Closet Grow. Have some questions about ventilation!

    if anything i would put a fan at the exhaust hole sucking the air out. it is much easier to pull air than to push it. if you have a fan sucking air out the top it will automatically draw air in through your intake holes at the bottom. if you only want 1 fan in your grow space this is the msot...

    Why is my 1000w ballast cold?

    you have probably blown a resistor. i would highly suggest getting a new ballast ASAP because with out a resistor you will probably burn out your light fairly quick. if it is your resistor you will notice that the light start up will be different, it will either be Super rapid(no warm up time)...

    Advanced nutrients calculator help

    sorry 1000 ppm is the range you want for aggressive full vegetative growth. what conversion factor does your meter use because that will give you completley whacky answers. they are usually either .5 conversion scale or .7 conversion scale. if you have a .5 conversion scale then in DWC with...

    Starting 250 watt HPS/MH Closet Grow. Have some questions about ventilation!

    you dont need to run your duct pipes out side just make your the air in your grow space is being changed quite often. running duct pipes out windows is really suspicious and when your plants are flowering you would need to get a carbon filter. i would get a thermometer also. make sure your...

    If you really want to get one i would go with the second one just because it is a bit bigger http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-243-_-Product but like dormeo said, it would probably be easier to make one or make somethign similar for a lot cheaper. for growing in a PC case you would need...
