I have the Viparspectra PAR 600 light myself for those curious about power consumption. During veg I used only the white and blue spectrum (due to heat issues) which was about 180 W per hour. So at 18/6 you would use 3.2 kW. Full spectrum it uses about 276 W during 12/12 you would use about the...

Makes sense. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Have a great weekend!

I have to admit I am slightly surprised at the small issues I had with my Gorilla tent. I wasn't expecting it to be bulletproof by any means. The zipper teeth became stuck during my first 2 weeks of use and caused the one tooth to not align now. I just zip it slowly and it is fine. Still...

I believe we should have a vaping section or sub forum possibly under concentrates and extracts. I don't want to have to keep lurking on a different forum for good vaping advice :( If this is the wrong area please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Totally agree with you. Sorry I don't have anything to contribute or help. I plan on vaping myself (doing my first grow right now) I find this section lacking organization and often end up lurking on fuckcombustion.com. I've found some great info over there as they're basically all about/geared...

Can't bitch to myself now about never winning anything if I never enter haha

I bought Method Seven LED glasses on Amazon. They weren't terribly expensive. I want to say around $60 Carl Zeiss lenses and 100% UV protection. I don't look the coolest but my eyes love it.

Thank you for clarifying this for me. So minimum I should at least be glancing at the in-going pH correct? I guess it just feels weird to dump nutes and cal mag and not at least check it before it goes in. I will stop chasing the pH runoff dragon and just invest in a nice soil probe down the...

Agreed with adding some sort of CO2 supplement for indoor growing if you're not able to get fresh air into the tent. I am still doing my first grow in a similar tent as you, 2'x2'.5"x5. ScrOG. Viparspectra 600 PAR. I run DIY CO2 using the yeast method. My plants love it. It's very cost...

So keep it at 7 going in? I figured it would lead me down a rabbit hole as I've seen it mentioned. I was concerned seeing that number keep rising on me. My notes were erased recently but I believe I added 3 or 6 tsp of dolomite lime to the 3 gallons of soil. Will that do the job?

The last couple of waterings I have noticed my pH runoff starting to rise. I was initially watering pH 7 and when I started to see it creep up above 7.3 runoff I left my pH of the water going in to around 6.1-6.3 which is about what my tap water goes down to after adding cal mag or nutes when...

"Bonsai style" mother plants for small areas.

I wanted to chime my 2 cents in after reading this. I am also going to be making my own vape juice after my first grow and I am by no means an expert. I would personally not use ISO (not trying to start anything here) They add shit to it to make it unsafe for human consumption and that's not...

As always I appreciate your answers! And thank you for the info about putting a pure UV bulb on a separate timer.

Well shit, now I want to add a 2ft UV T5 in my tent. Is there anything special to look for when buying a UV Bulb?
