That's exactly what I was thinking, but you're probably right, worrying about trivialities probably makes no difference in the end.

My first crop was grown solely with hps and the results were excellent, but controlling the heat was a challenge. For my 2nd grow, I'm using (2)125W CFLs for veg, planning to switch to 400W hps for flowering. So far, things are going very well. I like the lower temps, lower electric bill, and...

I have grown bag seed that turned out absolutely dynamite. But... If you're growing indoors, IMHO you're better off getting seeds from a reputable source for two reasons: 1. You've already spent a lot of money on equipment. I doesn't make sense cheaping out on seeds and risk ending up with...

Can someone recommend a good source for replacement carbon?

I'm using the 117cfm fan for room ventilation in addition to another, similar but smaller (92mm), fan used exclusively for cooling the light hood. A third fan runs the carbon filter. Altogether, the three fans are still quieter and cheaper by far than the one 4" inline fan.

Man, the same thing happened to me. The guy at the hydro shop talked me into a 600W for my 3x3 closet. It was way too much and couldn't control the heat. Luckily, it was a dimmable ballast and I ended up running a 400W on the same ballast. The 4" inline fan I bought ended up being a bit much...

In this pic of the overflow/drain tube on my setup, you can see how short the one on the left is. That's the one from the pump. Adding or removing spacers on the overflow tube on the right determines the max height of the nutrient solution. You could add the spacers to the tube on the left, but...

You should remove the spacers on tube from the pump to get it as low as possible. You want the bottom of the growing media to be completely above the level of the nutrient solution when not on the watering cycle. Rockwool will draw nutrient solution up from the bottom through capillary action...

I think I heard somewhere that they go dormant after flowering, but come back again after a while. I'll bet you could easily find out more with a little online research. I had one live for at least four years. I remember it flowering several times. I never gave it fertilizer but did feed it...

Hydrofarm makes a 150, but I haven't used it. I imagine it's not a huge amount of light, though. No matter how small your garden. For something in that wattage and price, you might do better with a CFL setup.

No matter what type of light you use, your fan(s) will make more noise.

Check out this grow. https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/452809-riversides-first-grow-stealth-bookshelf-4.html I don't know about you, but the buds look pretty impressive to me. Grown start to finish with LED.

I'm glad I ran across this thread. According to many posts I've read, growing nice buds is totally impossible under LEDs. Clearly you've proven them wrong. I'm on my first indoor grow with a 400W HPS. Winter is fast approaching and the heat in my closet grow is barely under control. I can't...

I'll try that!

I've put on a bigger fan and went from watering once per day to every other day. How much H2O2 should I add to a 10 gal reservoir? Will this kill the fungus? (I'm assuming it's a fungus).
