I have been wondering if it is possible to convert a car radiator into air conditioner since the principle looks the same and it is a lot cheaper. A car radiator cost about 200 dollars while an A/C unit cost about 1300. If anyone have experience with this please share thanks!

Ok basically there's 2 sides of the story. Some will say that aeroponics will yield about twice as much soil (at least 30% more) but others say that the peformance is similar. Also with digital ballasts many claim that it will have 30% more output but others say its similar performance...

yeah u know what guy i just took out one of the roots and they've turned all brown and skinny already. when i left they were all nice white and healthy i'ma give them a good watering with only water hope that will help any other advice please let me know thanks i appreciate it!

I had a bunch of plants blueberry and some other strains..all nice and healthy until i left town for a week and asked my room mate to take care and they're now drooping but the stems are hard but bent. (pictures attached) I'm thinking either he put the light too low for a day or 2 right after...

Anyone noticed anything significant? Please share your opinions with me

and if you do what did you seem to get out of it?

I'm using a 1000w HPS and I don't think that's the problem because I've always used the same light before. I've started to control the pH by using pH down so I'll have to see how that works in the end. Meanwhile do you guys think it's THAT necessary to use reverse osmosis? because it is...

yeah and the thing is they dont look fluffy at all! they look all nice huge and compact but when I dry them i was like wtf I thought something was wrong with the scale for a sec

Ok, so I hear that by doing the same grow routines routines, yields can be different from city to city. I'm basically getting half the yield for flowers size that looks the same so I'm trying to figure out why. I've compared the differences and talked to a few people so I narrowed down to these...

well my expected yield came from my experiences in the past..I've always gotten between 1.2-1.7 in the past. The only difference now is the setup and the water but I figured that its not the setup because few other people that are doing soil also got under 1 pound. The difference is between the...

I was expecting at least 1.5 pound/1000w HPS but only came out close to 0.85 pound :S The buds looked very nice big and juicy before drying but after it's dried there was no weight. At first I thought the scale was wrong or the difference between hydroponics and soil but I talked to some others...

Hey anyone here from Calgary or live at a place where the water starts at 260ppm? I dont know what's really in the 260 ppm but anyone know how that could affect the plants?

This plant wilted today all of sudden and its been flowering for 3 weeks in a passive half soil hydroponics system. The same problem also occured for few other plants that were in vegetative state and so far I did not find any cure for it. The only reason I can think of right now is overwatering...

Has anyone ever tried to take out moisture from your grow room without using an actual dehumidifier? I find that the dehumidifier from the store takes too much power and there must be a way to replicate the same mechanism using natural cold air outside and maybe have a bucket somewhere to...
