    Basement Grow

    I have decided to go for 5x20 rectangular rooms rather than two 10x10 primarily to create an aisle down the side of each room. Thank you GOLDBERG71. Regarding vapor barrier, I had anticipated a concrete epoxy for the floors, panda film for the ceiling, and mylar for the walls. I already have...

    Basement Grow

    Expanding into a basement. Concrete floors and walls. Area is 10'6" x 28'4" What breakdown in room sizes would you recommend? I was hoping to do an 8'x10' mother / clone room and ether (2) 10'x10' flowering rooms with (4) 1000's each or if it's not too much wattage: (2) 5'x20' rooms with (5)...

    Existing Electrical in House is Concerning

    Thank you, droopy107! Looks like I will have to replace either the breaker or the wire, so I may as well open the panel and do everything the best way possible. I had originally planned on running the lights on 240 and everything else on 120, but if I'm running wires, should I consider fans...

    Existing Electrical in House is Concerning

    First, thank you everyone for the amazing support out there! I will make my question brief: I have purchased a home and am expanding. I would like to add an 8-light controller. I will be using the existing 80A 240V that was for the electric range (new range is gas). However, the wiring used for...

    Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

    I had been Aza-Max'ing, but stopped before flowering. I don't want to spray chemicals on my smoke. Right after this picture was taken, I started hitting it w/ a finely-misting but powerfully agitating garden sprayer. I think that pissed 'em off, b/c I've stopped seeing them on the leaves...

    How much UVB per plant?

    I have read that UVB supplement lighting can drastically increase THC content. I personally don't use UVBs, although I am willing to spend the money on on to test that theory. I would not use that as your primary light. But, as a supplement to a 400 or 600W HPS, it would certainly make a great...

    Window Venting Questions

    I am very concerned. My exhaust air has hit 97°F. Average canopy temperature is 85.2°F. Ambient temperature near reflectors and ducting is 88°F. Ambient house temperature is 77°F. I am considering shutting everything down and waiting until winter months. Can anyone give suggestions? Thank you.

    Window Venting Questions

    And maybe not the FBI, but state LEO is another concern. There is some noise, but not as much as a window unit AC. An empty AC shell in the window should cover it up. I certainly don't want to re-run all that ducting!

    Yes, that is my concern. I am not in a compassionate state. Correction to previous post: my exhaust air is 93°F.

    Window Venting Questions

    I have just discovered that the attic space above this room does not connect well with the attic space of the rest of the house. Apparently this room was a porch or add-on, and the volume of attic space above this room is small, and goes nowhere. My fear is that if I duct into this space through...

    I am currently running one 216W SunBlaze 44 (4x 4' T5 Fluorescent) and one 400W MH in a 6" Cool Breeze inside of tents. The other half of my 9' x 14' is one 600W electronic HPS in a Sun Systems XXXL reflector. I have built 39" x 57" x 10" boxes over both windows in the room--one for intake, one...
