Thanks for the response. I was worried such a drastic and permanent schedule change halfway through their flower cycle would put my ladies in a bad mood.
I would like to change my lights from being on in the day (8am-8pm) to on in the night (8pm-8am). Right now the days are getting warmer and my temps are getting a little high and will only continue to get higher.
Could I turn the lights out for 24 hours and then start up a completely opposite...
Some comments on dispensary prices.
I'm so tired of those bastards beating me down on price and telling me they can get "good medicine" for 3500 or less. This "good medicine" is coming from a massive warehouse where the whole point is to get weight as fast as possible. I've seen some good...
I'm curious what price people are getting at dispensaries. I know last summer people were getting $4400 on a regular basis. Now I've heard it's hard to get $4000. Some shops Denver/Boulder are claiming they pay between $3200-3600. It doesn't seem the shops are lowering their retail prices. I...
So what did you guys find to be the total flower time? I have some Snowcap that have been going for 50 days and the trichomes are still clear or mostly clear. I got clones from someone who got them in Cali. The plant didn't grow much after the switch to 12/12. The flowers look great but the...
I recently added a second grow tent. There is a single timer (Hydrofarm mechanical) controlling both 12 hour cycles. The cycles alternate. So I am trying to provide each tent with exactly 12 hours, but I'm thinking the increments on the timer are maybe not so accurate and one tent may get...
Wow, I didn't realize it would be that intensive or expensive. The longer post by skunkaroo claims he spent like $50. Are you saying that the setup he describes won't work or that it isn't ideal. I'm not doubting you, I just don't have any experience with this sort of thing. I'll hold off on the...
Thanks for helping people out.
Right now I have two 600W HPS in a grow tent. My plan is to have a second tent with two 600W lights and use a single set of ballasts. I got some good advice here: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/241239-one-ballast-two-alternating-lights.html. But...
Great that makes sense. The cord to the light is cut and hardwired to terminals? What do N.O. N.C. stand for? Do +/- wire positioning matter, does the ground get a terminal? Is there a downside to using a ballast in this way? Thanks
Timers: Outlet-Timer-Ballast-Multiplug/Splitter-Timer one for each Light- Is this how you would do it?
Relay: Could you tell me more about these? I did a quick google search but didn't see how I would use them. Thanks
If you stay with a 400MH you don't need a large (200 cfm or less) fan or air-cooling. Carbon filters are rated for different cfm and having smaller components would save you money and keep the noise down. If you go big (1000W) you should run a small (200 cfm or less) for odor control and a...
