Did you ever try out the ozone for mite control? I was thinking the same thing. I have a wimpy chinese ozone generator but it's just a closet grow. Normally run ozone for ten mins a day while watering but thinking about killing my vents for a day and gassing the little bastards in the sealed...

Too much sulfur or not enough? I have plants that have been through a bunch of issues (doing much better now) but have purple stems.

I have a low grade spider mite problem (was bad but so far frequent Bayer soap spray is keeping them in check) Anyone have any luck using an ozone generator to control mites or other bugs? I have a generator but keep my box ventilated. Thinking it might be worthwhile to kill my fan for a bit...

I have three plants all ready to flower I inherited from a friend. Plants had mild spider mite/powder mold problem. They were all planted together in one pot filled with gravel. They were growing in a bathroom with a low wattage CFL. Plants were solid green if extremely stretched. Last week I...

Awesome thanks!

Quick general CFL question: If I get a true 125 w CLF light (not equivalent) do I need a ballast or can I roll with one of those $12 Home Depot clip lights?

Building a DIY automatic watering system for three soil-filled pots. My question is if I put a flood table under the pots can I reuse that water in my reservoir? I often find when I water my soil plants there is excess water that comes out of the bottom. It generally isn't pretty (brown...

Great post! Very helpful info. I just bought a cheap 25$ 10"x10"x3" plastic generator from china that claims to be 600 mg/hr. Would you guess that claim is accurate? I didn't do my homework on the downside of ozone and am hoping it is more like 60/hr as I have a grow closet in a small...

Crap. Thanks!

This is either a stupid question or an awesome one. Can you use a regular old screw in light fixture w HPS? I'm trying to save some $ and saw a 150w rated clip-light fixture for 10$ and thought 'why not'. Though there is probably some stupid reason that has to do with not burning down your...
