Thanks for the information about Bushmaster. I might try that myself.

I am growing in the same size tent using DWC and a 600watt lamp. I let my plants get too big in veg before I started to flower. Don't do what I did! For me, 4 plants took up all the room after I topped them during veg stage. Don't top them! This is first DWC grow and I am making mistakes. Still...

My grow is in a tent and I had a problem with temps being too high also. I had great results with an air cooled unit called the Cool Tube. Ducting and a fan draw air across the lamp which is enclosed in heat proof glass. I was able to lower my tent temp by 10 degrees. For me the only trouble is...

Hi..Doing a hydro DWC grow on Jock and Sterling Haze, both Fem seeds from Nirvana. Don't make the mistake I made and "top" them. It's a jungle of fan leaves and hard for the light to get through. So far so good on both Jock and Sterling. But since they are Sativa stains they take a long time...

Last year I had a crop go bad on me when one of my females went hermi. Thousands of seeds on three plants. So after the trichs turned amber I cut, dried, and cured everything. It was loaded with trich's too. But guess what? It gives a nice mild buzz that I am enjoying while I wait for this...

GREAT NEWS...Replacing the ceramic socket with one that didn't use slip on connectors resulted in instant start up this morning. After nearly a week of HPS ignition failures start up via timer first thing this morning is showing the ground or poor current carrying capacity of the cool tube...

I agree a lamp that has been tested by ballast makers should be used. But here is an update on my hps lamp problem. After running my MH for a few hours I put the HPS back in to see what would happen. Guess what? The lamp lite after the usual 30 second delayed start up. So I called HTG.com and...

:? Into week 2 of bloom phase on an indoor grow I just had my second HPS lamp burn out on me. First one was a Grow Bright from HTG.com. This would be the second grow with this lamp. At first lamp not coming on a few mornings in a row. Cycling on/off a few times got it to start. After 4 days it...

Just read your sad story...We are leaving on vacation with one week into flowering on a DWC grow. First time for me doing hydro. To prevent DOA after vacation I have installed a battery back system for my sump pump that converts 12volt DC voltage to 110VAC for the sump pump to run should there...

First time DWC grower. I have a 27 gal rez filled to about 20 gallons in my DWC w/aero spray heads and recirc pump. Just started 12/12 and seeing signs of flower. Next week we are gone for 4 days on vacation so I built an float controlled auto water rig with a 5 gallon Home Depot bucket...

Hi.. Just read your JH grow. Doing my first DWC myself, into day 16 at this point. Did you give up your grow of JH? I have had a few problems with ph and ppm myself. So I am wondering how it turned out? Once I calibraited my meter my ph problems went away. Using GH 3 part. Any new information...
