Well I was planning for a couple white widows. Variable speed might be an investment, ill definitely take a look into that. Thanks guy

Thanks guys for the quick response! Yeah I have a fairly good carbon filter at hand too, but as I said I was against using it as the fan I have is rather noisy. Is it really necessary then for me to take these precautions as the smell from 2 plants will not go unnoticed?

I'm planning on growing in my grow tent 120, fairly spacious and recommended to hold 4 full sized plants. However I am planning on just growing the 2 this time round. I would just like to ask how likely there is to be a noticeable smell? I have a fan system also but would rather give this a...

Ec Meters, although probably seen as a worthwhile investment, cost a fair bit of money. I would like to ask if they are essential, as i would like to cut the cost of my grow startup. EC meter measure the electric conductivity right, so is used to achieve a desirable concentration of nutrient...

Im deffinately no expert, seeing as i havent actually started my grow (still planning) but have you got a relay contactor? http://www.hydrohobby.co.uk/product/13amp_relay_contactor/

I would think it was heat stress, ive tried looking at the leaves below and they seem fine, whats the distance of your light from your plant now? if all the plants were suffering from the same thing, and 2 of them returned to health, provided the conditions are constant throughout each plant...

this was such an interesting grow, what happend? :S

Forget finding some good weed, grow your own :D

No problem guys :mrgreen: Obviously there are a load of factors to consider, like how much your provider charges per KWh etc but this provides a rough estimate. Infact, ive read alot of people say that this calculator usualy provides a higher estimate :-? BUT, atleast you can take this as a...

Ok thanks for the comments guys. From your advice, i wont get a second fan to blow air in. I was unsure about the smell, i wouldnt have thought odour wouldnt have been a problem with mothers, seeing as they arent budding, and i assumed most of the odour will be produced by this. Ive been...

How do these actually work? Ive seen a diagram for a 2 way contactor, and one plug is connected to the mains and another plug connected through a timer then into the mains. Does this mean the contactor will turn on according to the timer? Will i need a contactor for a 250 Watt CFLm as ive only...

Basically, i want to use 2 grow tents, 60x60x140 each, 1 to keep my mothers and clones under a 250 watt CFL, and the other tent for flowering under a 250 watt Cooltube HPS. I need a decent extraction system running through both tents. Would you suggest i get a filter for my mother tent? If...

Hey guys, I dont know if anything like this is on RIU, but i know its a question alot of growers ask: How much will my electricty cost to run my grow? This is a calculator, where by filling the variables, calculates the cost to run an appliance. Note:Prices are given in pounds, but by...

Interesting replies, can always count on RIU. Thes reason im asking this question is because the grow unit will be 2 seperate grow tents, back to back so the openings are on either side of the unit. Im then going to construct a housing unit with either end (where the openings will be) being...

I have been reading up on lighting again. HPS lights/MH are better than CFL's etc and all that. But i have a question. In the case of a SOG operation, say if i was vegging my mother plants from seeds, getting them to the suitable height. Does it matter at this stage what kind of lights i...
