BUMP - anyone else care to comment?

Hey guys. I've been beefing up my SOG aero-grow and just added a second flower room w 4 more 1000k watt HPS bulbs for a total of seven. I now have two 100 Gallon reservoirs so my nutrient program is getting rather expensive. Because of this I'm trying to decide what really makes a difference...

Yea that was $560 per month. But that includes running the 3x 1000W lights, a dehumidifier, various fans, pumps etc. I don't think the house is insulated well either. That's part of my problem. But I don't own it so there's a limit on what I'm willing to put into the house... My other house...

I'm not sure you understood my current HVAC setup. The system has THREE RETURNS. Two of them are in a hallway in a part of the house that I don't want to cool. BUT the third return is IN THE GROWROOM. I've already closed and sealed the output vents in all rooms of the house except the...

Hey man I saw some of your posts about AC and need some advice. Can you please help a fellow grower and provide some input?: http://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/356111-central-hvac-vs-mini-split.html

EVERYONE - I need some advice on AIR CONDITIONING. The house I use has an older central HVAC system. I've shut off and sealed all the vents going to other rooms (house not used for other purposes) so the AC only blows in the large grow room (14' x 25'). I'm in the SouthEast US where...

Hey Fluffy ever get this figured out? What did you end up doing? How does it work for you? EVERYONE - I'm in a similar situation but the house I use has an older central HVAC system. I've shut off and sealed all the vents going to other rooms (house not used for other purposes) so the AC...

First let me say THANKS TO Greenphoenix for starting this informative thread. And thanks to all of the experienced people posting. EXPERIENCED GROWERS ONLY PLEASE!!! Now my questions: So how much light is too much and what is an extended period of time? I'm a newb. Just harvested 40...

I'm in the middle of my first hydro SOG. Aeroflo 60, 2k hps, Cotton Candy. The first go round I only ended up with 42 clones available so that's what I planted. I vegged them under t8 cfls for 3 weeks so they were about 8-15 inches tall before putting them in 12/12 under the HIDs in the...

Hey yo miss69. I was reading the same DIY thread last night and tempted to try it. But I have a 6'w x 4'd space to fill so I was thinking of putting three bins side by side under two 600 HPS lights. Did this guy ever get ANYWHERE CLOSE to the yield he was talking in the beginning? I read a...

Who can tell me how loud an Ebb & Flow system is compared to an Aeroponics? I'm a newbie and was gonna just go with an E&F setup because of the forgiving aspects and low maintenance but now I'm rethinking it. I am looking at doing an Aeroponics system like the ones in the “See More Buds 1”...

Hey guys. I'm setting up for my first grow and was originally planning to do a basic Ebb & Flow system because it was more forgiving and low maintenance. Now I'm starting to second guess that decision when doing more reading. It just sounds like some of the other systems may be higher...
