    A/C vs. IceBox & Water Chiller

    Dude, if you are going to talk shit on me, at least read the post. "Just look at it this way, if it was more economical we would be using it as our primary air conditioning in the residential market. If you have a ground water source close by (big ass tank underground, or a lake) then we can...

    First time growing in 10 years, tell me what you think of my setup

    Cheers bro! In Cali you will need ac if you want to grow year round. I'm a HVAC guy, and I have tried, fuck I made it my mission to keep my temps low enough to not need ac. To no avail. Your garage will slowly heat up as the heat load from the grow tent gets moved to the garage via the...

    A/C vs. IceBox & Water Chiller

    Guys, the scale is completely wrong for using water coils. We need larger applications i.e. hospitals, office buildings etc. to make chillers practical. (not talking aquarium chillers for nutrient tanks here). We can serve dozens of water coils with one chiller, where as we only feed a single...

    How many CFM to cool 400w HPS? Help

    Without static pressure readings all your cfm numbers are meaningless, I call major bullshit on this thread!!!!

    How many CFM to cool 400w HPS? Help

    Sorry guys, but that is a rather 'loose' way to approach this. There are a view more (ha, understatement) things to consider here : - heat load of the air used to cool light - fan performance table at a given static pressure, meaning how much resistance is the fan exposed to i.e. duct...

    Spider Mite Control

    That will work as a prevention & control method. 60%+ humidity is nothing to be toyed with, unless you know what you are doing. I run my humidity in the 55% to 65% during flower, but I do have a controlled environment and do not have to worry about going outside of my set points (humidity)...

    Yeah, tuck them under until the buds have formed, and the stretch is close to done (about 2-3 weeks into flower depending on strain light etc.) When you think, oh man it's getting hard to put them under, put them under once more at least lol. You do NOT want leggy buds that are 1-2 inches apart...

    1.5meter = 5x5 feet, that might be a bit much for a 600. I run a 600 as well, my screen measures 4x4 feet and on the outside of my 4x4 I get about 20k lumen. Within the 3x3 I get 50k+ lumen. Keep in mind that under the light they are about 16" away, and on the perimeter they are about 29"...

    Starting week 6 on Monday! Got 4 different strains in there lol, 3 of them just kind a bud in so to speak. The 4 in the middle are Blackwater, the black pot on the outside is a hindu kush, then we have a Romulan and a bubba in the blue pots. The Blackwaters are starting to turn dark, I'm...

    Cheers! I think as long as it has something to do with scrogging you can bud in all you want. Even though in my book, as long as you put the bud in, you are always welcome :) Looks great, and you have plenty of room on your screen. Kind

    Awsome, blessed are the basements ha. My climate zone is a bitch, AC, dehumid, chiller etc. all needed if I want to grow year around :(

    Hi TCD, I send you a PM. Raising the screen a view inches without initially raising the light will buy you a view days worth of growth (space wise). If you do raise the light at the same time the plants will accelerate their stretch something like that: "Hey now, where did the light go...

    Man, loving the pots there, going to look into these!

    Cheers! OK, If you start thinning a lot, you will loose a lot of yield and slow down the plants in the most important stage of development. If you let them get leggy, bud development beneath the tops will suck and you will think that scrogging sucks ha. If the pic was taken at one week 12/12...
