    CFL.... should i keep the metal shade on or remove it?

    leave the reflector on, any light that reflects to the 'rear' of the light (opposite side of your plants) will be lost. Sure it will bounce off the rear wall and reflect into the room, but the distance is greatly increased, and intensity is decreased.

    Reading and Adjusting PH - How long does it take?

    Reading and Adjusting PH - How long does it take?

    I have a couple questions about PH, first; How long does it take for your PH reader to return the final PH? Mine seems to take quite a while (1 - 2 mins before it stops fluctuating). It starts off at 7.0 and slowly starts dropping in numbers. The further from 7.0 you are, the longer the...

    Any way to improve a basic DWC in Rubbermaid?

    my only advice on improving dwc; buy two containers instead of one. When you're ready to change your res, add the water and nutes to the 2nd container, then swap it out with the 1st when you're ready. I find this quicker and easier to do my res changes.

    Does running your lights at night save on your electric bill?

    actually, you will be saving money when running at night..... soon. most of my area is being upgraded to new 'smart meters', that replace the existing electricity meters outside our homes. The new smart meters not only measure what your consumption is, but when you consume it. They will be...

    When to begin feeding nutrients?

    ya, wait a week and a half or so. If you nute them now, they may go yellow and die off

    2 plants in one POT

    you might need to kill off one now, if not, you may have to later. what happens when one is a female, and one's a male? you'll never be able to separate them (as you are finding), so flip a coin and pull one out.

    Nute advice

    Expensive eh? The Grow is only $9, the bloom is just shy of $18. I'm sure there are cheaper ones, but I don't think that's too bad

    Nute advice

    I'll be starting my 2nd grow soon, and was not happy with my first grow's nutes (they were free with the kit), so I'm looking for some advice. I've ready many, many posts, and everyone recommends a brand, but not a specfic product itself, so I'm looking for advice. I'm looking to get the...
