You make a good point. I am in the mountains so this winter I'll have to make sure that I manage my low temps. Although, with 3 1000 watt hps lights and a low fan speed, we'll see what happens. I guess it is all about monitoring things closely. THanks.

I've got my temp thermostadt hanging about 8 inches from one of my hoods, you can see the black device in my avatar picture to the left. So the temps are being read there. I agree with you. If that thermostadt reads 78, the temps of my hoods and right next to my hoods are probaby 85. I may try...

I have a sealed room with 2 1000 watt HPS lights with 8 inch vented hoods. I have one exhaust line with one inline fan that pulls air from the outside of the room and pushes air outside the room, so the vent line is sealed. I currently have my in-line fan on a temperature controlled device so...

I may have to move, which would allow me to look for the perfect house for growing. In the county I might move to, I can have 12 plants. What size room do I need for a 12 bucket flower room that will grow big babies and what is the minimum clear height the cieling should be? Thanks!

5 days into flower and the girls are looking good. Just changed the reservoir to Flora Series - Bloom level. That should take care of them for awhile.

I did this today. I just cut a piece of furnace filter and stuck it into the air intake vent behind the vent cover. Tonight I can't see any light coming through and I doubt it will have much of an impact on air flow. Thanks!

Great idea. I will try it.

Flat black paint sounds like a good idea too. Will try that.

That would work. I did that on the other side as that is more of a storage area. I was also thinking of putting some netting, like women's black panty hose, in the exhaust run so that may stop some of the light from leaking out, yet be permeable to let the air flow.

I have an 8 inch vent that runs from one outside wall to the other, through two vented hoods and an in-line fan which moves the air. When I am outside, I can see a glow from the intake grill that comes from the lights in that run. This surprises me as the vent line takes a couple of turns, but...

My first grow. Just flipped it from veg to flower. 12 plants in rock wool on a flood/drain table under 2 1000 watt hps lights. They've been under the lights 2 days and are looking good. Day 1 I had them all under one light but I fired the second light up tonight and spread them out. I want to...

Hey. Thanks for the heads-up on the size to veg them to. Unfortunately, I flipped them into flower and I think they are a bit small. Altho, we are leaving on vacation for 2 weeks over Chrismas so I am trying to harvest before we leave. I think it was kinda dumb but we'll see how it turns out and...

Thanks all. I just changed my avatar and added a pic of my girls taken about 30 minutes ago. I'm going to flip them tomorrow. First grow, feeling pretty good about it.

I am getting ready to switch between a veg cycle (18 on 6 off - on from 6 PM to noon) to a flower 12/12 cycle. I've been told I should turn all my lights off for 36 hours in between. Do other people do this? And, if so, is it 36 hours from the time my lights go off on my last veg cycle? Thanks.

That's what I figured. I think the roots will probably just go through the rock wool into the soil. Thanks for the verification!

I have 3 moms that I started from clones in rock wool. They are currently in the 4 inch rock wool cubes and I've decided that I am going to move them into smart pots with soil. When I do this, do I need to try to remove the rock wool or can I just put the cube into the soil? I'm afraid I'll...

She's from Long Island NY. She'd kick my arse :)

Thanks. Are there any obvious disadvantages to moving into the flower room early? I could keep the HPS lights on veg cycle for a couple of days to speed up veg and get them ready for flower and I can also keep the lights at a safe distance. Since I've never done this, I am lost. But I am...

Hi All, I'm a newbie, but I need solid advice on this. I have my first grow going in my veg room under a T5. 15 clones that are about 4 weeks old and are about 5-6 inches tall. Growing well and looking good. Giving them Flora nutes. My problem is this, I'm looking at the calendar and my wife...

I converted a shed building into a grow facility. I ran water to it, so I have that. Now I'm to the point where I am working on my drain and wanted to know if it would be required or a good idea to add a utility sink. The reason I do not know is that I have never been through a harvest. My girls...
