    Except BigBud is primarily Indica....not Sativa. Those plants are a little lanky (sorry...not getting on you....just trying to help) and were flowered MUCH too late.

    Soil is still the way to go!

    And the advantages to INSIDE Hydro are: Not lugging in bags and bags of dirt nor am I looking for a place to get rid of dirt that has salt build up after each grow. EVERYONE screws up once in a while and overferts. In hydro the flushing method is MUCH faster. Explosive growth ( Notice...I...

    Dramatic temp change and plant growth

    Most residential thermostats don't have an adjustable deadband and in fact 3 degrees is pretty much standard. Yes...you are correct. Starting a motor (or compressor) is not as efficient as running it. We're talking pennies though unless it's starting up every 2 minutes. And....naturally it...

    Dramatic temp change and plant growth

    This might help you but keep in mind that this speaks to internode control: Temperature control The easiest and most under-used way to control internodal stretch is temperature control. Plant internodal length is directly related to the difference between day and night temperatures – the...

    I'd get a bigger bunch of roots to be safe. I wouldn't even use rockwool or hydroton if you can find 3" neoprene inserts. I take my clones out of my aerocloner and suspend them in a 3" pot with a 3" neoprene insert. I have a small aerotub that sprays directly on to the netpots. When the roots...

    As long as your roots reach the bottom of the pvc I don't see an issue.

    Are you sure it's the timer? Have you plugged the light directly in to a 220v outlet?

    This isnt exact but 1 watt = 3.41 BTU's so 1200watts will be about 4000btu OR 1/3 of a ton of heat added to your home. You will DEFINITELY need to vent those fixtures. In my area I pay about 20cents per kilowatt hour. Running (2) 600's 12hrs per day costs me about $2.88 per day or $86.00 per...

    I like intermatic timers if you're not looking to control anything with an on/off duration shorter than 15 minutes. I use an Intermatic T101 for my lighting but that is a 120v timer. I think the T-104 is good for up to 277volts. Keep in mind that these timers are hard wired which means you need...

    Hey Loud......2 questions: How did the shooting powder affect your PH? 1 sachet in 45 gallons took me from 3.5 to nearly 7. Looks like I'll be using PH down for the remainder of the grow instead of PH up. Are you following H&G recommendation to shut off air pumps in your rez? Things are...
