I first tried the Speedster and it hummed big time. I ditched it for this: http://aeroponicsnmore.com/climate-control-ventilation-c-23_5/temp-2v-fan-speed-control-variable-idle-setpoint-p-181 It's almost identical to the 1V you listed, but different because it gives you the option of on or...

Fortunately for me, my grow is as legal as an 18 year old cheerleader (barely, but close enough if we go to court). Not everyone will approve, but who cares! I love California :)

In my open-loop system: I need constant fresh air in the tent. If I ran 700cfm through my filter constantly, it wouldn't last very long and my power bill would be a little higher. AND my tent temps would be highly dependant on outdoor temps. In my future closed-loop system: I will put an...

Sorry to hear about the seeds. Don't feel bad, I got em too. (I think someone in my condo complex is growing dude mj plants lol.) It amazing how fast shit can go downhill in the last couple weeks. Sorry, but it's comforting to know I'm not alone in the hermie boat ;) And since you have...

Yes, it's a problem. Exhausting to ANY room in your house is bad if that air has the ability to crawl right back into your grow. If you exhaust to the great outdoors then you are creating negative pressure and fresh air MUST seep in where ever it can. That fresh air will be Co2 rich (400-500...

For my primary exhaust, I don't want the fan to turn all the way off. I want at least some circulation to allow constant fresh air to run through the garden. But I don't want 700cfm contantly either! It's nice to have that top-end available for warmer days. I don't know if it will control...

Here is the controller I use on my CanFan and my Elicient inline. Works absolutely wonderful with no hum (the speedster hummed bad). http://aeroponicsnmore.com/climate-control-ventilation-c-23_5/temp-2v-fan-speed-control-variable-idle-setpoint-p-181 It's great because I bought a huge fan, and...

Where are you getting Co2 from? You are not exhausting to outdoors, so your exhaust will simply run down the hall and right back into your tent. You will need to suppliment Co2 with that configuration. Here is a VERY good thermostat controller for your fan...

1000w is a lot of light. I've seen (yesterday) 30 plants under a single 1000w (approx 5'x5' footprint). It all depends on the size your plants are going to get ... how much you veg them, how aggressive the nutrient system is and what strain they are. There are several factors involved, so...

It sounds like the last 2 or 3 lights in each string are going to be putting off a LOT of heat. I would recommend this hood: http://www.horticulturesource.com/sunlight-supply-block-buster-8-inch-air-cooled-reflector-p7669/?osCsid=d550a627026fa864c5ecf0904839f229 But probably not from that...

Not that I know of. So far I've only found seed in the A-Train (3 plants) and the LA Woman (1 plant). (the 4 plants on the left side of my tent) I haven't found any in Lemon Skunk (1 plant). Knock on wood. I haven't chopped any Blue Hash (2 plants) or Blue Fruity (1 plant). So those are...

Seperately, you can buy that hood for $80. The ballast for $180, and the bulb for $50 (not the hortilux). That's $310 before tax and shipping. Know what you are buying! A $1000 car will not win any races, but it will get you to the liquor store. In other words, don't expect top-of-line...

You get what you pay for. Magnetic ballasts are loud and inefficient. The hood ... cheap, difficult to access, and poor light pattern. The bulb should be upgraded to the Hortilux. Then, don't forget the $100 shipping and $25 tax... extra. So that's $500 for an obsolete ballast and a cheap...

I've dried a couple side branches over the last week. SEEDS! :shock: Every bud, so far, has a seed or two!!! WTF? Is someone in my neighborhood growing dude plants? How can this be happening? I have not seen a single ball sack in my garden. HOW THE F? :cuss::cuss:

That's my setup budget, not including any reusable items (rocks, rw and seeds) or electricity ($700+ month) 1000w Digital Ballast $350 1000w MH Bulb $90 1000w HPS Bulb $90 Enclosed Hood $190 240v Timer $60 Total $780 ea (and you still have to have a place to plug it in) Then you will need...

Monday night I cleaned the res and refilled. This time, I pulled all of the stones and instruments and rinsed them too. I need to do that at least once a month. Tuesday morning I dosed the barrel with FloraKleen and H2o2. I will run that for 4 full days (thru friday). Friday night after the...

Most people are here to learn how to grow. They ARE growing but haven't gotten a harvest yet. Or they've harvested but didn't grow enough to keep the bag full for 2 months! When your friends find out you've got weed, it's amazing how fast a couple plants can be rolled up and smoked! Unless...

It is BETTER to have a closed loop system with supplimental Co2 injection. That is ideal, but it drastically increases costs and complexity. It also increases yield. If you have the resources to controll the Co2 levels, temperature and humidity ... thats the way to go. BTW, 5k isn't gonna...

I would raise the pots an inch or so to allow more water to drain from the buckets. This will also prevent excessive "damming" from lines that are crossing over each other. Use upside down plates (i used plastic planter pot holders from depot).

Definately agree! It really sounds like you are going to bite off WAY more than you can chew, but you've got time. This is a great community to learn from, so you're off to a good start. Just don't start buying crap until you've got the whole thing REALLY planned out.
