    Changing to vertical lighting half way through?

    It wont stop them from stretching but it will cause it to grow in and from different directions. Which will give you the affect you are looking for. So yes go for it.

    Couple questions about LST.

    1 - sex them before you put a screen on them. 2 - Yes 3 - Expect smaller popcorn buds. You will have some larger cola's but they will crowd each other.

    Air Pump Operating Temperature, How hot does your pump get?

    They get hot. Try to use a longer hose before the manifold if that is possible. Id say I get a few degree increase in my water temps because of the huge ass air pump I use. Edit : Ya I use the one that is the size up from that one. "I think" It take about 6 foot of hose before the air temp...

    Take the electric tape of within a week. Put bread ties or something smaller, the tape will make the stem soft. Do nothing at the moment, if the leaves all start to drop then..... well.....

    What is my PH?!?! Different results. Ebb and flow

    You probably just have some form of ground in the water. This is going to throw off the ph meter when you check it in the system. Maybe a water pump or something in the water?

    Ppm control

    You know the motto back in the industrial age was "dilute is the solution" They figured it was ago to dump arsenic benzine and other nasties right into water because it was going to be diluted by all the river water..... hahahahahha To the OP's question : you might them low by using a TDS/EC...

    Quick Fan speed question, wondering if this scenario is possible

    Ya it will work good enough. When you mis match the cfm's you will get less of a odor eliminating effect. Air has to be in contact with activated carbon for a certain amount of time to work right,

    a little advice

    Do not start in a large container. It will cause the roots to spread out to fast and not utilize the entire container. Repot at least once, a few times is really good.

    Ph went up after phing it down in plain tap water.

    Its called nutrient precipitation. Whats the TDS of your tap water? If you are on well water or just dirty city water then the ph down is precipitating with something already in the water. OR your bucket is dirty :)

    A/C tech question: new "INVERTER" a/c units [split/window]

    astroastro = No shit? I guess the advertisers just throw terms of for the shit of it haha. In new washing machine they use dc motors to spin the drum. I know 3-phase is the holy grail of motors but I thought the coversion from 2-phase power to 3-phase just cost to much. 1hp 3phase inverter for a...

    T5 or CFL Or straight to MH

    T5's put off the rated lumens down the entire length. Ive used the 4-bulb and the 8-bulb fixtures with mixed bulbs "grow and bloom". I think the biggest problem with t5 is the initial cost, but IMO bet any kind of cfl setup. Well its been a few years since ive really looked at CFL's

    Noisy new balast is that normal?

    The is a common occurrence in "commercial" ballast. CropMaster is a enormous greenhouse manufacture and in a greenhouse do you care if the ballast 10" over you makes some noise? Nope. It usually comes down to how the step-up transformer is mounted. There is nothing to worry about here Edit ...

    T5 or CFL Or straight to MH

    Ive always like the T5 lighting over the cfl's. 600mh is a bit much even for the 2week old plants also, but it really depends on their growth rate. You can go under the 600watt mh if you can distance the light from the plants. Id say like 5 foot away. Ehh maybe 4foot.... hahah

    Moving away from the 1000w, What do you think?

    Id go with a 400watt in a cooltube. 400watt mh should fit in the cool tube and then a cheaper inline fan "still need like 200+cfm fan" CoolTubes offer the most efficient cooling IMO. Just make sure you use a actual inline fan and not some rigged up stuff. The 400mh bulb will still restrict a...
