An analogy here would be burning ants with a magnifying glass, a larger magnifier glass would mean quicker toasted ants not less. Buy your reflector because of how well its built and how well it does its job and that link about reflectors is a great resource. You could run either a 600 or a...

how are things? any new pics?

Well this is indeed doable but why when you can buy one that plugs into the wall and you plug your fan into it and set your temp and thats it. There are ones that come with photo sensors also and there are not only enviromental controls for heat but cooling and humidity as well allowing you to...

The PH in city tap water is not nessesarly consistant, that PH level isnt allways the same comeing out of that tap. Knowing your PH is important, in my hydro system I have a constant monitoring digital meters for PH,EC and temp. It would a good idea to check that PH. Filling a big...

If you have the right Amprage breaker/relay and the proper 220 line it will handle the current your gear is useing then your fine. So you would need a 220 breaker at 30a or whatever amperage your gear is useing. You will want to leave the existing 120v line in there to run your timer and...

Yeah and you defently wouldnt make an over watering mistake. I am not sure your buddy is correct either though but if he is and you dont flush it will start to get worse and worse every time you apply neuts and I dont think thats whats going on. I just think its a bit of heat stress, its...

Here is where I would like to have an electrician look at that circuit to explain how to change it for 120v lights instead of 220v ones. This webpage http://www.hydroponics.net/learn/grow-light-controller.asp shows a 220v 3 prong cord comeing out of the relay box. YOU CANT DO IT THAT WAY for...

Excellent.... I will be trying a few of those recipies for sure!

Exactly.... As far as these past experiments go if it didnt work with hops then I highly doubt it would work with a tree.. However I havent seen or heard of such expermints although I would expect that what I have quoted above is correct. Although if you were to want to experiment your self...

I am certian that anyone with atleast some electrical knowledge should be able to follow the instructions on the following web page to build there own relay. http://www.hydroponics.net/learn/grow-light-controller.asp That relay though is set up for 220 lights so you would have to split that up...

This is indeed good info for the novice. However this guy knew that his 15amp circuit was not going to be enough and was looking for a solution. Further more he was looking for a solution that didn't require running new wire. If your going to run multiple HID lamps allong with all the...

It sorta looks like a little bit of heat stress, maybe your getting a bit too warm for that one strain. It really doesnt look like a neut burn or deficiency. Here is a good pot plant abuse webpage that may help you or some of the new growers reading this thread...

If your going to run multiple lamps then your going to either have to have them set up of differant breakers/seperate timers Or the other option is to run a 220 wire over there and use a high amp relay. You can buy an expensive light controller that you plumb that 220 line into or you could...

Playing arround with the uvb bulbs or finding and adding a small 150w or so MH that can be had for cheap from ebay or even better on craigslist is well worth the money. Figure $30 on the uvb bulbs and should be able to score a used/cheap small little MH for another $40 or possibly cheaper...

Those shop lights I highly doubt have any uvb at all. The bulbs for the reptiles are special made to pump out the uvb and I expect that the shop lamps are designed not to. There was even a warning sticker on the CFL UVB bulbs in the pet store. A multi spectrum grow is whats worked best for me...

What didnt I answer fast enough GKN? HAHAH Man all this good info your pumping from me your going to have to blaze me up like mad if our paths ever cross in real life ROFL!!!! Anyways yeah spend the 17min watching that video and I will do my best to answer any futher questions ya may have...

The reptile lights from the pet store are the cheapest nicest way to go because they are flourscents. You could get UVB out of sun-tan type bulbs or those halagen spot lights, the problem with them will be heat though. The trich's on a plant are a defence system, you can basicly consider them as...

The 48 hours of darkness thing there is alot of speculation here as to its benifits. I am uncertian that it benifits the amount trich's. (I dont think it adds trichs and it may cause them to turn color but 2 more days under the light would also change them a bit more as well) I think it does...

Have you seen any signs of hermies?

Allright man.. So here is another option for you if your going to squeeze in another grow. Allright, so when harvest time gets arround here is what you do. Select a couple few of the best plants/strains and you will harvest a good percentage of bud off of them but leave plenty of plant...
