    humidity 24% too low?

    I've heard that if the temp in the room is higher you want a lower humidity. I have my temp at about 95 and my humidity at 10% and they are flourishing.

    Lighting times for vegging

    I know that in the veg stage the light schedule should be 18/6, but could I do a 6/6/6/6 schedule, for those who look at that and are confused, thats 6 on 6 off 6 on again and 6 off. The reason I was curious about this is I am trying to save power and heat from my 1000w. I have read that you...

    First Indoor Dwc System

    updated pictures, added a fan muffler and sound proofed the fan as well, cant even hear the thing. If anyone wants instructions on how to make a muffler for about 20 bucks let me know. Also I am changing my DWC into an aeroponics system today, mostly to help keep water temp down, all my stuff...

    First Indoor Dwc System

    I ended up doing quite a bit of research on the matter and yes it is possible but not smart. The bulb will be running a higher voltage if it is a lower watt bulb for the ballast and could easily blow up probably causing fire or injury. I don't think its worth it just for some bud. I'm going...

    Too Hot

    My grow room is way too hot, its at a constant 100 with the light on. I am running a 1000w hps with a cool tube well just look at the picture, but behind the light is a 400cfm fan and the tube at the top is a muffler I made (which cost like $20 and is just as good as the phresh muffler, ask for...

    First Indoor Dwc System

    12 days old. They seem to be flourishing, I lowered the water level to an inch under the baskets, I hear root rot is notorious in DWC. The NL doesn't seem to be growing to fast, not quite sure why but I'm just going to let it do its thing, for the most part it looks healthy except for the...

    First Indoor Dwc System

    Just looked into this SCROG thing, looks very interesting. What do you think, should I give it a try? I think I would have enough space to do so, and I've been trying to think of a way to use the 1000w to its full potential. I couldn't imagine the screen setup being more than $20.

    First Indoor Dwc System

    I'm trying to keep everything clean and organized and not too overcrowded. I went with feminized white widow, big bud and northern lights.

    First Indoor Dwc System

    Yea my temps are a concern considering I live in a very hot climate and im running a 1000w bulb. I am freezing bottles though and putting them in the rez and it seems to be keeping it down to around mid 70's. I'm having a hard time keeping the air temp down too. I have the a/c cranked and a...

    Fan is Way Too Loud!

    the dynamat does work in combination with a muffler on the intake, reduced dramatically. I only have the fan wrapped in the dynamat and its down a quite a bit. I sleep in the same room as my tent!

    Mystery Bud Bubbleponics Grow

    you should keep those pumps up off the floor in case of a power outage you don't flood your tent from gravity taking over. Just a thought.

    First Indoor Dwc System

    Hey all, this is my first attempt to a indoor DWC system. I am aware that I have alot of space for 4 plants, well I only went with 20gal reservoir so any more and I would be trying to keep up I think. Plus with only 4 I have plenty of room to make them short and fat which is what I prefer. I...

    Grow Tent Club

    Here is updated pictures two white widows, one Big Bud, and one Northern lights, all 9 days old. The NL had a rough start, it had gotten stuck in the plug upon germination so I forced it out of the shell and into the light. I am using 1000w hps for veg which I am nervous of doing but was told...

    Grow Tent Club

    I know, I didn't want to have any more for the amount of water I have in the reservoir which is only 20 gal. this is my first indoor hydro grow, so it is really a trial and error design. It will also give me plenty of air space, as well as room for more lights, which during flowering I am...

    Botanicare

    I am using them on my first hydro grow, they were recommended to me by the local hydroponics store. I use to grow all organic outdoor and in soil and never had tastier buds. A couple things I've heard but can't find much research on is, botanicare's "Sweet" product contains more arsenic than...

    Lighting to Support Plants

    Spicey8305 is right my first grow I used 5 T5 flouros and only yeilded an oz a plant. and I'm sure less the more you'll have i did 5. Best to get some mh/hps before attempting a decent harvest with good seeds. I would recommend no more than 10 if you are going to do it anyway.

    Max Yield Gallon to Plant Ratio

    Thanks for the good advice. I've decided to stick with the 27 gallon heavy duty tote, I've looked all around and its the same one lots of people are having success with, 2 40gal air pumps and 4 round air stones, one for each plant. I'll try with this because I don't want to over do it if I...

    Max Yield Gallon to Plant Ratio

    like I said I'm sure it was covered somewhere. I prefer personalized responses to my specific situation, thanks. I have a heavy duty tote, its not rubbermaid but one of those thick black walled bins that hold up to like 800 lbs or something close to that. Temp won't be an issue in my setup, I...
