    stealth grow cab almost done, just some lighting questions

    Soil or hydro? Do u have the money for an aircooled reflector? Do u have the money for a high CFM outtake fan? If so then u might be able to squeeze a 400 in there and do a screen. I have a 400 watter with cooltube and 6 inch duct fan along with a 265cfm active air blower and carbon filter in my...

    My Cabinet DWC/Ebb & Flow setup. Comments?

    Questions: Should I add drippers to the DWC? No your tank is shallow enough. Increase airflow to bubble stones? Yes the more the better. Nutes for vegging clones? Not for the first week. Bubbler on clone wick reservoir? Yes it doesnt hurt.

    Tying down or toping a plant?

    How about both? Top them, then when those arms grow out then tie them all down to open the inside. I'm doing this with my power kush right now and she is loving it. She is only a month old i topped her after the second true node. Lets just say she will be a 4 armed fattie... :). She is a little...

    design cab plan

    You will need to get a piece of plywood as the back is made from cheap hard cardboard. I got the same one and wasnt happy about that, and i still havent put it up cause i dont have a truck to get a piece of plywood. Of course i might be setting mine up differently than u so u might not need the...

    Need some help deciding on this all-in-one kit

    First off... in a space like that u will definately need something to cool the bulb. I didnt think they got that hot until i put it in a closet. Even with a little passive cooling i couldnt keep the temps below 95f. So get a sealed reflector with lots of ventilation. Second get some starter...

    70w hps with internal ignitor

    No you cannot just plug it in and it work properly, as far as i know. I just put a 70 watt hps light together for a friend of mine. It required a 70 watt hps ballast and ignitor and a medium based socket. So you will probably have to get the ballast for it.

    D.W.C 'Show-Off' THREAD. post your pretty and proud DWC piks here

    This is my Easyryder auto. She went 12 weeks from seed to harvest with complete Foxfarm line, 3.5 gallon bucket, and 400 watt hps. Her final weight was around 145-150 grams dried. I did a split harvest on her cutting the top half at 10 weeks then the second half at 12. I got 96 grams out of the...

    bubbleponics autoflowering grow

    If done properly under the correct lighting and with proper nutes autos average 50 to 60 grams easily. I had an Easyryder auto that produced around 145-150gs dried. I cropped her twice once at 10 weeks again at 12. The first half pulled me around 94 grams the second half is a guesstimate of...

    1st dwc grow going bad

    Yeah DWC is tricky. I usually start no nutes 2 wks, 1/4 strength veg nutes 2wks, 1/2 strength veg nutes for 2wks, then 1/2 strength flower nutes for 2wks, then full strength until 2 wks before harvest, 1/2 strength flower nutes with some extra sugars for the second to last week of flowering...

    research

    Not necessarily true. I have seen a monster plant grown inside of a coffee can using DWC. Of course the larger the container the larger the root system will get, but it mostly depends on genetics and your skill.

    new to growing D.W.C help is appreciated!

    I highly suggest getting a tds meter and ph pen. Mostly because i have tried a plant in an icecream tub to no prevail, mostly because i couldnt keep the ph stable at all. It would fluctuate so much i couldnt control the uptake of the seedling and she fell over and died. I dont know if u will...

    What light reflector are you using?

    I believe you will find cooltubes are probably the most popular, or atleast most well known, but there are so many to choose from. I personally use a cooltube with a 400 watt hydrofarm xtrasun ballast and 430 watt agrosun bulb. I have also used the hydrofarm daystar and wasn't very impressed (if...

    research

    If done properly you can get huge plants with any growing method. It is all in design of the setup. Take DWC for instance... You can do a 10 gallon toat with 4 plants in it, but u can only grow them so big because space will become an issue. On the other hand if u did individual buckets for your...

    Bud Box tent Vents let in light?

    With a tent i would suggest running lights during the day and not at night. Because yes the vents let in light and let out light and can potentially cause hermies. Me personally have learned that you do not need those vents as long as you have a good extraction fan and a good intake. So what i...

    Ebb n Flo, EuroGrower, BubblePonics, Water Farm... How do you decide

    Deep water culture. It is the easiest to use next to the hempy buckets. It consists of a blacked out tub, air stone, air pump, and net cups. The water level will be about an inch from the bottom of the net cups to allow the popping bubbles to aerate the rockwool and clay balls. For DWC i...

    best 400watt bulb?

    I believe you do get the actual 430 watts. Because an average 400 watt hps ballast will actually induce about 438 watts of power. It is just the bulb only draws 400 watts so the ballast is only producing 400 watts to the bulb, thus delivering the extra 38 watts to heat and your power bill. If a...

    Multi Spectrum Lights

    thats a good find. now get a reflector to match and u will be set for ventilation. If you want to seal the relfector off from the enviroment then you will need another fan for it, but that is up to you. With that you can run it like this: filter.... duct...reflector....duct....exhaust fan. That...

    Multi Spectrum Lights

    400 watters get pretty hot. I would definately make it air cooled if at all possible. If you cant make it aircooled then you need a pretty powerful exhaust with lots of intake. The carbon filter is for smell. If your not worried about smell then ditch the carbon filter and use a medium speed...
