No. Incandescent lights will not work. You are better off with HID lights.

For cloning domes use ONLY DISTILLED water. Regular tap water will have shit which causes problems and rot and weird ass science projects. And we drink this stuff ? Not me.

You can actually grow on a 12-12 cycle from the start. The disadvantage is the VEG state is critical for root mass development and now it is compromised. The healthier the root mass, the more bud so the heartier the VEG period, the better.

There are a ton of cheap knock off chinese digital ballasts which have hit the market. Some have caused explosions and fires. When they first hit the market within the last year or so the warranties were horrendous. You were lucky to get 30 days or maybe 60 days of warranty whereas magnetic...

Veg anywhere from 45-60 days. This is your call. I have vegged plants for 90++ days and then went to 12-12 and HPS for another 45 to 60 days.

The pictures earlier have the scrubber half way built. The thing is a ring within a ring and I used chicken wire (the thick shit) and wrapped it in window screening and a thin sheet of activated carbon to extend the life of the carbon in the scrubber. This SOB works like it won the Olympics. It...

The information was wrong and certainly misleading she posted for the most part. Energy ratings on digital ballasts were measured for start up draws which make the digital ballasts eye popping to the uninformed. The eye popping part is really we are talking a matter of less than 60 seconds...

Dude - who cares???....not me certainly. It is your loss so no big deal to me.:wall:

I built one of these for under $100.00 from parts at Home Depot / Lowes. eBay: 4" X 12" ACTIVATED CARBON AIR FILTER/SCRUBBER (item 180090500486 end time Mar-05-07 21:41:07 PST) I added a 440 in-line Eco Plus fan ($140.00) to draw air and scrub the room. This sucker works the best out of...

Ok so you want a ghetto CO2 set-up? Here it is: You need to locate a store that sells supplies to old fucked up people. You know, the ones which sells wheel chairs and medical supplies. This is what you are after first for your first ghetto CO2 set up....an I.V. bag. An intravenous bag...

You are welcome. I am a firm believer in the K.I.S.S. PRINCIPLE. K.I.S.S. = KEEP IT SIMPLE SHITHEAD MH FOR VEG HPS FOR FLOWERING

HID is the way to go. I am seeing more and more CFL and ghetto set-ups which look like fires waiting to happen not to mention the marginally shitty weed it produces. The first thing I hear is "heat" with HID and I ask "are you using fans or any type of ventilation ?" That takes care of heat...

Actually, it varies by county in California. 99 is the limit. In San Diego City limits is 24 plants in a locked green house. The state wide rule is 6 mature and 12 immature plants allowed or as recommended by your doctor.

I would add the larger wattage systems adds more heat so think about aircooled and ducted and sealed hoods. I have an in-line Eco-plus fan which pumps 440 cfm's of air through dual 1,000 watt hoods (glass and sealed). It allows me to get my plants as close as 10 inches without burning them. It...

Two way ballasts are called switchable ballasts because they have a switch for MH or HPS depending on what bulb you are using. There is no need to get the more expensive conversion bulbs anymore. MH is best for VEG HPS for Flowering Optimally, you have light movers and 2/3 of your wattage...

Get a switchable ballast. Forget expensive conversion bulbs. Switchables let you flip a switch and change bulbs. That is it. Available in 220 volt or 110 volt.

No problem. Not many use Primer and it is always a good idea. I myself have been guilty and said fuck it and just glued shit together without Primer. It works but is not the accepted method.

That is generally the case of "other leads" and prosecutions. If people pay their bill and keep their mouth shut, then no problems.

The bottom line on CO2 is if it is done properly, you will shit yourself at the difference. Human breath contains a shitload of CO2 so sleep with your biitches if possible. I am serious. To do it right you need a CO2 controller/monitor and a CO2 solenoid regulator (I recommend the CAP...

Chemistry was another class I taught. A simple example of CO2 in action is to buy dry ice which is basically frozen CO2. The fog which rolls off the dry ice is CO2. When I got my first indoor grow lights, since before jesus was born, we use to place huge chunks if dry ice over the hoods and...
