    3.5 or 5 Gallon DWC?

    Hey guys, I'm trying to grow 6 plants in individual bucket DWC systems, but I don't have much vertical space. Could I use shorter, 3.5 gallon DWC buckets and still grow 3-3.5 foot single-cola plants? Also, I want to get those net-pots that are meant for DWC buckets, should I go with 6", 8" or...

    Air Cooling and Filtering In-One?

    Hey guys, I'm having trouble fitting things together into my new grow cab, well, on paper at least. My question is this: If I use a powerful 6" Centrifugal fan and a SuperSun 2 reflector (pretty damn air tight, neoprene seals etc), could i make the light's aircooling and the cabs air...

    Superthrive? Good for all stages.

    My first two grows I used superthrive into flowering and it DOES make fluffy buds! I stopped and it made a big difference, although I will ALWAYS use it in veg stage.

    250W Ballast/Light Combo Fixtures?

    Hey guys, I want to buy a 250w light for a CMH bulb, but I was wondering if anyone has used a fixture with the 250w ballast Built-In? Are they reliable? I was thinking the SunSystem2, but I want to make sure I'm not wasting my money.

    Best Traditional Ballast?

    yeh weight was a concern for me, but if I go CMH thats what I have to have. I was trying my best to make it completely enclosed, but it's not a priority.

    Whats the Right Light For Me?

    every leaf that touched that plastic died and took the plants with it... plus it had a LOT of light leaks. Secret Jardin won't show up on a thermal scan either, so thats a plus for them... they just make metric sizes so it's not right for my space. I did like the one I had though, and great...

    Whats the Right Light For Me?

    yeh I was thinking about it and 400 does seem like overkill. Maybe 250 CMH?

    Whats the Right Light For Me?

    those fucking things killed 3 of my grows and most distributors are switching to Secred Jardin brand... and that doesn't come in the dimensions I need. I want the shed, its the lighting I'm unsure about.

    Best Traditional Ballast?

    Hey guys, I'm going to switch to a 200w CMH setup soon but that requires an old-school magnetic core ballast with a good strike on it. I only ever used digital (I bought the hype), so I have no idea what brands are best. But I'm also looking for one that I can wall mount, if possible, to the...

    Whats the Right Light For Me?

    I'm thinking of converting a Rubbermaid outdoor storage shed into an indoor grow cabinet. It's light weight, easily to drill/saw, easy to make light-tight and can be disassembled quickly. Hell I can enamel it white, anyway to my question... Here is the thing, the interior is only 2'1" x 3'11" x...

    Which will reflect more light? (pics)

    the reflectix is the best choice. I have used white paint, mylar and that... and it makes all the difference. The pebbled surface disburses light preventing hot spots. Although it will reflect almost all the heat that comes at it. Great for stealth but only if you have the right ventilation.

    6" Centrifugal Fan

    if it is still too loud you can try hanging it from rubber o-rings as a vibration dampener. But thats if vibration gives you trouble down the line.

    Plastic Rivets?

    Thanks Arrid, that was the site I had trouble finding again... my browser, router, internet and ISP are so locked down for security that sometimes google doesn't't even work right. THANKS AGAIN!

    Plastic Rivets?

    Hey guys, my next grow room will be a rubbermaid outdoor shed and I am looking for ways to attach everything from velcro to neoprene sheeting to the walls. I was thinking plastic rivets, perminent, cheap and strong. ANYWAY, I found a great site for it a month ago but my bookmarks were erased...

    THIS IS YOUR THREAD!!! -- What's YOUR favorite special ingredient

    Two Words, Pomegranate Molasses! It is a great sweetener (I use it the whole cycle, helps beneficial fungi and bacteria) and has citric acid which boosts the crebs cycle. Adding too much can drop the PH though, so moderation is key!

    Nightime Airflow and air cooling questions...

    Hey guys, I'm about to build my new grow cabinet (my dream cabinet! WOOOT) and I'm trying to do everything I can to save electrical costs... Since it will be air cooled with a CAN 4" HO Centrifugal fan AND a Vortex 4" centrifugal for air flow (and filtering), I'm trying to cut costs anyway I can...

    Air Cooling a 600w HPS

    Thanks man! But I have decided that with new 400w HPS ballast, all the air cooling and vibration dampening I would have to do to keep it quiet, I could go with a Procyon LED and use my T5 HO supplemental lamps to give a truely complete spectrum. LED is incomplete at the moment, the TI SmartLamp...

    Cheapest way to cool?

    My first grow was in a closet with the door open and a fan on... an that was 400w hps! Yes it would work to cool but the smell is dangerous, I was very lucky I didn't get caught.

    Air Cooling a 600w HPS

    Hey guys, I bought a 600w Lumatek digital ballast and bulb for my larger setup that I used on my last grow... but I'm scaling down to a hydrohut 2x4 (or darkroom DL150 Wide). My last space was just a bit too big for me. On the last grow a little inline booster-fan was enough, but I know with a...
