Normal cooltubes will have a built in reflector which isn't very good as far as reflectors go. This can usually be taken out. I have 2 runs with 2 600s in each. 8" cooltubes 8" ducting and 8" fan. This is overkill for 2 600s but when I bought the cooltubes the plan allways was to upgrade to...

Personally I would start off with that 600 as far away as possible until they get to about 8" then drop it a few inches daily till ur about 14 inch from canopy. You just starting one seed with that mighty bright light? I don't deal with seeds. But for cuttings I just use a single 250w cfl with a...

What's a death star? Star wars? Intergalactic hydro op. 10k hps and invisible lazer cannons? Lol I really should double check before I write I think I got it mixed up with my 56wpsf op.

Might I make a suggestion. I know u say u have it under controll but this might be good for future reference. Whenever I have had root based pets in the past. First I fdump the res, then clean it and the lid with bleach water mix. Then I fill up with only phd water and add 50% H2O2 at a rate of...

Just seen it written down in my diary my wpsf is 83.3recurring on this one dno where I got 86 from

I just checked out fogponics. For this to be practical I would need to have some sort of additional safety measures in place like back up foggers. Without this a planor rather allmost a hundred would be dead in hours. I can't afford to loose that much weed lol. The yield of a working medialess...

Personally I have no experience with fogponics and not quite sure what it is. If its the aeroponic system with misters I couldn't comment tbh. I phave never done it. The thing with aeroponics is there's to much to go wrong. While yields are impressive and growth rate is enhanced they lack a...

Nah I don't do pics kinda security consciece, no journal either. I really only started using forums earlier this year. Before I learned by mistake after mistake. Reading books and learning off buddys. Really underestimated the power of the mighty forum lol!Allthough my set up is perpetuall its...

Don't knock sog til you've tried it. I used to grow ebb and flow 1 plant per square foot 86w per square foot. Achieving around 92 grams per plant. Now I grow sog still ebb and flow in 6" rockwool blocks 4 plants per square foot still 86w per square foot. Now on average I yield 30 g per plant so...

Cooltubes are an excellent investment and well worth there money. Probably pay for themselves after the first crop due to better yield cos u can have ur lights much closer. The glass of my cooltubes sits about 8" from canopy. Since getting cooltubes and dropping them down I have been getting...

Hi al thanks for that. I'm gonna go the denser buds and less work lol. Especially as the yield would probably be the same. Same money+ less work = success!. I was wondering if I could pick ur brain abit on the use of bottled co2 in a grow room. I'm not fully commited yet but pretty sure I will...

Sorry al I'm not the best at getting ideas accross in writing. I'm trying to say that I have a choice. Grow 192 plants in a 6x8 area which is 83 watts per square foot or grow 288 plants in a 6x12 area which is 55 watts per square foot. Which do you think would yield the most? I have everything I...

Hi guys. Just thought I'd let people know about a company in the uk called garland that make both 100x100 cm and 120x120 cm trays for around £30. As a newbie hydro grower I know too well the dangers of shelling out a lot of money for trays. And aside from the dangerous and quite stupid idea of...

Yeah al sorry its my tablet it won't let me multi quote or use spaces to break up paragraphs. I do have 8" cooltubes. What did you think of the other question about the 4 3x6s rather than 2 4x6s. I have enough trays pumps and res' on hand to do this. Sorry for makin that last post so hard to...

I think you missed this one too al. Sorry to go on, I know ur real busy.

I'd be scared shitless to experiment like that lol. Takes a gut full of courage for me to use a 10% bleach mix to clean my room lol. I'm allways mixin it up then takin a puff..... Then paranoia...... Did i put bleach in or not??? How much went in. Second geussing myself and mixing a fresh one...

I don't know what the problem is with my tablet but that botched attempt at a diy multi quote went terribly wrong. There was meant to be spaces between each comment and reply. And in their absence that post became rather hard on the eyes. I've tried to split it up (again) fingers crossed this...

Yeah dude thanks for that. Personally I am in no way shape or form ready to experiment in such way. But its good to know that if I ever did then the resources and knowledge are here to learn from. Honestly I will never tire of reading Al's threads. It seems knowledge attracts knowledge. Easily...

I agree its not natural and an unneccesary risk well atleast for me it is

I will not be doing this. I don't like the fact that my plants would be robbed of light for 6 hours. I also dislike the fact that my available work time in the op without having to use silly greenlights and whatnot would be limited and at different times every day. Do you do this? It seems...
