    Long veg period Larges plants Aeroponic or Bubbleponic or NFT preferences

    I've begun to enjoy the fruits of a longer hydroponic Veg period. It seemed that many growers are (were) interested in minimizing the grow cycle, but for legal reasons (plant count laws) I'm inclined to use fewer, older and larger plants and a wider canopy. I'm about 4 yrs into hydro and have...

    temps in 60s

    I’m having a bit more trouble in the winter in a “cold basement” than I’d imagined when I was drilling dryer vents for summertime venting of the heat. So far this winter, the lights push the room up to about 74 – 76, with a 500CFM exhaust fan running. The intake air comes from under the...

    layout for 24 plants, 2x1000W HPS, Ebb & Grow

    I'm growing 24 plants and have purchased 2x1000W HPS (Sunmaster). The lights claim 150,000 lumens. I thought I'd keep the plants close together to "best" use the lights. So I went ahead and connected all my Ebb & Gro buckets almost as close as possible to one another (using 6 rows of 4...
