    Light controller or timer to restart lights after brown out

    I'm using a hyrdofarm digital timer to control my lights http://www.hydrofarm.com/pb_detail.php?itemid=4168 There was a brown out (where the power goes off for just a second) in my area yesterday. When i checked my grow the lights were off and they didn't come back on afterwards. I immediately...

    Sentinel CHHC-1 software

    In case anyone is interested I found some software that will capture readings from the CHHC-1 and exports the data to an Excel spreadsheet. The software install is in Chinese or Japanese but just press the "next" button and it installs fine on Windows XP. The program itself is in English...

    Dilute pH Down before adding to nutes?

    I was reading an article in urban garden magazine (Nov/Dec issue) that said that adding pH down directly to your nutrient solution "causes nutritional elements to precipitate out of the solution and therefore become unavailable to your plants. To avoid this... dilute 1 part pH adjuster to 100...

    Magnesium?

    Some of my plants have rust colored brown spots in between the veins on the leaf edges and extremities. I think it's possibly a Mag def but being a rook I really don't know. The spots look light green/yellow in the pics but in real life they are more brownish.

    S-t-r-e-t-c-h (too tall!)

    So this Sour Diesel is starting the 3rd week of flower and it's about 4 ft tall and stretchy. My lights can only go about a foot higher and it's at least 18" above the average height of the rest of the group. Is it too late to top it? Any suggestions?

    Exhaust fan timed and temp controlled

    In my veg room I have an exhaust fan on a TMP-DNe temp sensor so it kicks on when it gets hot in the room and turns off when the temp drops to a set level. Outside temps have been low recently so it's not turning on as often as it was when I set it up. I'm concerned that my babies may not be...

    CO2 usage

    My grow room is 10x10x8. I have a 50lb CO2. I've been running my an average of about 1250 ppm. My room is not completely "sealed" in the fact that I am bringing in fresh air as needed to control temps. I'm using the CHHC-1 so that CO2 is not released while the room is being ventilated for...

    Intake passive vs active, CFM recommendation

    I'm setting up my 9x9x8' grow room and I just installed a 10" max fan for exhaust (see journal for details: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/232930-first-grow-3000w-ebb-gro.html#post2972131 ) . I will also be installing a 10x39" Phresh filter for odor control. I'm trying to figure out...

    Backdraft dampers

    I'm setting up a grow room with CO2 and trying to figure out how to keep the CO2 in the room between ventilation periods (see journal for grow room details: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/232930-first-grow-3000w-ebb-gro.html#post2972131 ). I'm thinking of using backdraft dampers but I'm...

    Dramatic temp change and plant growth

    My friend has the deadband on his AC setup to 3 degrees so his AC comes on fairly often. I've read that a lot of on/off intervals is not good for the compressor and is not very efficient. I was also thinking of combining AC with venting to cool the room very quickly but also have the deadband...

    Ebb & Gro bucket system - bucket spacing

    I'm in the process of setting up the Ebb & Gro bucket system. My room is 9x9' and I've got 4x 600w lights. The strains are Sour D, Flo, and OG K(r)ush. (for more info see journal here: First Grow - 3000w - Ebb & Gro - H&G - Sealed ) I'm cutting the 3/4" tubing and trying to figure out how much...

    Cooling idea

    Building on this idea I'm thinking of trying the following: Put the intake and exhaust on a thermostatically controlled outlet so that they only come on when it is cost efficient to bring outside air in. If it's 90 degrees outside i'd rather not bring that air in and try to cool it down. So the...

    Dual hose AC and CO2

    So I got a new dual hose AC unit. So far works great. I have noticed that the CO2 level does seem to dip when the AC is on (from like 800 ppm to 600 ppm). I'm thinking maybe even though there is an intake hose perhaps some air is being exhausted out. Or perhaps CO2 is being "filtered" out...

    Plant spacing, light spacing, and internode distance

    So I was having a problem with stretch. A couple of plants grew from 6" to 24" in 2 weeks with very large spacing in between nodes. Part of the problem which i have resolved (I think) was the light (a 4 bulb T5) was too far away. I pruned the tall plants and moved the light closer to the...

    Zinc, Iron, of Sulfur

    My dumb ass didn't change the nute soup for 3 weeks. I have 6 grapefruit diesel along with some sour diesel and some others. The 6 grapefruit diesel (none of the others) are looking like either Zinc, Iron, or Sulfur but I'm having a hard time telling which one it is. they have all been in...
