    Drip system Problem Need help please

    im a big fan of the less nutes, the better. i use one compound for veg, and one compound for flower. ive even ran 20-20-20 for an entire grow and couldnt really notice any major differences besides alot of secondary leaves to trim.

    Cfl lights help needed

    try to LST (low stress training) the plants as much as possible, so that you have the maximum amount of budsites exposed to the lamps. check out some journals on here that have LST in the title for good pointers.

    Cfl lights help needed

    i have little experience with autos in a SCROG so i cant really comment on them. however, it seems to me that SCROGing an auto would defeat the purpose of a SCROG, as a proper SCROG requires a lengthy veg period to build up a decent screen. Since autos flower based on age, i would think that you...

    Drip system Problem Need help please

    drip systems are designed to irrigate with water, not hydroponic solution. it wont matter if your using chem or organic nutes, the nozzles will clog. drip nozzles even clog when using plain water.... with a 55 gal res, you need to try flooded tubes, or deep water culture, or flood and drain...

    Cfl lights help needed

    yes, you can. the lower the k rating of the lamp, the better. most commercial CFL's are 2700k, which is a very reddish hue of light. avoid lamps that are labeled cool white. however, dont expect a large yield, cfl's have very low lumens and PAR ratings as compared to other types of lamps. i...

    keep throwing breakers, not certain on the best way to handle it

    this is where your wrong. if it was a 15 amp breaker or fuse, it would trip as soon as he tried to turn on his 1kw's.

    keep throwing breakers, not certain on the best way to handle it

    HIRE AN ELECTRICIAN. your pulling enough power to start several fires, which is why your tripping breakers. you need to split the load, and you need to have a pro do it.
