    I have a 5x5x7 tent with 3 600w hps and a 14,000btu ac. according to the 3000btu per hood this should be more than enough. I run lights at night but the temp is still 85 right under lights. I have a 900cfm 8" fan blowing through the 8" air cooled hoods and a co2 tank with sensor. The lights are...

    5x5 tent with no positive or negative pressure

    I am trying to create an environment where as little if not no new air is introduced and little to no air pushed out. I have a 5x5 tent. After researching portable ac's I found that dual hose ac's use outside air to cool the until and expells the same air out. There is a second intake on the...

    light placement.

    Hello. I use a 2.5x2.5x5 tent. I use a 600w hps. Temps are way under control. light sits 3" from canopy. I get 2lbs at least. I think this is because of how close the light is. (the bottoms get enough light to be dense) Because of this anything further pazt the edges of the 2.5' area doesn't get...

    Best butter to make.. butter?

    I have some buds I want to make in to butter. I am going to put in crock pot low setting, just barely cover with butter and let cook for few hours. Is this the best method? I have butter with 3% fat. I've seen up to 7% in stores. More fat absorbs more right? What's a really good butter for this...

    Grand Daddy Purple training

    Hey everyone. I am starting a new grow with Grand Daddy Purps this time. Cross between Purple Erkel and Big Bug. I grow in a 2x2 tent with a screen. I literally bend everything horizontally, not just throw a screen on and put each branch in a square. I'm hoping to learn a bit about how it grows...

    strain info

    I'm looking for a strain that tends to have a great yield with more dense flowers and maybe close nodes for bigger buds. I just finished a chem/og grow that was for the most part great. good density and potency. It hermies at the end though. The one who gave them to me let me know about this...

    Are they done yet?

    Amber trichomes

    I always use the trichomes for cutting. Something I have noticed though is when I see 25%-50% amber.. if ilook on the same flower only on the bottom.. all the trichomes have always been milky. Has anyone else noticed that? It seems like the trichomes that are shaded tend to not turn amber. Does...

    Harvesting early?

    Hello. I have some ladies in their 64th day of flowering. About 10% of the colas are 50% brown hairs. The other 90% are all still white. On all of them the trichomes are 80% milky. Still no amber. The strain is xxxog (chem og) When I got it I asked for a 60 day strain.. and later found this is...

    Ways to cool your light?

    Hey. I was just wondering of some ways people came up with to cool their hood. I have mine in a 2x2x5 tent and run a ac hose to the intake for the fan/light. It keeps my tent perfect. If I turn the ac off.. the 6" 500cmf fan isn't good enough and the tent rises to 115. I am using a 600w sealed...

    co2 running out quickly?

    Lots of gas companies say a pound of co2 will enrich 7.5-8.7 cu.ft. If I run my co2 regulator all 12 hours at .2cu.ft/hour then I'm using roughly 2.5 cu.ft a day.. so assuming I use a little more that means a pound should last me roughly 3 days. I was curious why my 20 lb co2 tank empties in...

    Burnt top colas

    I knew I had to water plants at lights on but I also had to take kids to school.. I figured a couple hours would be fine. Everything is perfect in the tent. 75 degrees.. when I run co2 85. Plants love the light where it is. Well in 2 hours with no water and co2 temps all the plants totally...
