    Yes, I've had intermittent problem with it over the years and yes that usually fixes it. Not this time. Every time I go in there lately its fookin fooked. Of course I masturbate the floats until it start draining. It's still fooked a few hours later.

    PROBLEM: My drain pump gets vapor locked or something. It's running but not pumping anything. I replaced the pump, but it's still doing it. I replaced the hose that the pump is connected to, but it's still doing it. This morning I chopped about 2 ft off the end of the hose. It's now about...

    I also have a 8x4 tent. I think the optimal number of plants = 8. That's 4 each under two 1k lights. I like to add an extra empty bucket (that I can see through a window) so I can monitor the water level. I've gone with 12 buckets but things get way too crowded. Too crowded is all bad for...

    just got my fan/filter combo...

    Get those temps under control SOON or you'll be sorry. Get a 8in CanFan (I know that's really big) and the temp/speed controller I mentioned above. Problem solved.

    5 gal buckets are great if you have the proper controller. 3gal bucket are close to the same height as the original 2gal buckets so the same controller can be used. If you go 5gal with a short controller, the water won't come up high enough. Be sure you buy the "monster" controller bucket not...

    just got my fan/filter combo...

    Sucking through the filter is the recommended way. That's the way it designed to operate. I suggest going SMELLY AIR ---> CARBON FILTER --> COOL TUBE --> INLINE FAN (located in the attic) ----> ATTIC or DIRECTLY TO ROOF VENT. You want to put the cool tube between the filter and the fan...

    Is it worth it to seal my grow and add co2?

    If you're going closed-loop (sealed room) I highly recommend getting an environmental controller. http://www.greners.com/i/meters-timers/controllers/brand/sentinel/sentinel-chhc-4-day-night-environmental-controller.html This will regulate your Co2, air conditioning and humidity, and allow you...

    165x65x180 grow tent/ lighting ?

    If centimeters that equals ... 65"x25"x70". If u put 1200 watts in there :shock:, make sure you have great ventilation for the lights and room. That's enough space for 3 good plants though.

    You'll need 1" holes. I upgraded my buckets to 3 gal, and upped the lines to 3/4" about a year ago. I had to raise the controller a bit, but it definitely cleared up all my issues with clogged lines.

    IF you are new to LED and want help choosing what to buy, POST HERE!

    I'm interested in replacing my HID with LED. I (currently) have a GrowLab 4'x9' with 2 x 1k watt enclosed hoods. I would like to stay with 2 lights if possible, but I could probably be talked into going with 8 if that's what it will take. I can't say "money is no object", but I want to buy...

    Best LEDs today? Share info!

    I'm also looking for good information on LEDs. I've been happy with my HID setup, but I'm wondering if the LED technology has advanced enough to finally compete at the judges table. I know there are energy savings, but does the final product hold its own against HID? I'm looking forward to...

    New Grow Room Set Up

    4 plants I started in a 4x4 also.

    What do you think of this?

    There is a LOT more than just 2 lights required to grow nice plants. I suggest you spend AT LEAST 60 days reading forums and journals before you go out and spend a dime. Seriously, that will save you a lot of misery in the long run. You'll probably STILL buy all the wrong stuff the first...

    How to setup my 168 cubic foot grow room

    Since you're not really doing much with the exhaust but cleaning a little air, yes I would put the small fan on exhaust duty and use the big one to cool the lights.

    How to setup my 168 cubic foot grow room

    Your only problem is going to be heat. It's an awful big assumption that the temp will not reach above 65 degrees. What if it does? How will you cool the room if it gets warm? The 450cfm fan will effectively scrub the smell. You'll be soaking the entire basement at 1500 ppm (expensive). I...

    How to setup my 168 cubic foot grow room

    You're going to "pump that out of the room"? What exactly do you mean? You need to pump it out of the house, either into an attic or some other area that will FORCE fresh air to be drawn in from outdoors. Trying to restrict the duct is bad. Get a good speed controller (preferably one thats...

    Smell Suggestions

    Duct the cleaned air to the other side of the room and use oscillating wall fans to circulate the air. Exactly what kind of carbon filter do you have? It may be cheap china BS.

    Smell Suggestions

    are you "pulling" air through the filter or "pushing"? You should be pulling. http://www.jasons-indoor-guide-to-organic-and-hydroponics-gardening.com/exhaust-fan-setup.html

    Ventilation Question

    I have simular size space and lights. 400 cfm is enough to vent the room, but not really enough to cool the room when mother nature is not cooperating. I think you should get a LARGE 8" fan and run it off a temperature sensitive speed-controller. That way, you can run the fan at idle speed...
