I opened my tent the other day and one of my two 315w CMH were out. I took a look outside the tent and the ballast was off. I checked the fuse and it was blown. I managed to find the same fuses locally so I put in and plugged into the surge bar and it blew right away again. So I took it into...

I built a 9 site - 5 gallon bucket bubble cloner. I have 2 big airstones and a dual outlet air pump. I'm getting tons of bubbles so it's working great and ready for cuttings. My only question is....do I leave the air pump on 24hr...or do I cycle it? Like 2 mins on/2 mins off? Thanks

I've been growing in promix for a couple years and have decided to give coco a try. I was deciding between Blumats or a homemade (or prebuilt) irrigation system. I think I've decided to go with the floraflex irrigation with the square matrix on top. The only thing I'm still trying to decide is...

Hey everyone. I just bought a 4x8x6.5 tent and took down the old 4x3. I'm trying to decide how to put adequate lighting into it without dealing with crazy heat issues. Right now I've got some Aglex COB lights in there (1-2000 and 2-1200 for a true wattage of 840w from the wall.). I doubt that...

I've got a few plants going that have some leaves yellowing and crisping up. Also some spotting on some other leaves higher up. Im running ProMix potting mix....and I ran it my last auto grow and had these same issues to a point where it basically killed my grow. But I chalked it up to my...

I'm not sure what's going on here but I'll post pics of a branch I cut at the end of the post for your feedback. I tried growing autos for the first time and I completely f'd them up. Nute burns early, ph problems, lockout, heat issues. Just a clusterFk of a grow. I was going to chop them at...

Hey all... I got my clones put into my buckets about 7 days ago. They seemed happy with no noticeable shock and are still happy looking....other than the discoloring mentioned below. My setup: 3 gall buckets 75% coco/25% perlite Bottom: river rocks/perlite I started with a Coco brick...

Hi all... I've been blindly following the GH Drain to Waste feed chart for my grow. I'm growing in 3 gallon with 1/4 SS#4 and 1/2 ProMix and 1/4 perlite. Anyway, I've been feeding about once a week at about recommended PPM from chart...then water the rest of the week (usually 2-3 days later)...

I'm in the last few weeks and started my Late Bloom schedule from GH for drain to waste. This level uses Dry KoolBloom as a final boost. Normally, my schedule has been that I would feed (full amount) - then water - water (if needed) - and then feed (half amount) - water - water (if needed) every...

Currently I have one tent (4x3) going with 4" carbon exhaust. It's got a negative pressure even with the exhaust fan running at half speed and a small 4" duct fan running full speed for fresh intake. The 4" fresh fan is rated at 100cfm but it doesnt come close. Maybe 1/4 of that. Anyway, I've...

Ive been reading and reading and can't seem to find a definitive answer to my question. My setup: 600w MH 2 plants in 7g cloth pots 1 plant in 5g cloth pot Sunshine #4 with approx 10% extra Perlite and some EWC (maybe 5%). Also added a little extra dolomite lime. Soil pH (with meter) approx...

I transplanted two plabts from 3 g to 7 g pots the other day. When trying to get the plants out of the fabric pots...I had issues and disturbed the root balls. But later that day...the plants looked happy in their new homes. So, yesterday I decided to turn up my light to 600w (from the 450w I...

I'm looking at making a spare closet into a second flowering room. It's about 2x4x7ft and I was planning on using one 300w LED light. But I may have to use a second LED or a few CFLs to get full light to the whole area. Anyway, I'm thinking I'll probably just use a small 4" duct fan rated at...

This is my first grow and things have been going well. My problem is...when I first popped seeds I did 2 Green Crack and 2 White Cookies. The GC took off but the WC died after putting into soil-less mix. So after about a week...I popped a couple more WC and got one to seedling stage in Solo Cup...

This is my first attempt at growing. Started with seeds on July 3. Put 3 fem Green Crack and 2 White Cookies in some water...then paper towel. All but one GC showed taproot (wouldn't even sink during soak so I figured it was a bum seed). Put into Solo cups with SS #4, extra perlite, and some...

I've been reading on ballast RF interference. Right now I've got my ballast sitting outside my tent. I brought an AM radio into the room where my tent is located and had interference. Also checked in my truck outside and seemed to have interference (but still had varying degrees of...

Hi all... I decided to try growing a try so I bought myself a 3x3 tent with 600w dimmable light with air cooled hood. Also have a 4" carbon filter and 4" fan and 6" fan. I have a couple seedlings on the go in a small separate area under CFLs for now. I put the tent together and hooked up the...

I'm getting ready to start my first grow. Got almost everything ordered and on route. My seeds should be showing up in a day or two and I've been thinking about my tap water quality. My tap water isn't great and sometimes leaves a noticeable film on sinks...especially my one bathroom that has...
