The best tip I can give for indoor growing is be just as concerned with your low temp as your high temps. I just see so many growers so concerned about high temps. To me the lower temp is just important if not more important then higher temps. That's just for your flowering not so important for veg
Great tip! But don't underestimate the young ones tolerance to cold. I like to see at least 66 farenheight at the roots. Preferably 68 to 70. I lost plants in my basement. Went droopy and purple first. I didn't know at the time your tip.

Everything thermal cut out/surge protected and spread load as much as possible, unwind cables for heat dissipation. Ensure cables are not near anything that runs warm/hot such as heating pipes, chimneys (especially pvc types) ballasts, lighting etc. Never have in/out/ac on same load in-case of line failure, the soaring heat/humidity/condensation is no doubt fire/electric shock potential. Have fire alarms, reduce burnable items to absolute minimum, space out components to slow down fire in worse case. If fire breaks out, just remember the smoke let off will put you down quicker than Tyson in his prime. The very first thing you should do is cut power at the mains if you intend on entering. It's one of those things we'd all advise against but still probably do it anyway. However, if all you can see is black smoke... let the fker burn. You should also think twice if your only option is throwing buckets of water around. At some point your going to turn the electric back on.

Don't take for granted the dangers of having high W, water and burnable items in the same place.

most old skool hybrids may kick your face.
Well, we disagree.

try them before writing stupid things.
Assuming you know what I've tried is the only stupid thing I see written.

I've smoked a Super Skunk that destroys all that fucking "new skool" super strong stuff with stupid names like "Sunset Sherbert"
I said 'most', not all. It's clear that reading comprehension is not your strong suit.

I'm new , but these are what my thoughts .
Hopefully it helps , if they are wrong please let me know .

5ml baking powder,10ml vinegar per gallon of water on her looks petteier.

After 12/12, if the lights off for 2plus days,she may flowers sooner or dies.

More flower needs more and better roots .
When the roots aren't good enough , keep less flowers instead only little stars in the end .


These not sure !! :
When space is a problem,hot day less leafs better ,cold day more leafs better ?

Take off most of big leafs in last 2weeks ,the buds will be heavier ?


Can any1 help me with the DWC ,please !

BK,How hot the water can be ;I use 5G buckets, when the light on, the water temperature will goes up to 70+ , I know that's bad!

Dose DWC need less nuts than Drain to waster ?

If you are into hydro - switch from "NPK ratio calculations" to ppm calculations - the sooner the better.

Read university grade books about greenhouse business and hydroponics.

Cheap equipment is only starters equipment - soon as possible switch to branded stuff.

There is a lot of misinformation in this business you you need to get general agricultural concepts to understand what is a myth and what is right.

And like with everything - measure twice cut once.

Vitamin C will perk your plants right up! A Flintstones pill will go a long way! (I learned that here in the advanced section)
About how much flinstone per gal of water? Also, currently starting week 6 flower on a supposed strawberry kush...was gifted a gram loved it went back next day gifted again got home ripped nug open and out rolls a beautiful little bean...she germed in 4 days popped shortly after and has been extremely vigorous ever since. I vegged for 6 weeks in a stealth Rubbermaid with 150 total watts in CFLs and 18in t8s which had to be elegantly forced into the opening haha....one day woke up and went to check on her have a toke and she was plastered against ceiling so i topped then a week later I LSTed for a week....eventually had
To build a 4x4x4 grow tent from 20$ worth of pvc from Home Depot and used items around house for enclosure.....now running around 320 total watts with 12 CFLs a 2 bulb 24inch t8 horizontally across backside and 3 18" t8. Just put all my bulbs together and did a 3:1 ratio of 2700k to 5000-6500k. As soon as I flipped to flower she rose from about 10inches to a staggering 28" within about a 7 day period....she has about 9 mains and is looking superb. Btw it's my first grow, I snuck into the advanced forums......sorry....

Anyways that's my rant
