What's happening fellow growers! I'm looking to set up a 10 x 13 vivosun greenhouse. My plants are getting pretty big on my deck and I'm trying to limit prying eyes. I'm concerned that the greenhouse may need extra maintenance in proving the right climate for the plants. I.e. humidity may get...

I recently moved to a house and I am looking at putting a 4x8 tent in the basement. Unfortunately the room I am placing it in has no easy access outlets, so I am looking at putting in a dedicated subpanel to run all of the tents electrical. I would welcome any advice on power set-up or what some...

Hey guys, I've been eyeing these CyberPower UPS Towers for a while now (1500VA/1000W or the 1500VA/900W) and I almost bought one last night but I stopped myself. Does anyone run their tent through one of these already? How long can you run lights, a humidifier and a wall fan on one of these? Are...

Hello, I have an indoor frost pro 280W in a 4x2 tent... I am wondering about light dimming and the height of the light for the plants... If I am starting a grow with seedlings what height should my light be at and also how dim should the light be? How do I increase the light over time on the...

How strong and what height should i run those quantum boards (knock off qb288 v2 lm301b x 4 @ 500w build) at different stages? I'll put my first seeds in soil soon and don't know how much power should i use or how high should i hang them from the cups. I don't have other lights i could use...

OK guys, here the thing. I never really knew much about smart meters or power rates or any of that before recently when my power bill nearly tripled!! A couple months ago a power guy came knocking on my door saying he was there to install a smart meter. I at the time didn't know I could refuse...

Hi guys, I currently have 1 600w in my grow tent that's 1.5x1.5x2 meters my plants are in week 3 of flower I was wondering if putting another 600w hps in there would make much of a difference or is it too late in the cycle? I was thinking after the stretch has stopped would be a good time, I...

hey RIU community. Got some questions concerning my useage of power on my first grow. I have done plenty of reading on this and have pretty much came to the conclusion that as long as I don't have some outrageous setup and as long as I pay my power bill on time, I shouldn't have any issues with...

Hello everyone, I have been waiting patiently for a couple months to see if the COB switch over had any other benefits other than the biggest, frostiest buds I've grown (Check my grow journal, in my sig) or no heat in the grow room and I wanted to contribute by showing an example of the amount...

All, I currently have a Haze v3 vaporizing unit that is battery powered with 2 bowls that are independent, I love this machine and how portable it is.
