it will be fine.

If the wire is hot, you are running too much through it. What do you have plugged into it?

If it were me and I wanted to achieve the best results, I would get a 400w HPS, an air cooled hood and a good high velocity inline fan and carbon filter. A switchable ballast will allow you to run MH for veg and HPS for flower. A single clip on fan would be enough for creating "wind" in the...

There are examples with pictures of people almost completely defoliating several times during veg and flower and producing huge yields. Do you top your plant? LST? Use artificial light? Force flowering? Not allow for pollination? We are not trying to grow a wild cannabis plant. We are...

great job!!!!!!!

Make sure the exhaust is on the top and the intake is on the bottom of the opposite side. If the room is at least several times bigger than the tent then you shouldn't have a problem. What is the ambient temp of the room that the tent is in? AC? Windows?

why so many mother plants? Are you running several different strains? SOG? Mothers take up a good amount of room. I wouldnt keep that many unless I was taking hundreds of cuttings every few weeks or keeping several strains. The space needed will depend on the length of time youre going to...

You're feeding at 12-1400ppm and you think you have a deficiency? What meter are you using?

Speed controller. I have found that fans work just as well on half speed and are much less noisy.

I would get a t5 or PLL fixture over CFL's. Better light spread, cooler, easier to adjust light and much cleaner looking. You can change spectrums by swapping bulbs. You can also make your own reflector and wire the ballasts outside the box for temp control. This would also give you more...

I dont think so. I was under the impression that pulling air through a cool tube was the best way to go. And passive intake twice the size of your exhaust is all you need. If you force more air that your pulling out, you will create positive pressure which will create leaks and allow...

I would cool the lights in a row with one fan. No need for a filter. Then use the other fan with a filter as a scrubber in the room. The only reason to run filter>hood>exhaust is if you only have one exhaust or no way to pull fresh air over the hoods. Since you have an fresh air intake, use...

If you run them in a square pattern you might consider a manifold. This would allow you to cool all 4 hoods with one fan/filter. Lining them up in a row would probably be most efficient if thats an option.

Thanks a lot. That site is great. I was really limited in my design because Lowez didn't have 3 way connectors. I had to use 90 degree elbows and T's which made the whole thing more complicated than it had to be. I need to get something better to cut it. I cant seem to get a clean, straight...

Has anyone rigged up a system that allows the light to be raised & lowered via a single pull (I was thinking wire rope). Ideally something that could be used to make the adjustment rope away from the light/plants so you wouldn't have to lean over the plants and try to adjust each side and make...

tap water is fine. The chlorine wont harm the plants at all. I would check to see if you have "soft" water. If you do you will need to add cal-mag before watering/feeding. IS the plant going to be exposed to rain? The soil you are using will sustain plants for weeks. I wouldnt feed until I...

Topping and other training really just distributes the branches so you have more tops. It doesn't substantially increase yield as the buds will generally be smaller but greater in number. You don't see 2 liter soda bottle size colas show up in a SCROG. I would think 2oz per plant is a safe bet.

I have never done it. I dont flush per se, I reduce my nutrients and use plain water for the last couple waterings. I would only flush if I had a toxic salt buildup from over fertilization. I dont think the water would do anything but add more moisture to the bud. This would only increase...

Buy a good dehumidifier now rather than after you have wasted all the time and $ on cheaper solutions.

Right because we are talking about SOG. And I mean big main colas.
