Anyone have ideas on this? Just put them in my room and am having second thoughts about possible toxic fumes.

Hi All, I just made 2 3x3 wood tables on wheels to place my 8 plants on as I have an extremely narrow growing space. They are all on plastic trays so not directly on the wood. I waterproofed the boards with a silcone based caulk and this waterproofing sealant...

Interesting perspectives, thanks guys. I have my hoods at an angle so light is spreading towards all 8 plants from each hood. I do notice the plants under the HPS are stretching a bit more than the ones under the MH. I switch them around ever couple days or so. No ScROG or anything.. just FIMM...

Hi All, Quick question on best use of light. I have 8 plants in 5gl pots going on week 4 of veg. I have 2 rows of 4 in a 3x5 grow room. I have 2 600w digital ballast lights with easy cool 6 air cooled reflectors. My question is what bulbs should I use for veg? I am not a noob and understand...

If you are not medical, you might as well get a 250W HPS because 1 plant is 1 plant no matter how much light u got on it. If u are taking a risk then you might as well make sure you'll get a decent reward. Not worth it IMO otherwise.

People are not trying to be rude to ya bro, I've asked plenty of questions on here over the years and everyone has been extremely helpful. The problem is, the first major rule in growing is you need to conduct A LOT of research and get everything in order before you even start germinating your...

Thanks for the reply bro. I checked them this AM after 6 hours of darkness and they look like they are loving it. About 1'' per growth in some plants. Oh.. in case anyone cares the Sour Diesel genetics from Cali Connection are growing some great looking plants. They took to FIMM very well and...

Well I went ahead and put up the other 600w and used the HPS bulb. Lights are about 20'' away from the plants but my temps are only about 74F (yay for air cooling). I am keeping an eye on the leaves cause I had a few curl up on me and do some upward clawing earlier, even though the temps were...

Hi All, Quick question on how to utilize my lighting. I have a 3X5 space with 8 plants in veg in 5 gallon smart pots (2 rows of 4). I just transplanted them into the 5s from 1gl grow bags. I had them under 1 600w MH light. After transplanting, I had to raise the light from 18'' up to about...

Hi All, Quick question about pH of soil runoff water. I am using FFOF with a bit extra perlite in 3 gallon grow bags. I transplanted from cups to bags last week and watered last night for the first time. I pH'ed my water to 6.8, watered, and then tested the runoff. pH of the runoff was 6.1 -...

I have considered one. I spent about 3 hours one day researching everything I could find about light movers and results. Essentially I found that they are great for veg, but not so good for flowering. Plants certainly can use all the direct lighting they can get and the light mover reduces...

I plan on vegging them for a while, probably 2 months starting from right about now. I am going to top, and do LST. They will be in 5 gallon smart pots. The celing is about 10 feet tall - plenty of room. They are all hybrids, 5 Cali Connection Original Sour Diesel, 1 Reserve Privada Kandy Kush...

Yea, that's what I figured people would say. Seems like the best bet given my space constraints. I didn't know if folks had any better ideas. Thanks man!

Hi All, Quick question about lighting. I am vegging 8 plants in a narrow, but long basement room (3' X 20'). They are current vegging in 8, 1 gl grow bags but I plan to put and finish them in 5gl smart pots. I will be transplanting into the 5gls in about 2-4 weeks or whenever they are ready. I...

Yes you can. What you do is this: --> = air flow direction carbon filter --> ducting --> air cooled hood w/ HID light --> ducting --> inline fan/exhaust fan (at least 6'' w/ 4-600 w light) --> ducting --> exhaust point alternatively you could do this: carbon filter ---> inline fan attached...

This is just in a brand new plastic bucket so I have dechlored water on hand in case I need it. I do have an airstone in it bubbling. Come to think of it, I did soak the airstone in a mild bleach solution prior to placing it in the bucket.. but I rinsed it thoroughly and its been a couple of...

Hi All, Quick question about pH. I have a digital pH meter which I calibrated twice and tested in calibration solutions just to make sure it is working properly. My tap water runs about 7.4 straight out of the tap. I pH about 3 gallons of my tap water to 6.8 by adding the pH down. I have an...

I'd be weary of those FrescaSol fixtures. I did a lot of research on them and ultimately decided to go standard w/ good air cooling/conditioning. The reason was, u know how water reflects light? Well some people were finding the water between the light and your plants was reflecting A LOT of...

Awesome man, I really appreciate your advice. I am thinking soil to start off with while I get things up and running the first year. Then I might switch to hydro for faster results. If you have any other ideas about how to use my "fruit cellar" in the most efficient way possible please let me...

Any ideas?
