    What does "part" mean? 1 ppm, surely not? What would be the measurement per gal? 1 part micro to 1 part water is 50%, thats way too much. 1ml micro and 3-4ml of bloom to one gal?

    I have friends in low places, lol. I too am East Coast but 8-11hrs north of you. Im hoping medical cannabis passes here this fall. Its just ridiculous, Nixon and Regan made the worst call on cannabis. It should be legal nationally, its not a drug its a medicinal plant. Period! Drugs undergo a...

    Are you eastcoast or westcoast? The only prob with flouride and chloramines is it can cause nute bind and a few other things. Try to find a diff source, IF you absolutely cannot then you must do what ya gotta do. Ask around, see if anyone in your area knows where there is a natural spring(human...

    You can get a chiller for $100 on Ebay, I know thats not exactly cheap. I would get one, I just have no where to plug it in. lol. Call your water dept, if they use chloramines or flouride you dont want to use it. Niether evaporates like chlorine. I have a still and make shine so I can make all...

    Its too hard to explain on here but I know a trick by looking at the seeds how to select the female seeds. Its always been 90% or better for me, out of 10 seeds ill get one or two males instead of 50%-60%. You only need cal-mag if your using coco coir or RO water. I use distilled, 001ppm. IMO...

    What kind of nutes you using? When you transplant your plants into the buckets you want you water level a half inch up the baskets, once roots are several inches long drop the water to about 2" below the basket. For the very first week after transplant use no nutes or no more than 100ppm, once...

    Im not entirely sure on that, even though your buckets are 6.5 there wont be 6.5 gallon circulating through each bucket. My buckets are 5 gal, but at start they only use 3.25 gal then once the roots are in the water it goes down to 2.5 gal. If you are unable to keep your nutes under 70f please...

    Holy shit man, your growing enough for you and I both! Lol. If your using t5's you may not even need a AC. Im running 1000w HID. Get some of those insulated clamps for attaching your fan to your filter and that will reduce quit a bit of your fan noise. Also hang your fan with rubber cords and...

    Flange kit. Oh I though you said that AC has a humidifier, it has a dehumidifier. You dont want to put that side the tent, you'll have to vent the air in. You want some humidity in your tent especially when you first transplant your clones or seedlings. I would get one without the dehumidifier...

    The flange will need to be whatever size your duct hoses are. Google DuraBreeze Flange Kit or grow room duct flange kit. If the exhaust on the AC is a different size than your filter and light exhaust you will need a kit for each exhaust of appropriate sizes. 4", 6", 8" & 10" are the most...

    I would put the portable AC right in the tent if you have the room, if not its easy to use ducting but with the built in humidfier it would be fantastic inside the tent. Cut another hole in the window kit and use a flange to attach the ducting. If you cant cut the window kit use a piece of 1/4"...

    Ok, the 1 1/2" black tube(left) feeds cold air directly into my EcoPlus2 air pump, the center 4" dryer duct goes directly to one of the air vents at the bottom of my tent, and the 1 1/2" blk tube(right) pushes the fog out of my home made fogging unit(the other pic) and into the top of my tent...

    I use the window AC, if your going to use a specific AC for your grow I would get one of those portable one room AC's on wheels that has the 4" exhaust duct and window kit and vent the heat out the window. They make them pretty small so if you have the room put the until right in you room or...

    A little help from fellow growers please?

    Its not doing it now, its pointing toward the light again. Shouldnt be over watering, its growing in water and theres so much bubbles the water looks like it boiling. My tent temp averages about 76f. I read that plants will rest at times durring long daylight hours. Hopefully thats all it is...

    What I did was affixed a 4" dryer duct to the part of the AC vent that blows the hardest air and attached the other end directly to the tent breathing vent so its blowing AC'd air directly into my tent but still cools the room AND blows on my ballast, air pump, and fogger tank. I reduced my...

    My air pump sits outside my tent and my AC blows directly on it. This pump draws air through a filter on the bottom side and it sucks a decent amount of air. My pump doesnt get even warm but like I said my AC blows right on it. It doesnt seem to get very warm when the light is off for 6hrs. Hope...

    I have a speed controller but I have to run it wide open anyway. Someone told me to put the buckets on bricks to wick the heat away, or on something with space below the buckets and use a fan to blow cool air under and around the buckets. I thought about insulated mylar. Its been cool the past...

    A little help from fellow growers please?

    Does anyone see anything wrong with this plant other than the little bit of nute burn at the tips? Its not standing straight up toward the light like normal. The roots are great for only 9 days and gaining 2"-3" of root per day. Its time to change nutes tomorrow and im going to go with half the...
