The flange is the metal rim portion of the filter that the ducting is attacked to. Why are you so worried about the humidity? Tubs of wet perlite help raise humidity better than tubs of water alone. Might help.

Yup. 600w lumatek dimmable digital ballast $150 - http://www.thehydrosource.com/Lighting/Ballasts/Lumatek/Lumatek_600w_Dual-Voltage_HPS_MH_Dial-A-Watt_Dimmable_Sunlight_Supply_Inc?zenid=r6d4qh4edbq22cj92sm8ve0an2 Air cooled hood $90 -...

Everything looks great. I personally wouldn't worry about the temps unless they climb, nor the humidity. I find high humidity end of flower is a killer but aside from that and when you are cloning it's not a huge player. Why the reductions? I'm sure you could get a flange for your filter...

You wouldn't want to run a HPS bulb in a plastic box either. You'll do fine with CFLs as long as you add a few more down the line.

You can buy them at most auto stores. They sell them for clearing brake/transmision lines.

Compost and all the other organic amendments... Look up super soil and make it using your native soil versus store bought.

I make my own "super soil". If you're following Subs recipe I'd mix it at whatever ratio he recommends. I want to say the 65g smart pots are 36" in diameter and either 18" or 22" tall.

Sounds great. Thats a terrible shame this thread in particular was wiped out. Not too many high quality comparisons out there.

I grow in a 4x4 tent under a 600w light in a 65g smart pot with super soil and it works amazing. Progression - day from seed entering soil Day 1,5,9 Day 13,18,20 Day 22, 29/5, 32/7 36/11, 39/15 two plants removed, 41/17 48/22, 51/25, 58/32 62/36, ?/...

Here's GE's cast pattern for a 23w CFL (EL23R). Small image but it clearly is directional to a degree. For reference here is an HID in a reflector -

CFLs are actually designed to have a directional downward cast pattern. At least that's what GEs light graph shows. If you look closely at most CFLs you can see that the tops of the coils are actually thicker than the bottoms. Although take those numbers above with a grain of salt as the...

My wife has the same problem with passing out. They can go through scar tissue but it is more painful. Many piercers I know encourage the use of a very small punch for piercing through scar tissue - this will not look like a gauge due to the small size but it is considerably more painful than...

I've seen fungal infections looks like that but a different color. That pink is pretty nutty. It is definitely a canker of some sort.

Are the pink parts hard to the touch? It looks like the plant has an infection of some sort. Definately pretty crazy looking but I wouldn't encourage doing much with the pitch.

You can definitely post them full size through photobucket on here: Just upload it via URL and don't hit the reference locally button.

O snap, do I owe you something as well? I had forgotten. And I moved so let me toss you a new address when you get around to it - no rush.

Hehe. I have some pretty absurd social anxieties. If there are any more than a few people around that I do not know I start to freak out a bit inside. Subsequently I spend a lot of my time at home. I also have this terrible habit of getting overly obsessed with things. That 40g was my first...

There will definitely be lots of plants. For those unaware I'm a bit of a planted tank nerd. All of my tanks except the goldfish and the betas (not pictured) are soil bottom planted tanks - no dosing/water changes, all are self sustaining biomes. Old video of my 40g, it's much much grassier...

You are very very wrong. Lumen/watt changes drastically as you go up and down the wattage scale for all lights, CFL, tubes, HPS, MH, MV... Go compare the same brand bulb in 50w, 250w, 600w, 1kW when it comes to lumen/w. Easy easy thing to look up online. Or compare a 5w clf to a 48w cfl to a...
