there is a good guide in the DIY section. cant find it at the moment. Basically it consists of a resivoir, 5 or 10 gallons is fine. A mall pump sits into the res then goes to a hose, the hose goes to a distribution box that looks like an octopus and splits to a bunch of small tubes. Put a little...

There a thread about 5 topics down 5 pages long about various plasma lights, much on this one itself. Until they drop the price, not sure he many bites they will get as the coverage area is relatively small for that price tag.

The problem is that it uses the luxim metal halide plasma light engine and not the sulphur plasma that we(me) are waiting for. The luxim engine puts out a pretty good spectrum and could be killer for some serious veg, but it lacks the red side of the spectrum for a full and maximized flower...

You could fit two in, but it may get tight. Start with one and dial the settings in. Best bet would be to make two lockers ;p

So you broke the main stem(bent in half) then pinned all the branches in new directions to basically make a large flat plant? Still a little lost as far as supercropping goes. Thanks rep for your little plant :)

Try to mount that fan through the board into a stud in the wall or it's likely to shake an buzz the crap outta that room. It's a really good idea though.

Sounds like your on the right path. I believe the leds can be daisy chained together, but I'm not sure how many max per strip with one resistor per strip. It gets technical, and i have never studied electricity beyond basic automotive applications and rudimentary home wiring.

Found it, To me this is more useful that the sticky that is about homemade co2 but it never got much credit. https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/343918-myth-busters-real-truth-co2.html

Also air with higher concentration of co2 will heat up faster/more than a low co2 concentration. It's like water. The more that is suspended in water the more matter is available to absorb suns rays and warm up. When I get back in i will link you a test of homemade co2 methods. The guy does a...

Those temps are fine. In fact the co2 guys run those temps optimally. Fr no co2 enrichment you could drop a few degrees but don't be scared to sleep. Just make sure you don't get to the 90s, that's where trouble starts. At the same time strains are different, I've seen some do ok under 90s...

Yeah much more light. Maybe 5x just to get by

Any more thoughts on this? I have been thinking about using this theory in conjunction with a regular timer on a 6/6 cycle. Dastically reducing light I know, but your getting two days every day. The speed might be worth the drop in yield. Figure multiply a yield by 2 and you might be close to a...

If you are using less plants I would definently lst them to get a better yield per plant. Even with 2k watts the bottom will still appriciate more light.

50w is going to be not much light. I would put two (at least) cfls in there to help. Hps isn't ideal for the vegetative stage. If you are helping with some cfls you could use 6000k cfls for grow and 2700k when flowering.

so your not concerned with diminishing the longevity of your fan by pushing very hot air through it? These fans cool themselves by passing air through, yet i feel it may be difficult if the air is very hot. If your hood is sealed well the smell isnt an issue, but i would be worried about stray...

if you rinsed it well enough there should be no salt in the coco, which is what most people get trouble from. what brand is the coco? you could always put the whole thing in the dome if it fits, if its the soil the plants pretty much gone either way so might as well hope its the humidity.

Do you mean purchase an AC unit? a Swamp cooler works by evaporating water into the air as it passes through. This lowers the temps only slightly(although to us humans it feels much cooler) but increases humidity quite a bit. Be careful to not over saturate your area. With an ac unit, you just...

black lights put out uva radiation and in such levels that they can easily hurt the plant. what you want is uvb. This can come from reptile lights sold in most pet stores. Though i just read a review by a consistent UVB user that removed his light for one grow and actually saw no difference. So...

how about those sonic misters? They use ultrasonic waves or something to turn water into a fog. I have seen them in stores in fountains and can say they are pretty quiet. For DWC i would just buy the quietest pump available. set it on a few mouse pads, and if needed build a box around it with...

i would put my money on faulty power supplies. The cheap led units are made with cheap power supply units. Think cheap laptop charger, some work some crap out day one. 70 pounds is about average for a ufo from a store (chinese crap at a markup twice). If they don't warranty the unit for you...
