    Anybody Want To Double Their Yield?- Desertrat's Top and Prune?

    just an update on the two lowryders' progress. they are both fattening up nicely and still seem to have a couple of weeks to go, but for consumption reasons i don't know if i'm going that long. plant that was topped only: plant that was topped and pruned(the greener growth in the top right...

    Myth busters - the real truth on CO2 in indoor grows

    thanks. if this works, there's no reason it won't work without any other source of co2. you just have to get the ingredients right and probably add one new bottle a day and take out one old bottle, keeping each container in the room for two days (or longer if you use larger containers). that...

    Myth busters - the real truth on CO2 in indoor grows

    well, hit me over the head with a 2 x 4. this was simple. for the second experiment i'm going to run the ghetto system in my flowering room this time and see how much of a difference is made by a more leaky room and more plants. i'll start it as soon as the first experiment falls below 1,000...

    Myth busters - the real truth on CO2 in indoor grows

    on to new business, co2 at 1125 just now so the sugar/yeast solution has kept the grow room between 1025 and 1625 ppm for two and a half days, the minimum time i was shooting for with this first experiment. i'm planning out the second experiment based on these results. from here it appears...

    Myth busters - the real truth on CO2 in indoor grows

    very, very big sigh. i'm trying not to be rude, but it's kinda silly for you to be telling a research and development chemical engineer your opinions from misreading wikipedia. the activated carbon in a carbon filter is a solid and never, never becomes suspended in air much less chemically...

    What vent setup should i use for a 400 watt HPS uncooled in a 1m/1m/2m grow tent????

    you should be fine with a 170 cfm inline fan (not the cheap boosters at home depot, check out hydro stores' inline fans), 4 inch ducting and you can size your filter with info typically at hydro stores web sites.

    Myth busters - the real truth on CO2 in indoor grows

    your biggest problem would be keeping co2 from spiking up over time. you'd have to get the amount of ingredients just right to produce at the same rate the plants use it. or, you could just poke a small hole in the fridge. in a typical household grow room you get something like an air...

    amount of light vs power input

    one light over the meter: meter reading: two lights over the meter: meter reading questions? :-? edit - first reading is probably low because the light wasn't directly above the meter. an inch makes a big difference with cfl's

    amount of light vs power input

    no, that is another one of those myths. the light is additive. people who say not just do not understand physics. go outside tonight with two flashlights and shine them separately on the ground. then point them at the same spot - want to bet whether it's brighter or not? what is in practice...

    amount of light vs power input

    jesus christ. lowest amount of light for flowering - 3,000 lumens per square foot of growing area. take your total lumens from all lights and divide by the square footage of your growing area. recommended light for flowering 7,000 to 10,000 lumens per square foot. much above 10,000 can start...

    Myth busters - the real truth on CO2 in indoor grows

    back with all my senses intact. you need to at least know the rate of co2 addition - does your regulator show a flow amount (as in cubic feet per time period)? if so, then no reason why this experiment won't help you. without a flow rate can't see how to help. :-?

    Blue Dream and white widow 400 wt hps closet grow

    easiest thing is to start flowering your blue dream and put it under the same light with the white widow. it is not ready to harvest, you probably have 4 to 6 weeks left on the widow.
