Blue CFLs or better yet, T5s for veg and first 2 weeks of flowering to prevent stretch. Then HPS for flowering for yield and density, even if you only get a 400w and run it w/ the Floros.

So would running several chillers for several reservoirs. You could dial in the temp to be just cold enough for your environment to save on the power. So long as you've got it dialed in, you're going to use the same power(1 watt = 3.41 BTU/hour) to move the heat, regardless of the means...

You're growing in a closet, right? How about just using plastic film and velcro to create a 2nd (lightproof) door? You're going to need to get some ventilation in there anyway. Regardless of what you've ever heard, you will need a fresh air supply and fans to accomplish this if your are going to...

You need to realize that lollypopping is a sacrifice of quantity for quality. You can't cut off pieces of one plant, leave them on the other and expect them to yield the same. Lollypopping is done to focus production to a single cola to eliminate popcorn nugs and reduce time trimming. You only...

So you're going to stick it out with just the LED? That should be interesting. I don't think that anything less than a Procyon has any chance of getting you through flowering. Most LED mfgs at this point are recommending supplementing with other lighting.

ScrOG is a form of LST. LST is generally training without a screen.

There are reasons for using a timer: The optimal timing is dependent on the strain. Some strains originated in wet climates and will fair better with watering more often or vice-versa. That and dramatically increased growth and potential for disaster. Any high quality non-organic chemical...

I'd definitely consider an aero/nft hybrid, like an aeroflo2 or "StinkBud" or "Earl's Space Shuttle". The conversion from a plain NFT to an aero is pretty much a bigger pump, a manifold and some misters. When ran properly, an aero/nft hybrid will outperform an nft.

Nirvana has a reputation for ripping off people from the states. Their genetics aren't anything special anymore, anyway. Go with the attitude. Check out the Greenhouse Variety packs if you want to mix it up!

My best suggestion to you is to chose your genetics carefully. You may want to consider getting a quick crop of autoflowers out of the way to build funds. From there, don't even consider a strain unless it has a short flower time of 6 or less weeks (gigabud and industrial plant are my suggestions).

Sorry for your loss. When I read that you had problems watering in RW, I thought to myself - "Shit, they're going in dirt anyway and that's really hard to fuck up!", but I see you'd figured that out already! Keep it up. I can't wait to see these flower.

Running misters alongside fog can be counterproductive, if you don't do it properly. It seems that unfortunately fog can't provide enough h2o for thirsty mj plants. However, if you run the misters all the time, your roots will become matted and they won't grow the fine hairs that can make use of...

looking pretty good. Are you running a timer? You should be seeing more prolific white hairy roots from a properly ran aero.

Can't wait to see it in action!

I don't think that anything on this planet can grow in pure ethanol.

I haven't built a multi-res chiller. The idea is from a similar project that could easily be adapted. The original was a chest freezer adapted as a single res chiller. I'll give a quick run down and if somebody actually wants to go build one, I'll help you through it: The chest freezer is...

Hi, I don't know of any books, but I spent many hours reading through tutorials and journals on this site. There is a wealth of knowledge here. Store bought systems have their benefits. They are generally very easy and fast to setup. In addition, they have already had the "kinks" worked out of...

I can help, what do you need to know?

Locating your reservoir exterior to the grow chamber is the most effective method. If you can't do that, then insulate the res and all plumbing. All reservoirs should be white, paint them if necessary. If you are using a water pump, run it on a timer. Using a fan will cool it, but will also...
