    grow tent question

    I've got a couple 600d cheap ebay tents and to be honest the biggest difference in quality is in the zippers. One works great, the other not so much (to put it mildly)

    Carbon filter Re-activation

    I'd read you need to bring it a lot hotter than that (need a kiln to do it), but if that's all it takes I'm all over that. Edit-I'm sure that would stink up your house pretty good though so you might want to try it somewhere other than your grow.

    How much did your first grow yield?

    First grow? nothing really, I killed them bitches with root rot, deficiencies, and overfeeding (I thought deficiency meant give it more nutes-lol). I quickly learned after that though.

    Bought a chiller, 2 air pumps, And still having root issues

    For me the pondzyme by itself never worked that great, but pondzyme+aquashield=winner (was able to stop brewing EWC tea all the time with that combo)

    Does anyone actually know the point of diminishing returns for LED umoles?

    Great question, I'd also like to know if that point goes up (and by how much) when adding co2. On the flip side, what is the minimum amount of umoles to shoot for (out at the edges of your canopy) to still get good growth and flowering response?

    1000w CFL grow?

    Baaaahahahahahahaha!! Sorry, just had to get that out of my system. Dude, if you've got the hps you might as well use it. There's a reason cfl growers usually "upgrade" to hps instead of the other way around.

    Debating on LED or HPS

    Yeah, I'm replacing 2 1k's and was thinking 6 xgs's vs 2 at600's, but now I'm thinking 8 xgs's vs the 2 at600's. A51 is coming out with a bigger light in a couple months to cover a 4x4 area too so I'm probably gunna wait and see what the specs are on that before I make my final decision (along...

    Who is using Inda-Gro lights or induction lights?

    In case nobody's mentioned it, they have several Indagro threads in the led subforum you might want to have a look at.

    cultivation charges

    Knowing the way cops operate I'm sure they'll weigh all the plants, whole plant roots and all, and use that overexagerated weight for the possession charge (and then say it has a "street value" of 1.5 million) Edit: they like felony busts, and if the cultivation charge isn't, then I'm sure...

    Debating on LED or HPS

    LED's have come a long ways since they where using panels full of 1 watt chipsl I'm actually going to be going from 1000w HPS lights to led's soon and after doing a lot of reading and comparing there are only 2 companies I'm even considering, Area 51 and Apache Tech. Still haven't decided who...

    LED Companies w/ LINKS

    Owellian, since your comparing a bunch of panels in the 200 watt range, what made you decide to use the 400w California Light Works instead of the 200w model? Wouldn't it be a better comparison if you kept the wattages of the panels as close as you can, or do they overstate there wattage and...

    The Dawgs 1lb Grow Under 300 Watts Of Led

    Thanks for the detailed response Dawg. I'm still playing bystander and seeing how good they're performing in real life before I make up my mind who I'm going to go with, but I'd definitely like to have my tent decked out in led by the end of March. Oh, and FYI on the 14 and 50 degree Apache...

    Anyone familiar with using AquaShield .....

    Put them over the sink and use a sprayer to rinse as much of the slime off as you can. Get some pondzyme and use the pondzyme and aquashield together, this might do the trick itself, but brew some Heisenburg tea anyway and use that as soon as it's ready. The tea takes a couple days to brew, but...

    help finding quiet extraction??

    Three things used in combination work great for me - hang from bungies to eliminate vibration, use insulated ducting, and get a bigger fan than you need and dial it down with a speed controller. I use the cheapo inlines and they're pretty quiet doing it that way. If you wanna really go stealth...

    How often do you calibrate your ph and tds pens?

    My ph pen started floating around a lot, so now I have an easy system. I have 2 shot glasses filled half way with calibration fluid , one with ph4 and one with ph7. I store my pen sitting in the ph4, turn it on and make sure it reads good before I even take it out. Then I wipe it off with a...

    Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

    I just seen this thread made stickie status and wanted to say congrats SB. I spent weeks reading this thing back when I was just starting out and learned a ton. I even bought some sprayers and recycle timers that are still gathering dust because I never made it to aero/ntf like I originally...

    The Dawgs 1lb Grow Under 300 Watts Of Led

    Hey Dawg, lovin what you got going on here. I've been keeping my eye on the led section here for some time to see when it would start making sense to switch out my 1k's, and now it's pretty obvious that A51 and Apache are doing it right and it's time for me to make the switch. Which brings me to...

    Flowering with Cree bulbs

    They're both 3x3's, I've got a couple old 90 watt ufo's in the mother tent and they're doing ok but would like to at least add a few in there with them if not replace them completely. I'm vegging under an 8 bulb t5 at the moment in another room (won't fit in the tent) but only need to cover...
