It appears so far that the winner will be a MPB system. (med patient bucket). A gentleman named DoubleDs got 42+lbs off of 10 plants using this system, and i believe 12 1000w bulbs, so, trees. Here's the link: http://www.thcfarmer.com/forums/f131/doubleds-med-patient-bucket-diy-mpb-buckets-7883/

I've gone both routes on treating root rot, organics and hydrogen peroxide, and I have to say neither of them solved my problem. They put a band-aid on it, and let my sick plants survive, but it wasn't until I solved the underlying problem that I was able to move forward. Your root zone isn't...

My camera is garbage so I haven't been in a rush to get pics, but I'll borrow a cam and take some in the next couple days (promise). I saw quite a large jump myself running the AC from time to time and the pros, my electricity bill went from 18$ a month to 75$ in my condo unit. The only reason...

How did you power these? Did you run a cord through the door or something?

It's an awesome idea, I just wonder how the power would work. If you end up getting this in, I'd love to take a look at how you managed to do it properly. And I agree, I think the airflow in these boxes is good, but the actual plant agitation is very poor.

I had smell issues last crop with the filter on, and the ona block really isn't a solution for anyone in my opinion. It just makes the existing smell have a fruity accent. I even asked my brother who knows I grow if he could smell anything where my AC vents out, and hes like "yup, smells like...

I understand that a 1000w is perfect for a typical 4x4, but wouldn't it be overkill on a Scrog, simply because not much if at all vertical penetration is needed? I figured because all the buds were right at the top a 600 or even a 400 would work.

Awesome, yea I think that's the way to go. Probably do one or two plants under 1 400w each or something like that. shoot for 16 or so smaller lights in each room would be nice, but well have to see. Thanks for the tips, time will tell and plenty of brainstorming involved :D

Thank you once more. I have a good understanding of scrog works, but do you have any suggestions on how to impliment a vegetative room with a screen? Would I do something where I would have a whole seperate set of screens in the veg room, then maybe just wheel them into flower once time to flip...

I was seriously thinking about scrog as well, and I think it would work well with each plant in its own 5 gallon paint bucket, or perhaps something even larger. Anyone have any experience in using scrog vs just growing trees? I've seen some really nice tree type grows using vertical hanging...

Ok so, I have two extra air pumps, both dual diaphragm in addition to my original producer, for a total of 8 air stones. I have them both sitting on an elevated stool behind my producer to keep them above water level, to reduce backpressure and to prevent water siphoning if the pumps or power...

Hey guys, I'm a semi-experienced DWC farmer who may or may not become legal soon. If so, i'm looking for some advice on the best way to make the most of a given plant count (probably somewhere in the neighbourhood of 25-50). My knee-jerk plan is to grow trees, and split the count in half for a...

Hey buddy, Well, I don't live in cali, I live in BC so the temps aren't *too* bad here. I just have a portable 7000 BTU AC unit in the same room as my producer. No fancy ducting, just the hot air going out of the room. I also have each of the lights ducted out of my room via dryer ducts...

As the poster above said, keep to mid to late 60s if you can. Remember: higher temps simply mean that you need to deliver more agitation to your water. If this chiller doesn't work, replace it with another air pump! :) Take better pictures of where the chiller is installed... and did you buy...

Anyone who might be interested, check out my sig for the link to my next grow!

Back at it again. Couple things to mention: I'm a little late starting this journal, still haven't bothered to invest in a decent camera, and I have a tough time posting journal entries with crappy picture quality. Anyways, this journal starts in the middle of the first week of flowering. I...

Again, the nutes thing is something you simply have to try for yourself. Noone will agree on what nutes are the best, that's why there are so many of them still selling today. I strongly recommend at the very least, the base nutrients that come with the box, and a PK booster such as 'big bud'...

I do need a portable AC unit. I mentioned before I might be able to get away with not using one because of the new air to the roots, and i think this is true, but the AC also serves as a bit of a de-humidifier by its function as you're aware, so I'll be keeping mine on. I bought a humidity...

Advanced nutrients has a good base nutrient line, and will work very well in a nutrient-free soil such as sunshine mix. I use it in hydro, but I know many people who use AN in sunshine mix with great results. Stick to their base nutrients, and maybe consider big bud. Those two alone will get you...

The producer comes with a nute schedule, use that. I don't know what nutrients to use, which is why I'm trying new things, and seeing how it goes. Gains from nutrients are totally eclipsed by proper plant care. Learn how to manage your humidity, light exposure, and Co2, and itll beat the shit...
