    150 Watt HPS?

    My rotation is similar Gary, except I don't use a tent, I am utilizing my whole shed with walls covered in panda film. But I have 2 flower areas, both 5x5 scrog nets, each scrog net sitting under 600watt HPS, no support lights. I harvest 1 scrog, then roughly a month later I harvest the second...

    DIY: pH Down - EASY!

    I would imagine if you used coca-cola you would want to open it and let it sit for 24 hours to expel all the CO2....which I guess you could open of a bottle of coke a day in your grow area and let the CO2 get soaked up by the leaves

    Urgent help - leaves Corkscrewing :(

    I measure in ppm, but if I am not mistaken 1.4EC is about 980ppm...give or take, I know there is not a direct relationship between EC and ppm, but that's from conversion charts. Anyway I usually just usually make up a huge batch, say 100 litres at a time of just CalMag water with ppm of 300. I...

    First ever grow journal

    Finally got my LED panel out from my old grow area and into this one, using it and the 130watt CFL on the end for the clones tray. The LED panel is one of those 450watt (3watt chipset) Mars Hydro green panels. I bought them to experiment with and run side by side comparison to Blackdog 450watt...

    New digital ballast making high pitch noise?!?

    I apologize, I didn't mean to hijack this thread, but when I saw a 600 bulb in a 1000 watt ballast, I was sort of seeing a problem being I am still on old school ballast knowledge

    New digital ballast making high pitch noise?!?

    good to know the new tech....im on 240v mains in Australia, but as I said in earlier post I can't justify the cost......magnetic 600w ballast = $89-$100 (rebuildable) vs Digital 600w (decent brand, lumatek, solistek, gavita) = $200-$350 (gavita all in one unit $550+) so with their claimed power...

    New digital ballast making high pitch noise?!?

    I am a magnetic core ballast person as my grow area can tolerate the heat and I don't see the $$ payoff in less than 3 years by the actual energy saved from the digital units vs the cost of the units themselves. Plus I have done a bit of monitoring and seems you get a longer life from Magnetic...

    DIY: pH Down - EASY!

    Buy your citric acid in bulk, it is a very useful product for around the home. Other uses besides crafting your own pH down, you can toss it in some cream, let sit, and discard the whey and keep the curd for your own sour cream on your Nachos, or even venture further into non-cultural production...

    I will DIY with the best of people but when you can buy these lids with net pots built into them. I say fuck it, i'm going with convenience: but other than that churchhaze you have just revealed the hidden secret recipe to building a DWC that makes monster plants, shame on you for...

    yield?

    Wonder if their face looks like Sloth from Goonies, with all the Sulphuric acid splash back. That is some seriously hilarious DIY action on that post. What's their next step of DIY, using the Sulphuric Acid to make Nitric Acid and use this to make Nitro Glycerine......can just see it now on the...

    yield?

    mate no one held a gun to your head and told you to do something, everyone was putting in their input from their growing experiences. Your original post was real arrogant and people see that shit on forums and roll their eyes and make smart arse comments. You then became the better man and...

    Urgent help - leaves Corkscrewing :(

    I think we are on different pages here as to what I mean and what you mean...5 out of 5 plants from seeds of different strains are obviously to say that genetics of the strain are not causing the corkscrew effect. Also I was not aware in the 8 years (12 months consistently indoors)I have been...

    Urgent help - leaves Corkscrewing :(

    sorry should have clarified that all the seeds being from a seedbank and from different strains and all at different ages. I assumed the context was there so I didn't clarify If all seeds, and each seed is a different strain and or seed bank then genetics can't really be factored in
