    co2 in water?

    The CO2 needs to be airborne it is for photosynthesis. I have re-purposed my aquarium CO2 setup it's in my grow room now. I can't speak to the results as this is the first time I try it, i think me levels are quite low and possibly not helping that much. Cheers, Silverserf

    They both measure the same thing. Like meters and feet. You measure the EC then use a formula to convert it to PPM. The formula may vary from meter to meter but it's pretty close. The testers do the conversion for you.

    HI Bern, As far as i know EC is just another scale to measure PPM on. My meter is in PPM so i don't use EC. It's like metric and imperial. For PPM there should be a chart on the bottle of nutrients I would start with what the chart says divided by 2 . My ppm is around 450-500 in full flower...

    Hidden room

    Fukin'A man I love the hidden room idea. I wish my door was better, it's definitely the hardest part. This is the best info I found while researching the subject...i guess it's all about the hinges. http://design.stickboykitchen.com/guide-to-hidden-door-hinges/ Love to see some pics of what...

    Best set up.

    I agree with loftygoals. I think less plants also it's going to be too crowded and more work for nothing. You could always get a dimmable ballast then if 600/1000 was too much you could turn it down. Cheers, SilverSerf

    DIY stealth cabinet grow...powering PC fan controller?

    I think it would be nice if you could use the controller but it's going to make it much more complicated. Based on the wires you are going to need a motherboard to power the USB ports, and a 12v PSU to run the fans. If you had a PC to dedicate to growing....it might work. What I would do is...

    Too much nutrient?

    I would say yes, but not too big a deal. I don't do a lot with soil but I think you should flush it with clean water and then just wait. Plant that size shouldn't need any supplements. The hardest part is the waiting. And with fertilizer, less it more. Cheers, SilverSerf

    Dwc First grow: plant is droopy need help ASAP

    I don't really have any type of messenger...but you can send me messages here. If you do go from soil to hydro again you also want to make sure that you start with very low nutrient levels and work you way up. The flora series is nice, natural and all in one. Cheers, Silverserf

    What is needed besides nute line to run dwc?

    What are the planned dimensions of the grow box? Height is always a huge factor and it's a pain in the ass trying to service a DWC system when it's in a box. Where did you score those fans? Cheers, Silverserf

    Dwc First grow: plant is droopy need help ASAP

    She is looking real bad. I'm not sure that it will recover but she a fair size so there is a chance. You will know in a day or two. I think that you should make sure that your environment is setup right, proper nutrient levels etc. to avoid having this happen again. I can tell you for sure...

    1 plant dwc scrog

    I hear ya, why do more work...I have two strains though so I guess 4 buckets would be good. Just in case, I don't like letting a strain get down to one plant. I take clones right before switching to flower to keep my perpetual grow going. I ran out of smoke and had to buy some the other day, it...

    1 plant dwc scrog

    Looking seriously good dude. I'm jealous...she's under a 250W HPS? I saw that you were getting a 600W, mine just showed up this week. I'm so stoked to get it going, just have to wait for current grow to finish. How many plants were you planning to put under yours at a time? I'm thinking 4-6...

    Carbon filter not working...

    I had the linen liquid once, worked pretty good. It doesn't smell out of the ordinary for a basement. Never tried any of the other scents. Cheers, Silverserf

    Never changing the reservoir

    I don't change my res unless there is a problem like a bad smell. I keep it topped up with fresh water and monitor the salts with PPM meter and add nutes as required. Been using the flora nova series from GH I reminds me of the shampoo salesman who met the advertising executive. He was...

    Carbon filter not working...

    Well it sucks that the cheap filter didn't work very well. I'm due to replace mine soon, guess i'll stick with the expensive ones. I have a Mountain Air filter is was expensive but has been working great for over 5 years now. If you are going to keep both of them you could hook up the cheap...

    Is there such a thing as too much air in a DWC grow?

    If looked at those myself, thought they looked good but was worried it would be loud. What is the noise from that puppy like? and how many buckets or tubs are you able to run off of it? Cheers, Silverserf

    2nd Crop of NYPD

    Ya I know what you mean, just added 2 strains recently because of that. It's a lot more complicated keeping everything organized but it's worth it. ;) I found that you can vary it a little but changing flowering time, 8wks , then 10, then 8, then 10. Sort of thing, going to depend on the...

    Fungus Knats

    Best thing i've found are thoses mosquito pucks, crumble some onto top of dirt and and or add some to rez. it's a natural way to get rid of them. It's some kind of nematoad that the larvae eat, then it eats it's way out of them...die f&*^s. Theses bastards have been my worst problem all along...

    2nd Crop of NYPD

    My Blue Skunk strain all started with one female, about 3 years ago. Must be on about the 10th gen by now and I notice no difference other than how long I let them flower. If anything she's improved, my last harvest was the best one yet yield wise. If you think about it, it's a genetically...
