    325 Gal Aquaponic Systems

    This system runs like a fountain.. Each system has a 1000gph pump in the stock tank feeding 8 1/2 irrigation sites.. the flow is pretty low.. the feeders can be moved closer or further from the plants.. depending on their needs.. It's aquaponics... fish poop fed plants, ya know.. the roots...

    You gotta do what you gotta do... cool tubes suck at reflecting, but, they cool a light damn well.

    most of what you are saying here is what I am saying as well.. There is a whole lot of bullshit to dig through here.. so... im not surprised that you missed it. As far as your quality and yield upgrade with the light change.. It is FAR more likely that your improvements were due to a more...

    Do yourself a favor.. go ask an old lady in your neighborhood a thing or two about growing plants.. forget everything you know.. then listen to what the old lady has to say. good luck.

    Once again.. you assume that less is always more.. Again.. a common misconception amongst MJ growers..

    While your condensation bit makes a tiny bit of sense.. I have never run into that problem before.. Pulling outdoor air as low as 10 degrees and as high as 110 degrees... never seen that problem.. There is an extremely simple explanation why condensation has never been an issue.. The fact that...

    Your post tells me that you assume more is always better.. This is a common misconception amongst the average marijuana grower.

    Axial Fans on HID reflector

    I am thinking about rigging up something with a booster fan and a 45deg elbow piece of ducting.. The reflector sort of holds the heat right over the plants.. I think it could be beneficial to blow this air up above the reflector.. I've never tried it before.. there could be unintended...

    Axial Fans on HID reflector

    Has anyone used an axial or booster fan on the flange of an aircooled reflector? I am talking about using no glass.. just putting a fan on the reflector flange to blow the air away from the bulb and sort of stir the warm air around the room, rather than have the heat collect around the bulb. I...

    For so long.. MJ growing has been taken up by those who had the balls to be outlaws.. As you take the outlaw element away.. i think you will see a change in the business of growing mj. Having the balls to do it (and the experience from doing so) soon will not be enough.

    Wow.. Hold on to that gig while you can. As legalization and distribution spreads it should be interesting to see how the biz changes.. Ag will look at it as what it is... a plant that is simple and cheap to produce.
