    When Should I Switch From Veg To Flower

    They look great. In theory you can veg them indefinitely, it’s up to you when you would like to trigger the flower phase and the only consideration really is if the plant is healthy (got to be in shape for show time) and is it big enough. If you’re happy the plant is healthy and the plant is a...

    Inline fan inside or outside of tent?

    As a space saver you could strap the filter vertical in the top corner of your tent with the connector at the roof outlet and strap the fan to it pointing straight up. Only space you’ll be using is one top corner of your tent which is space rarely used anyway (keep the middle free for lights)...

    Are brand name lights from Alibaba legit or cheap knock offs?

    No offense China, but this isn’t my first rodeo. In the pic attached the vendor claims to be selling a Spider SF 2000 for $124.... so you can appreciate my skepticism. They provide PPFD chart, I’m not sure if it’s the manufacturer data, but if the light delivers what the documentation claims...

    Pro lighting set up

    Yeah I suppose LED or HPS. It seems all lights recommend a hanging height of between 12” and 24” inches, but then when you see a pro set up lights look several feet away from canopy. I’ve attached a random example. I’m just wondering how come in larger gardens lights can be so far away.

    Pro lighting set up

    Just a curiosity thing as I attempt to learn. Can someone explain how / why professional grow lights are so far from canopy? It looks like lights can be 4 to 6 feet from plants in some instances, how is that efficient and what kind of PPFD would these lights put out compared to more standard 1...

    Grow Room Design for new grower.

    Just as a convenience thing, if you shop around you could get an electric hoist for around $60, could be handy to have a switch to lower or raise your lights.

    Exhaust fans as a means of temperature control

    The exhaust pumps the air out the window but the inlet just pulls from my living room which is generally reasonably cool, around 70. I guess the cooler air going in is far more important than the hot air being pulled out, hence my fascination with exhausts being the main tool for temperature...

    The effectiveness of carbon filters.

    Carbon filters are exceptionally effective at odor control (assuming the room is otherwise sealed, such as in a grow tent), just make sure the filter is compatible with the fan you’re using, by that I mean the fan can’t be too strong / powerful for the filter, or the air won’t have enough time...

    Exhaust fans as a means of temperature control

    I’m using an AC infinity 6” fan in a 4 x 4 tent which is a fairly high end fan with probe and controller etc and definitely an overclock for a 4 x 4 as I originally got it as a top end fan for a 5 x 5, I get the importance of an exhaust fan to control odor mainly but secondary as a means to...
