    Metal grow cabinet shocks while HPS is starting up.

    "I forgot to add in my original post that the light is not grounded. It came with a three wire plug, but the ground was cut off to fit into the ungrounded timer" Rewire it with a ground, splurge on a 15$ grounded plug from walmart. I would bet my left testicle that is the problem

    Can the fuzz catch a 400w lamp?

    Digital meters can. Old school can't. If you are really worried look up a usage calculator online. You will see that an electric water heater or base heater will use 4-10x the electricity of a 400w being left on 24/7.

    Hard Time Cloning

    Stole the snake rock from this guy. Still got his heat light. Really made a difference on my clones, made the water in the tray warm instead of cool to the touch. I also went out and bought some transplant/cutting ferts. It's basically just a light fert mix with the same active ingredient as the...

    24/0 or 18/6?

    Would males not be already determined once the seeds sprout? I think perhaps one could find a correlation to hermies but I still have yet to see it. Everytime this arguement comes up I hear a lot of people saying that in nature the sun isn't on 24/7 and that we should mimick nature. However the...

    24/7 on straight to outdoors w/budporn

    "that top looked more sugary i the pick" First few days of drying it was sparkly sugary. After about a week everything went really amber and less vibrant. Real smooth tho. Gotta love that -40 weather for keeping things nice and cold while flowering.

    Re-re-veg Upgrading from Rubbermaid Setup to 400W MH/HPS Custom Cabinet Must See!!!

    I mount my lights horizontally with a batwing in a very similar cabinet setup. When I look at the light from the bottom (in indent at the bottom) it is no where near as bright as looking at it from the side. My hps blinds me from the side but is quite tolerable from the bottom (indent nipple...

    24/0 or 18/6?

    am a few grows in and I have found that 24/0 veg light cycle (or lack there of) seem to benefit my situation. I really do notice much more rapid growth, and although my ballast is on all the time it can't possibly be getting any hotter then if on for 18 hours. Plus sometimes it has failed when...

    24/7 on straight to outdoors w/budporn

    ya 27/0 was a typo I corrected. And ya i wanna know if I should boot em out from a 24/0 environment. I keep mothers and clones in the room so I am worried messing with the light cycle half way through growth could stress the plants.

    traffic choppers?

    I was picking my buddy up from jail (AKA the drunkard tank) and they had some pamphlets in the office. We have a fly school up where I live and the pamphlets were giving advice to pilots on spotting grow ops so they could report them to the police. My suggestion, find such pamphlets, websites...
