I have a breaker that is being supplied 110v going to an outlet in my house. I don't want to redo the wiring in order to run 220v. My question is, would it be possible to get a step up transformer that plugs directly into my out and get 220v from there. Once I do that, would I be able to utilize...

I probably will hop on the UC16XXL system, hopefully it is still around this weekend. I emailed the guy today and he still has it.

Whoa! Thanks for the good information and link to a great thread. Much appreciated. I'll probably be spending the next few days going through that entire thread. The C.A.P system found here...

I don't have experience with neither. My last grow I went aero and built my system based off of stinkbuds plans. I never made it to flowering due to poor planning and execution. However I will say, I was vegging 30 plants in my aero unit and they seemed to grow great, just like you mentioned...

I think you're right. I am looking more into this unit and it looks like it is a DWC. Looks like this DWC setup actually conserves alot more space than a 12 site ebb and flo I was looking at...gosh the price tag is high... Is there a prefer method for growing? DWC vs Ebb & flo? Or is that...

Yup I hear you guys. Great advice. I've been reading quite a few journals, I am doing my best to make sure this time around when I get my op up that everything will be up and running accordingly. There have been a few journals that have sparked my interest which is similar to what I wanna do. I...

Yup. 4 separate units that way I can get a yield every 3-4 weeks. I hoping to harvest 1.5 - 2 lbs every harvest. These baby will be under optimum growing conditions and will be fed the best nutrients. Hopefully I can execute everything properly and make this happen. I still got a ways to go...

Yeah it was a dumb question, I kinda answered it myself when I thought about the nutrients requirement for each stage....So I will have get a setup with 4 different units for the different stages. I guess at the price of under 600 for a 12 site unit it's not too bad considering the controller...

Another question that just came to mind.... For a 48 site system, if I am trying to do a 12 x 12 x 12 x 12 rotation, do I need multiple reservoirs and pump/timer controller units? I think for each of the rotational phase, some plants will need to see more floods than others? Say adult plants...

It is my understanding that a flood and drain table does conserve space and gives you the ability to have more plants in a smaller space. But from what I've read, flood and drain tables setups, your plants are sort of limited as to how big they can get? I believe for the bucket system, they have...

I would like to build a system similar to the one shown here. I am sure there are write ups and DIY threads somewhere but I just cannot seem to find them. http://www.hydroponics.net/images/MultiFlow-med.jpg Can anyone help? I am trying to put together a Ebb and Flow system for roughly 40-50...

Ohh...I see your point...I didn't look at it that way. I was thinking I would just cut clones and one plant as a mother plant.

Keep us posted on how it goes? I am also interested in the Alien OG..... This place only sells them as regular seeds....Are "regular seeds" trusty worthy? I never bought seeds before but I am assuming that regular seeds means its the mixture of both male and female seeds? So out of say a pack...

Questioned erased because I now understand it was a very dumb question. Thanks anyways haha

That's good to know. Thanks. So it sounds like 5,000 watts should be more than sufficient for 5lbs harvest. I understand there are other factors/variables that need to be taken into account for but just speaking in terms of lighting, 5k watt sounds like it should be enough.

Could be overkill, but I may also try to run more than just one of these units in a single room. Probably looking at a 10' x 10' x 10' space. Would like to do my best to keep the temp as cool as possible without having to use the A/C unit too often. If the water cool unit isn't a bad choice, I'd...

Anyone else?

I am trying to run the following equipment: Lumatek 1000 watts digital ballast Sun System Magnum XXXL 8" Hortilux HPS 1000 watts bulb. I am looking at roughly $650 (includes shipping & tax). The air cooled lights are only an additional $50 at most. If its worth the bang for the buck than I...

Which of these two would you recommend? The water cooled or air cooled? http://www.greners.com/sun-system-magnum-xxxl-8-air-cooled-reflector.html or http://www.greners.com/water-cooled-mad-scientist-grow-light-package.html The magnum is just the light it self where as the water...

That's what I figured. At my current place, I spend about $150-$160 a month just on utilities. Some of my buddies are closer to $200 a month. These figures are for non growing. Just general everyday consumption. Just wanted to see what everyone else's numbers look like.
