    What nutrients do you use?

    I use GH Micro and Bloom and epsom salts. Been thinking about adding the Floralicious, Flora Blens and Kool Bloom. Any comments on those would also be appreciated.

    trouble with ezclone machine

    I don't use an aero clonner, I do however use a crude homemade bubble clonner with homemade neoprene disks. I just use tap water right out of the faucet (ph is between 7.7-8.2) I don't use any rooting hormone, and I take my cuttings with my trimming scissors. Cut 'em, put them in their disks...

    Building own 220v distribution panel (is this safe??)

    Just get a small sub panel, a dryer plug/cable, some romex and outlets. Typically a dryer plug will have a black, red, white wire in them. The sub panel will have 2 main bus bar connections (hook red to one, black to other) and a neutral bar, basically a bar hooked to nothing (hook white to...

    How to wire 70w hps Lowes bought...

    The Lowes site is down right now. You have it wired correctly, according to your post. Does it by chance have a photocell? A lot of security lights do. If so, cover it.

    375w cfl vs 400w hps

    He said passive intakes, so the fans are on the exhaust for the very reason you mention (no positive pressure). In this case you DO want your intakes greater than or equal to the exhaust. Jay, sorry about your post turning into a pissing contest, preferably everyone will give their opinion...

    375w cfl vs 400w hps

    I think that 78 is on the upper limit of flowering temp. I also prefer lights off temps in the mid-upper 60's. YMMV edit: I guess it's unclear on if the grow room is 78 or the top of the canopy. My canopy top is about 4-5 deg warmer than the grow room temp. Higher temps not so bad during...

    Ready for nutes?

    when the tips begin to brown, then they're starting to burn from the nutes. Beware, this is potentially a very similar characteristic to light burn. Monitor the temp at the top of the plants, better to error on keeping the light too far than too close. Best to get a TDS meter. Actual TDS...

    375w cfl vs 400w hps

    If you're running hot with cfl's, you'll cook them with hps. even a 250. Your intake and exhaust sizes should at least be equal, if not bigger on the intake side. I got 450 watts of cfl's in a small unventilated cloning chamber that runs at 78-80, and a 4 x larger area with dual 4" fans up...
