    Cool my dry room without venting or AC?

    It's not a room that can be flowered in because it has no AC or lights. It's an empty room that I would like to turn in to a dry room so I can save time in my flower room.

    Cool my dry room without venting or AC?

    I have an extra room that could be used as a dry room, but don't have the available power to add an air conditioner. The dehumidifer will generate X btu's of heat, so I need to find a way to cool it for 7-8 days while the harvest is drying. Does anyone know of any good "redneck" type of...

    closed growing environment question (CGE)

    You can find some units that are sold as DIY kits. Frostbox and Excel Air sell these types of systems, but you will need an electrician to wire it up. You should find a trustworthy HVAC guy and start building a relationship. I think most HVAC contractors also know the necessary electrical to...

    what can I do to grow atleast 3 pounds of dry bud in a 5x5 area with 1000 watt light

    Vertical Bulb - I think you could get 3 lbs with a stadium style grow. It's simple math. Build shelving around the room and calculate how many ounces you will get from each plant. 3 lbs is 48 ounces, so if you can get 50 plants in there about 16 inches tall, you should be able to pull atleast...

    Build a divider wall and put a dual zone mini split AC (24K btu flower and 12K btu veg) in that room with 4,000 watts for flower and 2,000 watts for veg. So a total of 6 1000 watt fixtures. With this setup, you will harvest 2 lights per month, for a total of 4 lbs per month. Always clone off...

    Help with setup

    Your question is too open and would take too long for someone to answer. I would sell your T5's and get more HPS for flowering. This is more of a business than a hobby, so you should inventory all of the items you have and think about this like a business. You basically can create a...

    Large Grow Room Designs!

    In order for you to harvest 6 lbs per month guaranteed, you only need to run a total of 27 Lights (if you harvest 1 lb per light). 3 Lights for veg and 24 lights flowering. You'll probably harvest 9-12 lbs depending on your growing skills, harvest 6 lights every 2 weeks. This can be...

    You're flow setting is too high, so it's freezing over. You should set your regulator at the 5 mark.

    Water cooled lights and chillers for grow room?

    You will have to do a cost benefit analysis to determine the lowest cost way to cool your garden. I've done some research on this, but in the end it seemed like a pain in the ass and I really don't like the idea of water lines coming close to anything electrical, it's simply not the safest...

    ---A/C HELP for 4x8 Flower Tent---

    If odor control is a concern, then air conditioner type is very important. There are 2 types of air conditioners. One type spits the air from the room outside and the other type doesn't. Regardless of what type of AC you're looking at, this is the MOST important aspect of AC, if odor is a...

    Just give them a good flush with at least 300% run off. Use a flushing agent like Clearex...let it run for 24 hours, then go back to the regular nutrient program. Usually, depending on how heavy you feed, you should incorporate a regular flushing to avoid this type of thing in the future...

    Trying different methods for best yield

    I think the sweet spot is 1 per square foot with a 2-4 week veg, depending on strain and training techniques. So that's 16 plants per 1k. This question is usually answered by which medical state you are in, due to legal plant count limits per patient. But generally speaking, I believe that a...

    Insulated Garage Grow 15 x 20

    1. Make sure you create a filter box at the end of your duct, so that all the air entering your attic will be odor free. Ducting and light fixtures have small cracks, which is a security risk. 2. The air conditioners that you own, do they have a separate intake and exhaust duct? If they do...
