Sup fam, need a little advice. I was using a dtw approach in coco. After my droppers clogged while I was away I decided to go ebb and flow to eliminate the emitter issue again. I have two 20 gallon brute trash cans that I use as rez for my tents. My question is this, will I be able to use these...

Guys does anyone have a purchase point for Gaia Green products here in the US? I've been searching but I can't find anyone. I'm not opposed to making the mix myself but it would be more cost effective if I could get an all in one organic product to feed my ladies. Does anyone have info for...

Would like to thank all my fellow growers here at RIU in advance for the feedback. Background I have mainly been a store bought chemical fertilizer kind of guy. Always in coco coir with perlite 50/50 mix. Most of my products were from General Hydroponics, mainly because of the prices...

Whats up RIU have a couple questions about growing vertical. I see a lot of ppl not running cool tubes with a vertical bulb with their plants practically touching! Some of you guys here were born to grow lol. How does it work? Is it recommended to just use a house fan to cool the light? In my...

Just wondering if anyone is having trouble deciding on a fan? I'm growing in a space that only requires 50cfm. On top of that I'm inside of a 4x4 tent so the cfm requirement is even less. Do I have to go inline fan or can I use a duct fan to vent my 600w HPS and filter?
