yes mate you water with nutes every time in coco its hydro, water till you get 10-20% runoff(some people dont with great results)....use the amounts in the canna grow guide, as a ruff guide(there a little high) start at like 1/4 strength an work up and you may need to lower your A&B when you add the PK(you can run boost at high rate its not a nute)..........Keep a eye on the the leaf tips for sign of nute burn........ And you will soon lern to watch your plant and know if your runnin to high

yo ppl just got an extractor fan, carbon filter, cooltube etc, does the extractor fan have to be screwed into something?? it looks so confusing to install

guess a bit of ducting to fit to cooltube to extractor would help
i have ducting, i mean for example in the instructions of the extractor fan it looks as though the extractor fan has to be drilled into a wall or mounted on to something, can i not just have it all connected by sitting on the floor outside the tent?

everythin inside for me extractor ducting the lot summer is around the corner and air cooled lights are a must if you intend on growing through our summer months easy to set up kana hang your light(s) as much ducting as you need and connect to your extractor making sure there are no kinks in it as you wont get the most from your extractor more ducting from the extractor to a hole were it can be pushed outside lastly hang your carbon filter and connect ducting from there to the light make sure your pulling air through the carbon filter and your light if not it is nt right!!

That's absolutely fine mate, I have mine hanging by string inside the tent. Just remember you want the fan to suck the air through the carbon filter and out the tent, not sucking air out the tent and pushing through the carbon filter. And the longer the ducting run, the less efficient the air turnover will be. Enjoy man :D

mine goes - carbon filter -> fan -> ducting -> light -> ducting-> exit out of tent mate, hope that makes sense, i strap the filter and fan up to the back of the tent then have enough ducting to ba able to lower the light without moving them and enough to run the exhaust out of the tent. i did have it set-up the other way with the filter outside the tent pushing air through it as it left but i found it wasn't as effective at scrubbing the smell

Has your fan got this lead?

That's what mine did and I had to buy a kettle lead for £2.99 off ebay. If not, I can't help you lol.

I bought one of the PK extractor fans. Big fuckers, had to wire it yourself, i think i had issue with there being no clear indicators of +/- so just guessed and it works. Although going back to pissing around in physics at school, unless it's a fancy motor, it'd just switch the direction no? Haha, never gave a damn how they worked, just enjoyed pulling them to pieces for wicked shiny cool things, what more can you want when you're 10 than a couple of magnets and a weird copper shiny thing!
