600 poll.

Whaddya guys think... is it ok to throw my ballast inside my tent to help up the temps? Figured I'd put it on a cinder block or something. Is this a big "no-no"?

I don't know why it'd be a no no. Sounds like a plan to me. It will only help raise the temps during lights on though. ;)

Just wanted to make sure I wasn't posing a gnarly fire hazard by doing so... I'm ok with the night time temps dipping a little bit... temps are 70-72 at canopy though, and I'd like to get them closer to 80 if possible.

also i wanted to post this about water too:
someone from in here told me to use RO water from walmart... well i just read not to use RO or distilled water.

I had already thought this in the past. its best to use Spring water, when bottled. Well controlled Tap/Well is even better than using the completely stripped water according to everything ive been reading.

I happen to stumble upon this when reading up about Chlorine, and even flouride after my visit in here earlier.

when u use RO water you have to supplement with a calcium and mag... they make specific products for this ie cal-mag, magical ect... the reason to use RO water is it gives u the option of had delivering everything the plant needs with out the unessasary shit the comes with the tap water ie floride, chlorine, ect... RO water gives u a 0-5 ppm rating so when u check your ppms after u mix your feed water u know exactly what your plants will be getting..

For anyone wanting to try some simple tried and true supersoil.... This is for you, it has grown some of my finest plants... If you do this in conjunction with a few guano kelp teas here and there you will never turn back.
Its called vicks supersoil. I believe Genuity has given this recipe a go with good results.
I added prices.
1 Bale sunshine mix #2 or promix (3.8 cu ft)~~~~~~~~~~~$36
8 cups Bone Meal - phosphorus source~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$8
4 cups Blood Meal - nitrogen source ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$18 for 8lb bag, you only use half... leftovers!
1 1/3 cups Epsom salts - magnesium source~~~~~~~~~~~~$3
3-4 cups dolomite lime -calcium source & pH buffering~~~~~$10
4 cups kelp meal.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$8
9kg (25 lbs) bag pure worm castings~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$20 for 30lb

- Mix thoroughly, moisten, and let sit 1-2 weeks before use.


Thats $103 for about 5 cubic feet of kick ass soil. This should last you a long time and you can re amend and reuse and it only gets better with time,,, so start soon ;-) and there are leftovers! I add some azomite but thats optional, 2 cups I guess. I also added 2tbl humic acid concentrate to the water wetting it down, also optional.

The tea is optional, but highly suggested even if its only a few times.
The ingredients will last you several grows.

Veg mix-1/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano (PSG)
1/3 cup High N Bat Guano (Mexican)
1/3 cup Earth Worm Castings (EWC)
5 tsp. Maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract
(That makes the "dry mix". You can make all you want and save it to use later.)
Mix with water @ 1 cup of dry mix into 5 gallons of water to make the tea.
To that 5 gallons of tea add:
5 tbs. Liquid Karma
5 tbs. Black Strap Molasses


Flowering nute tea mix:
2/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano
2/3 cup Earth Worm Castings
2/3 cup High P Guano (Indonesian or Jamaican)
5 tsp. Maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract
(That makes the "dry mix". You can make all you want and save it to use later.)
Mix with water @ 2 cups of dry mix into 5 gallons of water to make the tea.
To that 5 gallons of tea add:
5 tbs. Liquid Karma
5 tbs. Black Strap Molasses



I hope some people copy this down, you wont regret it.

Edit: I havnt been using the liquid karma for a while now.

when i need to raise temps 5 degrees or so i will bring the ballast in the room that usually give me a free heat source so i dont have to run a lil space heater... electricity bills get high enough as is lol... efficient and effective with no extra costs...

I got mine in the cab :-) I have plenty of air exchange in there... Obviously dont spray with the light on, but turn off the fans when you do, just incase,, dotn want to get it moist then flip it back on.
