Water chillers are your best bet. You could also run a sterile res by using pool shock to kill any funky stuff. Number of plants depends on veg time. You can run 6-12 plants depending on the size you flower them at. I you run 12 small plants you can flower them as soon as they pop roots. If you...
You might want to think about running a sterile res. You can make some Clearez really cheap using pool shock. Mix 1 gram per gallon of water. Now add 1 teaspoon of solution for every 5 gallons of water. Do this every 3-4 days as the chlorine will evaporate. Say goodbye to root rot!
That's funny, I was going to say the exact same thing! I can't think of one super strain that came from stabilized genetics. It is true that unstable genetics lead to variety but would it really be all that bad to pop three seeds and have Girl Scout Cookies Thin Mint, GSC Forum Cut, Platinum...
Water temps usually stay around 10 degrees lower than the air temps. Below 68 is best so if you can keep your room below 78 you can usually pull it off.
Bacteria have a hard time surviving cold temps. That's why we have refrigerators (duh). Chillers are an easy but expensive solution to reduce...
Yea, I'll be adding flower time. I'll also be adding a genetics tree for every strain plus a lot more photos too. I'm not sure about adding yield just because veg time decides final yield. If you veg a plant for 6 months in 100 gallon pots you're going to harvest a lot more than a little plants...
A cool room makes everything so much nicer. My current room was getting a little hot the last few weeks. I have A/C but it's at the other side of the house! My living room and kitchen will be freezing fucking cold while the rest of the rooms feel like a sauna! I finally broke down and bought...
The timer is actually not that big of a deal. I've even seen people use those cheap 15on/15off timers. The roots won't dry out in 15 minutes. It takes a couple of hours if not more. Now I'm not saying it's better than a 1on/4off but it's better than nothing.
