That doesn't always do it. It's amazing how inarticulate some people can be.

I just wanted to add here, in respect to seeds/cuttings, I am also getting ready to build out a small warehouse grow, and I would not let cuttings/clones from somewhere else get anywhere near that warehouse. The smart thing to do is grow from seed and select the mothers yourself. Can you...

I would say 10 HLG 550s is the minimum for 144sqft, but if you are supplementing with CO2, you're going to want more light than that even. I am currently building out a small warehouse, and in order to cut costs, we are ordering the equivalent of the HLG 550 from Kingbrite on Alibaba. They are...

For that space, I would buy a 4-pack of HLG QB132 quantum boards in 3000k or 3500k ($110), and power them with the HLG-240H-36A driver ($45). If you add in wiring, ratchet hangers, & 3/4 inch aluminum angle, it'll be about $175. That's pretty cheap for top-of-the-line "best quality you can get"...

Also, you can totally be successful using three of those systems in a warehouse. There's a reason why current culture makes those 32 pot systems. It's because they work. Just because you're going to have three of them instead of one doesn't mean they won't work anymore. I like your plan on...

I don't think so, but, even if they did, all you have to do is lift the lid up and clear it, very easily. Much easier than clearing a clog in the pipes.

This is what I don't understand. You said you were running a sealed room, but then you talk about exhausting the room through a carbon filter. At first, I assumed that you were going to have a sealed room and you would have air-cooled lights where the intake is coming from outside of the tent...

In respect to the roots clogging the pipes in rdwc systems, I've been looking at these. You could attach these to the inside of the bucket portion of the bulkheads and conceivably not have to worry about the roots growing into the pipes...

The best, cheapest thing to do wpuld be to buy two 4-packs of QB132 boards from HLG (each 4 pack is $109 if you get them with the LM561C diodes, or $132 if you get them with LM301B diodes). I would get them in 3000k or 3500k. So, that is $218. Then power them with the HLG-480H-36A driver ($115).

Hey folks, hope everyone's grows are going well! I decided to post my DIY intake filter because I think it's awesome, and it can save you a lot of money. While I was in the market for an intake filter, I realized how outrageously expensive they all are. So, I decided to make my own for $28...

Dust shrooms are great but they are expensive. All ready made intake filters are SO expensive. I made my own killer intake filter like this. I bought an 8" x 8" to 6" square to round register from Home Depot for $12...

I couldn't agree more!!! Glad you said this. I've been thinking the exact same thing for the past few weeks looking for trays.

Respectfully, I think a major source of the confusion is the fact that you don't use periods at all when you write, so it's all one long sentence. That makes it very difficult for people to categorize and extrapolate what you are trying to say. Not so much in this last post, but the initial...

I posted a similar question on a thread in another forum recently. If you look at the picture I've attached, the majority of people thought I should go with the second diagram. Which for you would be the first option you typed.
