    IF you are new to LED and want help choosing what to buy, POST HERE!

    Interesting, did it fix the kernal issue as well?

    smell? help please!

    Yeah, that air would be leaving through the soffit/fascia or other vents which all lead outside.

    smell? help please!

    I just bought another fan/filter today that I just stood up on the ground to use in along with my scrubbed exhaust. It seems to help.

    smell? help please!

    The instructions to my filter says it can have air flow either way. From what I understand they work best with air pulled through them and negative pressure in the tent. In your case I would put the filter in front of the fan coming out of your tent and pull outside tent air through hood so...

    defoliation when in flower

    I appreciate the posts by Uncle Ben and RM3, very informative. I am new have only learned from the web or what the grow shop guys are willing to offer me on knowledge (I was surprised at different opinions from different locations). I've seen some really nice looking plants(photos) that have...

    BEWARE OF AUTOFLOR.ES

    So you can't refund him because the circumstances were in your control, and then you give the customer's name on a public forum. Sounds cool, what was your website again? Maybe if you got more than 18hrs of sleep a week you wouldn't be so ornery.

    Philips contempo floodlight good for growing?

    They are pretty neat and would grow things, but for the money I would steer clear. They look to be a mh/hps core and coil ballast at either 250w/400w depending on model and that will work for horticulture. The issues I see with these units are the directional reflectors(meant to project...

    What differentiates a new grower to an experienced grower?

    I'm a beginner myself, but my observations so far are that every garden has some variables. In order to provide the ideal environment it may take a few cycles to dial it in. I think also experienced growers have accumulated the essential items to provide said environment which beginners may...

    New leaves curling under plant

    You can grow with MG, they aren't tailored to this type of plant and some of the ferts will suit your needs better than others (eg. cactus feed might be good). They typically aren't used due to high npk ratio which makes it easy to burn your plants and the lack of micro-nutrients. The miracle...

    Soil or Coco?

    I'm going to be using tropf blumats. I'm pretty new myself and have only done soil in fabric pots and dwc with coco medium. I'm switching to a gravity drip system drain to waste because I'm trying to eliminate some timers and pumps while keeping the advantage of hydro and not having to water...

    9 weeks into flowering

    It looks like bit of a magnesium deficiency is causing the curling and the yellowing (I'm no expert), your plants looks great though, just hang in there!

    Soil or Coco?

    I like both. In soil you water less often and don't have to feed for the first few weeks. In coco plants have the potential to grow faster (due to increased aeration?), do not need as large as pots and are pest resistant(except fungus gnats). Hand watering I prefer soil, and I like coco for...

    Someone help.. Secret garden?

    Unless you have an insulated cab and intake/exhaust to a different room, it will always sound like a fan. The tents remind me of backpack canvas with mylar glued to the other side, so they do not insulate sound that well. You could put the carbon filter in the tent/cab and run ducting to the...

    77 degrees water temp for DWC.

    The frozen water bottles work pretty well, I have 3 old 1l nutrient bottles I rotate out when my chiller isn't quite cutting it. It's kind of a pain but it is better than 70+ temps that invite rot and pests, but putting bottles in and out also is a risk for contamination (an example would be...

    Puffy 3 fan Leafs all of a sudden

    Let me preface this by saying I am a beginner so I may be wrong. It seems as though there is not enough/locked out cal/mag. The brown spots on the leaf look like calcium deficiency and the up curled leaf looks like magnesium. I've heard only a happy plant will grow 5/7/9/11 leaves fans so if...
