    Smart Metre Trouble

    no, that is over the lifetime of the meter. what u have to do is look at ur bill, it will give u a date on when ur meter was read and what it said and also the meter reading before that and what it said. your actual power usage is the difference between the two readings. in other words if u...

    DWC Nutrient/additive/stimulant recommendations?

    I use gh 3 part nutrients. Been using since 2005 although I am thinking of switching to other two parter. I'm getting tired of all the mixing. Stimulants? The only one I'm using is kool-bloom during flower. It seems to work well but really I got the same size buds using a lil molasses during the...

    SCROG screen too crowded ? Recommendations please.

    Yeah i would trim all the underbrush completely, bare it all. I only let them fill 50% of the screen depending on strain. They are going to take off when you flower and fill the rest. I also only use two plants per screen and let them fill in (my screens are 4x3 and 3x3).

    Highschool cliche

    Crazy... I was in HS from 81-85. I was a jock and a stoner. I went to school in Oregon so we had like a shitload of people who got hammered on a daily basis and still kept up a 3.5 gpa. Had a lot of fun, smoked a lot of primo bud back then. Always had love for the grow though. Tried it in...

    little white hairs any buds?

    dude how far do you have the light away from the plants? I would have said cfl also because they are so thin and stretchy looking. I only use 400 watters and even my bag seed nodes are way closer. Do you have an air cooled hood with a fan attached? This will do wonders for the distance you...

    4,000 watts with no master lighting controller?

    oh and by the way even though the range and dryer are on 240 volts, if i can show you how to break those down to 50 and 30 amps of usable 120 volt power. Cost you about 75 to 100 dollars max depending on what else your looking for. And screw the lighting relays, you can use a commercial timer...

    4,000 watts with no master lighting controller?

    most extension cords are rated for 15 amps, although you really dont want to push more than 12 amps thru them (80%) which would be the equivalent to 1440 watts. Really folks those running high wattage thru one circuit are heading for danger it may not trip on you because of a faulty breaker...

    HELP!! ph problem???

    i agree with 2 tigers heat stress, i cant speak on the overwatering cuz ive always done dwc so ive never seen overwater type of stress. You may be a tad out of bounds on ph but believe me they would be a lot more orange if ur ph is way out of whack. mostly because u would be a nutrient...

    4,000 watts with no master lighting controller?

    Also do it cheaper dude. You're going to need a 50 amp circuit or pull two 15ampa and and a 20 if ur going to break it down to 120v circuits.. You can use a disconnect or a sub panel for the extra breakers. Wire a commercial timer like they use to turn on outdoor lights for restaurants. DIY it...

    4,000 watts with no master lighting controller?

    It really sucks that I actually went to school to be a certified electrician and worked in the industry for a few years and could do stuff like this for people easy and for cheap but its kinda hard to say " hey, I'll wire ur grow room for you" without looking like the po-po. Lol

    Why, exactly 12/12?

    its not the hours of light but the hours of darkness that the plant is receptive to. Do sum research on it. there are many people who have there lights onfor 14 hours but still give them 12-13 hours of darkness. some plants will stress but some are receptive.

    Need input on a perpetual closet grow method please

    scrog is the way to go dude. split your screens into 2, 2x4 foot sections. still open of course. in one closet split it vertically. use the top split and make it your veggie chamber. use flouros or cfls to keep the heat @ minimum. now as u take clones in each screen space them out 2 weeks...
