You should get 1 to 1.5 lbs...

    In hydro

    Use larger ones next time but the 3-inch netpot can pretty much accommodate a 6-foot plant and its roots.

    My first scrog attempt

    It always surprises me that so many new to grow folks say I didn't expect.... or this is taking longer than i expected. One of your greatest chances at having a good grow is to do diligent research on any strain you haven't grown. Every new strain I grow I not only take the time while...

    Controlling exhaust fan, two controllers?

    No brother thats not how electricity works. In a parallel system which that would be your voltage would stay the same but your amperage would increase and you would have to size the wire and breaker accordingly. In other words if you have one 120 pulling 3 amps and another 120 pulling 6 amps...

    Needing Some Insight on 1st Grow

    That's a good looking setup but have you tried it in a tent? It looks like a two-man job for a res change with that once the plant becomes large and heavy. Maybe add a pulley system to it to make it a single man job?

    4K sealed room design

    A one ton is 12k btus. so your telling him to run a ton and a half for a 144 sq ft room? A ton will easily cool or heat a 500 sq ft space. You are trying to have him seriously oversize the unit. 144 sq ft could be done with a 5k btu and the upsize would be a 7 to 9k. As long as humidity in...

    4K sealed room design

    Ok. I can’t comment on the lights as I use two 1k watt digital ballasts for an 8x4 tent. But as for heat and cool get a 9k or 1 ton mini split with heat. That will keep a 12 x12 cool or warm. A drip system should be no problem. Are you buying one or building one. I built a 25 plant...

    Supplemental lighting?

    Spend your money on a larger hood. That 600 is enough for a 4x4. Get a cool tube or a large regular air cooled hood. Definitely cheaper shop lighting of any kind. New growers some times over think it. Don’t waste your cash if you don’t need to.

    Needing Some Insight on 1st Grow

    I don’t know bro. I think December is the friendliest of the hydro set ups. No pumps to monitor like ebb and flow no emitters to clog like drip or aero. The problem that people don’t think about with decent is two fold. One if you scrog you need to make an extra hole in the tank and get a...

    Grow Room Ventilation WITH DRAWING - PLZ HELP !!

    Passive air intake. Size the hole at 125 percent of the exhaust hole ie an 8 inch exhaust requires a 10 inch intake. You will need to run a little flexible duct across the room on the intake so the exhaust fan won’t pull directly from the intake if the holes are close together. Good luck

    Controlling exhaust fan, two controllers?

    Think outside the box brotha. You can use a normal household thermostat an ac transformer for the low voltage and a 6 pin relay. The relay allows one high voltage at a time so if the t stat signals it’s too hot it will flip the relay and turn the the fan on other than. That it will run on a...

    Why is my smell not as strong

    I rotate bulbs out on each run. I have a lux meter and I measure at the beginning middle and end of each run when they get to a certain degradation I chuck them completely. The space with the lights is actually ok, although I am going to add an extra 600 on the next run to get the shadows out...

    Feeding late in flower

    If your growing hydro yhen i would say yes. I only grow hydro and staryed flushing this last year and with a good dry and cure the smoke is extremely smooth compared to what i was getting. Also keeping your nutrients to maximum 1200ppms is a good thing

    Lumens, Lux, and Adding It all Up

    Understanding you want to save cash through your energy output. I normally up my output at the beginninh of 12 12. I would think as long as you got the correct output per sq foot and your only uppjng the light for thicker buds the latest you would want to turn her up is at the 4th week.

    Why is my smell not as strong

    The problem was i tripled the plants but did not up the feeding regimen. Imagine this, you have 5 plants in a drip/nft system on a 10 gallon res. They do great. They drink the reservoir down in 5 days and go on the last two days with ph'd water. For some reason i figured they would drink it...

    Why is my smell not as strong

    I use nirvana seeds. I never had a quality problem before with them so i dont think i will experience any problems this time. I just wanted to try a larger run as i never go over 5.

    Why is my smell not as strong

    In actuality lymens do matter. I dont worry about par or specteum becausr i usr hid lights they are cirrect in both. Lumens tell me the intensity of the light and will it penetrate my canopy. This is the first run where i dis not cull the undergrowth. I wanted to see firsthand hiw deep they...

    Why is my smell not as strong

    You can put the production in overdrive by using calmag, going to an aggressive formula on your bloom (I cut out into at week 4 and almost double my bloom Nutella keep same nitro though). The last 3 days is straight water and I turn my lights off completely some folks I know turn the lights...

    Why is my smell not as strong

    Wattage is not based on plants but square footage. I have 27 Sq feet and am putting out 180000 lumens. That's 6700 lumens per square foot. You need a minimum 3k per square foot so I'm more than double that. By Wattage per square foot it's 50 watts per square foot not 300. That's why the...
