could I drill small holes (1/4in) near the top of my 10 gallon res on opposite sides, and put a fan blowing air through? would this increase oxygen to the roots? im sure some of you out there have tried this, let me know results

i also have a 10 gallon res, and ive been putting half gallon ziploc bags full of ice into my DWC res, but that thing melts within 20 minutes. Im worried that this will only cool the water for a few hours, before temperatures rise again. At the moment, I dont have a thermometer to measure the...

yea 2x 600 watts will require a lot of cooling. i have a 9000 btu AC cooling my single 600 watt hps, and it struggles to cool the entire room. what made you decide to go with 2x 600watts for a 4x4? I have the same size grow area, but a single 600 watter

you should post this in the hydroponics section, not newbie central. youll most likely get a better more detailed answer there.

with your limited space, I would stick to the 400 watt. its more than enough light to cover 7 square feet. just train your plants to have multiple bud sites, and manage them to have an even canopy 12-16 inches under the 400 watt. unless you plan on at least doubling your grow area, to 16 sq ft...

ok I installed it. everything zips up and the dimensions are correct. still, the frame seems pretty weak. the support beams that were included that go across the top of the tent, are meant to hold fixtures such as a light, filter, fan, etc. too bad the support beams are also very weak, and seem...

you can go to your local hydro to get some product you can spray that will supposedly kill off hermie traits on your plants. i dont know how effective these products are, so use at your own risk. or look up some internet reviews.

link is in the first post. see previous edit

well i ended up getting the 4x4 tent off ebay. it came in today. setup was difficult. their included instructions was 1 page, and 4 pictures. their instructions completely leaves out how to arrange the support wires at the top. quick review: pros: cheap cons: unstable and poor quality. -when I...

I suggest going and reading peoples grow journals. many successful 400w grows have been done. Its easy to mimic their recipe for success. dont be afraid to use the search function of the forum. if this is your first grow, I would advise you to be conservative and safe. the first grow is always a...

advice for next grow: top/LST for more bud sites/larger yield. Im assuming you grew under CFLs, so with some low stress training (LST), you can tie down the main stem and have those lower buds grow straight up into the light, giving you an even canopy. this will allow you to maximize the CFL...

just wondering: the soil bed looks pretty shallow. will it be enough room to grow monster tree roots, or are you planning to transplant later?

if you do do a comparison, please use clones from the same mother, as to rule out phenotypes/genetics for differing growth rates. remember to keep everything else constant, and hopefully you can do 3-4 (9-12 total pots) comparisons of each different pot, to rule out any outliers also, thanks...

before people start making claims to LEDs, a TRUE side by side comparison should be done. ie. a 600w TOP OF THE LINE HPS vs a 600w TOP OF THE LINE LED. multiple batches of clones should be used (of different strains, since one strain may react better to LEDs than another), to remove phenotypes...

has anyone done a comparison or have any experience with air-pots versus smart-pots. smart pots work with the same idea. the roots grow outward towards the side of the pot, which is made of felt (supposedly very breathable for plants). my local hydro shop sells the smart pots, but not the air-pots.

heres how the layout should work for your flower room: Carbon filter (ducting(((() air-cooled hood (more ducting((((() exhaust fan PULLING air through the carbon filter/air-cooled hood, and pushing it out the exhaust vent of your grow tent. however, this only moves the hot air from the grow...

yes, I would get the grow tent for a separate vegging room. you will not be able to veg and flower in a 4x4 closet. if this is your first grow, ill warn you: heat will be an issue. 1400w of lights will put out ALOT of heat. you can either: get a portable/window AC unit or get a cooltube/inline...

I know how you feel. my first grow was with a 400w in a closet. no real cooling. just dealt with the 85+ temps all day. tried to cut every possible corner to save on costs. but now, after I saved up some money, I got a 600w w/cooltube, 4ft 4tube t5, 4x4x7 grow tent, portable AC unit, and a...

after sifting through a few pages of this stuff, Its pretty clear that the OP has made nothing but nonsensical arguments, looking to troll around. sigh, everytime I come across people like him, it makes me even more bitter towards religion, and those who follow it so blindly.

evolution IS proven to be a fact. there is fossil and DNA evidence all over the world to prove this. if you have taken basic college biology or physical anthropology courses, you would know this. look up australopithecine africanus, and other hominids in general, look up Darwins finches. Again...
