    what size fan and filter should I use?

    I have used a 4" and a 6" in a 2x2 tent and much prefer the 6". More control/options, especially if you get a variac controller "snaps" referred to. In fact the variac controller (like this...

    What's with all the hate on autos..Let's compare.

    People can bash auto's all they like. I couldn't give two sheets. And the word ruderalis is not as negative as some try to make it seem. I switched to autoflowers and have never looked back. Quicker to grow. Which was the number 1 reason I switched. My auto's are as potent or more so than any...

    AutoFlower Conundrum

    Granted, I'm not one for a long cure, though I use the same process each time and this plant was certainly more unique in it's "lacking properties". I believe I will try the fox farms flushing product with my current Diesel Ryder.

    AutoFlower Conundrum

    Not familiar with the huckabee reference, but there is NO WAY I would chuck high potency bud just because it isn't terribly sticky, has low odor or is a little harsh. That would be a complete and utter waste.

    AutoFlower Conundrum

    Personally I would never grow my auto's with 12/12. I found 18/6 worked very well, however, the 24/7 is proving to be a better, faster grow at this early stage. Sure some strains like a little different lighting schedule, however my current "Diesel Ryder" is going to be one extremely hearty...

    AutoFlower Conundrum

    I have an interesting situation. I grow autoflowers in a tent with Ocean Forest/Happy Frog/Perlite/Dolomite Lime and Fox Farms soluable nutes currently under a SolarFlare 200 at 24/7 (I love this light). I've utilized the Pro Grow 180 & 260 as well in the past. They are good lights too. The...

    best led for first time small grow one or two plant

    I have utilized both a Pro Grow 180 and a 260 in a 2x2 tent. And both worked very well. I like their product. Right now I am trying out a Calif Lightworks SolarFlare 200 blooming version for an autoflower. After a slow couple of weeks, "Moby Dick" has been growing very well. Canopy for this...

    Something I highly recommend to new growers.

    I print a calender for each plant. And when harvest time graces me, I sometimes get caught out because those calenders often times look like a 5th grader was doodling.

    fans directly on plant vs fans facing away from plant

    Hype? Not everythng is "only" one way. I prefer to keep an open mind and "DO" what works for me!

    ProGrow 260 in a 3x3x6 Secret Jardin tent.

    You have a good light. I like the progrow product. There is a definite learning curve with led. My next 4x4 tent grow will utilize two 180's and a 260 for auto's. I am highly interested to see how they will perform working in concert. Happy growing.

    Question For Secret Jardin dr60 Setup

    I can say this....I grew a single 5 gallon smart pot in my last 2x2 and that took up the tent. I had three 3 gallon bags previous to that and proved way too many for such a small area. Don't stuff it.

    inline fan noise intake help

    From the audio perspective, please keep in mind that your level of ear sensitivity is higher than that of a passerby. There is a big psych difference between "what is there and making noise" for you and the actual noise level for somebody who happens upon the same area. You can get a leather...

    fans directly on plant vs fans facing away from plant

    I agree with this sound reasoning.

    germinating

    I put my seeds in a folded wet paper towel. Put that on a plate. Stick that inside a sealable plastic bag. Set that on a heating pad in a dark area for (normally) 2 days.

    Ventilation w/ LED

    OK, my setup changed somewhat over the past few days. The above is only if you are running "short ducting & led lights" with a 4" inline. I decided to upgrade to a 6" vortex (Phresh 6x24) while running longer ducting to a bathroom vent with reducer, so it was prudent to go with the next size up.

    Ventilation w/ LED

    I run a 4" vortex inline fan out of a 4x4 with two 180w progrow's. It sucks the life out of the tent. I utilize a variac controller (about $60) with my fan and it gives me total, very smooth control. 100% output has not been needed. The variac has been one of my favorite purchases. Next, I will...

    Secret Jardin Zipper and Cross Bars

    Two questions: I wanted to find out whether anybody has attempted the use of any "substance" on a Secret Jardin tent to help the zipper open/close smoother. Also for those who strengthened their top cross bars, what did you use? Much appreciated.

    LED Companies w/ LINKS

    I have been growing less than a year and my current setup is utilizing two Pro Grow 180w in a 4x4. And a 260w in a 2x2. I will probably move the 260 to the 4x4 as well and dump the 2x2 tent all together. For my current grow I changed my perlite/ff of-ff hf mix to 50/50. Watering was taking up to...
