    600w or 1000w hps

    If you can cool it, and afford it - always go 1000w!

    humidity??

    Plants wont die, but they will struggle if your temps are 80+ and the humidity is 30% - espesh when they are young. Tbh, low humidity is so easily fixed it's worth doing so - just buy a cheap humidifier for like 15 bucks and hang some wet towels in your grow room and you'll be at 60%+ no problemo

    WTF ? air temp is 77 res. temp is 90 help

    guaranteed it's the air pump pushing hot air into your res - mine does exactly the same. I spent ages researching this, messed about with frozen water bottles, looked up loads of cheap diy chillers etc. but in the end i just bought an aquarium chiller for 130 quid off ebay. It saves so much...

    Little Seedling!

    I'd recommend going 20/4 if you're using CFLs. I read a post on another forum where a guy tested all the photoperiods and found 20/4 to be the best. People go 18/6 mostly to save money, and that wont affect you as CFLs are much cheaper to run than HID

    1000w hps vs 1000w mh for veg

    get a mh - it will give you denser plants with closer node spacing

    airstone noise?

    I have my air pump sitting on a cushion, this has helped dramatically. If you've got the time n money you could sound proof your cabinet with acoustic foam (pretty cheap off ebay). Search in the grow room design forum mate, that's a whole massive thread there dedicated to sound insulation

    250 HPS MH Better then CFL?

    imo, always take the HID lights over CFL mate - you just cant compare the two when it comes to light intensity + penetration. if you're gonna invest in a cooltube mate, get a 400w lamp instead, or even a 600w if you get a strong enough fan. It's defo possible in that space.

    resevoir temps for bubble ponics?

    Ideal temps is 68F as this contains high amounts of dissolved oxygen and is low enough to stop many types of algae growing. However anything up to around 75F is ok. Put aluminum duct tape over your rez, this will help reflect away heat. It's also worth raising the rez off the ground with a few...

    Shroom Dose = LSD dose

    just take a tab mate see how you feel after that. there are a lot of misconceptions surrounding acid trips... you will not see giant pink bunny rabbits running about or anything like that. You'll get a nice rush that will last for a few hours, along with the urge to laugh at silly things and...

    Desperately need help cooling my growdrobe

    Hey all, thanks so much for the help. I ended up I putting the cooltube in a closed ventilation circuit and used the smaller fan to extract grow room air and that has helped dramatically. Mikeohle and Darkuser were right, my thermometers were absorbing the radiant heat, when I shaded the...

    About to start

    Seedlings are fine under a 400hps (consider getting a metal halide if you have 20 bucks lying about). Just make sure you start them off with the light at least three feet away and move it down a couple of inches a day till they are used to it. There is some debate over which lighting schedule is...
