It's not illegal to use 6kw of energy. It's not illegal to have an indoor hydroponic garden with lights, heaters, AC, pumps, etc. Even if they can prove you are using a lot of energy on a hydroponic garden they still cannot do ANYTHING unless they can prove you are growing marijuana. You...

I was a Lowes a while back and they had a filter made specifically for a house furnace with a layer of "active carbon". I found it where they keep all of the other heppa filters and such. It was somewhere between $10 and $15. I purchased one and stuck the active carbon piece (it was about...

how much water will the system need? 18 gallon+ reservoir for every 10 plants. how long does the pump run? Cycle timer - 1 min on and 5 minuets off cycle. People have had success with other times like 1on/4off and 15on/15off. will i also need a air pump? I believe an air pump is not...

I run the pumps 1 min on and 5 min off day and night, in all 3 stages (cloning, vegitation and flowering) When they dont get enough water they will droop and die. It has never failed me.

unfortunately they are preparing as well. Do a search on "DIRECTIVE NUMBER 1404.10"

Hey all. I am fairly new here, and I must say great thread. This here made me squirt pop out my nose.

I only have a few grows under my belt, so I am not the most experienced person on wild PH swings simply because I have never experienced it. My PH will slowly rise in my tanks, and it usally requires 1-3 adjustments over a 2-3 week period. My cloning resivour (water only) never requires...

False? this statement has nothing to do with PH. It's simply water/nute ratio. If you add water PPM will go down. If you take water out (usage, evaporate, etc) faster than the nutes get used PPM will go up. If the water loss = nute usage, PPM will stay the same. Its pretty simply really.

It would seem you are losing water faster than your plants are using the nutes. Your PPM is currently very low (to my standards) and if you add water it will lower your PPM evem more. If your plants look healthy, I would just leave it alone and contiue to monitor it. In vegging stage I keep PH...

Yes and yes, at least that is what I do. I flush them every 2 (sometimes 2 1/2 cause I am lazy) weeks.

Lets say you have a 10 gallon tank. You then add nutes to make it 500PPM. After a week the PPM is 450 and there are only 8 gallons of water left. That means my plant has used about the same amount of water as nutes. At this point your PPM is 450, but if you plant is in vegitation it has sucked...

Drops - Plant is using more nutes than water Raises - Using more water than nutes Same - Equal water and nutes Remember, ppm can "stay the same" but the plan is only using the nutes it needs, thus creating an "unbalanced" ppm

The PH down/up is for adjusting PH of the water weather there are nutes in it or not. Also, I dont follow the instructions, I follow the meter. You want to take and test a sample after every adjustment.

From what I understand you want your PH to be from about 5.8 - 6. If you are cloning or starting from seed PH of 6 should be fine. With that, you dont want to add any PH down right now. If you have your PH too low or too high the plant will not get the nutrients it needs and will feed off of its...

1. There is a leak causing lack of water pressure. 2. You have a faulty pump. 3. The line is "clogged" somewhere in the main line. 4. You have a power issue causing your pump to not work at full power. Most will require some testing. That is all I can think of right now.....

The hardest part I found about making the holes was trying to get the plastic (or PVC on the fence posts) out of the bit after making the hole. :wall: I drill the holes 80% through on foward, and then put it on reverse to finish. If the round piece does not fall off on its own, it comes out...

I use the regular "weather stripping" you can buy at Lowe's and Home Depot. It's like $3 for one package, and 2-3 packages should be sufficient for any door. It also comes in several sizes.

Thanks for the reply. I started out in 1" rockwool from seed, and when the roots started poking through I planted them in 6" net baskets with clay pellets. I believe the plants are not using the rockwool anymore because the roots are now poking out the bottom of the basket. With that, I...

I am using BluMoon veg solution, and no I have not yet invested in a PPM meter yet so I dont actually know. According to the directions I should be at 1400-1500PPM. The leaves are a solid green, I have seen burnt plants before and my plants look nothing like it. The leaves look "rigid" and...

I have had that happen before. I am by far no expert, but it never went below 1/8th of an inch below my rockwool, and it only happened on one out of ten plants. It really didnt seem to effect my plants at all. I used some H202 in the tank and sprayed a little around the plant and it pretty...
