    More space more problems. Reconsidering my lighting. Advice needed.

    Out of town for 3 weeks nearing flowering. What to do?

    so its been three weeks. i didnt exactly do a trial run, instead i upgraded a lot of things. i went from a 3'x2'x2 box to a grow tent (60'' tall x36''wid x20''deep), 6'' inline fan as an exhaust, repotted them into muchhh bigger pots so they dont dry out as easy (ffof), and the 5 gal auto...

    Just ordered a grow tent, need advice on lighting.

    I purchased a 60(h)x36(w)x20(d) grow tent. a huge upgrade from by 3'hx2x2 box. My concern is that the area that i grow is subject to relatively high temps in the summer and very low temps in the winter. i've had pretty good results with my 135w led in the summer since there is low heat output...

    Carbon filter idea, need opinions before i give it a shot.

    I've been looking for a good DIY for a carbon filter and realized either way i would have to start from scratch. Then i took a step into my garage and saw something that i think will make the build very easy. Only issue though is the outlet is 4'' and i would either need a 4'' inline fan or a...

    Out of town for 3 weeks nearing flowering. What to do?

    the auto irrigator uses just plain water. it has a submersible pump. im worried about putting nutes in it, i have ff tiger bloom and big bloom. the nutes sink to the bottom and i'm worried about the pump pushing in a highly concentrated dose. the irrigator is pretty simple. a 5 gallon bucket...

    Out of town for 3 weeks nearing flowering. What to do?

    thats the only reason i'm considering leaving them be. there would be way to much heat and fire risk with any other light source. but even so i'll still be quite paranoid for those 3 weeks. then again the light isnt even in the box. i cut a round hole on top of the box and the light is just...

    ***EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*** What do I do?!?! HELP!

    i'm thinkin worse case scenario make a few clones so not all is lost and the clones will be easy to conceal. inspections are just another risk of what we do and im sure you knew that when you started.

    wide shallow pots for shorter grows?

    for grow areas where height is an issue, it is possible to use a shallow yet wider pot to grow instead of standard pots? basically what im asking is if roots will have a problem growing horizontally in soil when it cant go downward any further. example: would a plant grow just as well in a...

    Temps through the roof but no neg effects?

    i want to say it peaked at 110 over the course of 2 weeks with my thermostat recording max/min temps. for the most part the temps hover around the mid the high 80s. the inside of the box is painted flat white so i know light reflection isnt causing hot spots. the strains are kc brains mind...

    Temps through the roof but no neg effects?

    I have two plants in a box roughly 2x2x2ft. i have a 135w led lighthouse hydro along with 6x23w cfls. 12/12 schedule at night. i have 2x120mm fans set up. one intake one exhaust. each fan advertises 74cfm (if my math is correct that means whatever air is in the box fully changes every 6 or so...

    expert help needed

    give it a day or two more and keep an eye out for the little white pistils. to be on the safe side try to limit air flow to reduce pollination. once you know, carefully put a bag over the plant and take it out of the room.

    Whats the best lighting to use indoors?

    your best bet is research. I'll agree quality wise hps is probably the best way to go. problem is the heat output. a cool tube would be a must. ive personally never done an hps but i know its pretty elite. Ive done a few with cfls. Problem is you need a buttload and they need to be very close to...
