Hi yawl, just popped in for a lookabout. Want you all to know how mightily impressed I am with the general quality of discussion and advice going round the boards. I had feared that when I no longer had time to answer grow op queries that this place would devolve back to pseudocience-spouting...

Redundant, multiple air pumps are a very good thing in bubblers, especially if all or part of the air system can be run on a UPS. Power failures lasting more than an hour or so can be a disaster in bubbler ops.

I guess it depends upon who can hear it. If you're in the middle of bumfuckegypt and there's no one around, no problem. In tropical locations, as you note, it's not unusual to run a/c often. I don't think it's going to attract any attention in your area.

FF, all aircon units have the benefit of dehumidifying. When ambient air passes over the cold coil, the moisture in the ambient air will condense on it and provide the dehumidifying effect. Single unit portable aircon machines, those with their compressor units in the main unit, with hot air...

what the hell do you mean, can you pollinate a horse? I've been pollinating sheep for years. Can't see why horses would be any different, provided there's a milk crate handy. :lol:

bugs, your biggest exposure risk generally comes from noise audible outside the op & scent leaks. I'd focus on those long before I'd worry too much about IR signature. Neighbours and meter readers don't usually look at your place with FLIR, but they won't need that to hear & smell an op. Your...

Yep, no problem. Not when you use the sulfur 'burner' as I suggest, which is about 8-10 mins 2x/day during lights off. I've never detected any sulfur scent or flavour in my buds, nor has anyone else who smokes them. If you are running a S 'burner' so much that you're able to detect a S...

panhead, I'm surprised you put so much effort into the obvious troll being obvious, but hey, I'll run with it. :D Well, yes and no. I do have commercial accts at a few hydroponics equipment wholesalers and used to resell grow gear to a few growers I know. However, one of my gear clients passed...

I think you're suicidal. More than CO2 comes out of your water heater flue. It emits carbon monoxide and heat, too. If your exhaust doesn't work as intended, we may never hear from you again. Also, hot gases from the water heater exhaust will drive your grow room temps well above the desired...

You've been so busy making mistakes that you have PLENTY to learn... but will you have any dope to show for it? Trying new things is all well and good if you are an experienced grower with a productive op. THAT'S the time you should be trying new things.... NOT when you are a noob on your...

Yep, I've read all 12 pages. It's an Aerogarbage. You've just made a stab at upgrading it. You admit to 'not knowing anything before 7 weeks ago' and couldn't even be bothered to read the FAQ about the life cycle of cannabis (you didn't know how to induce flowering). Like a blind dog finding...

Would you rather have 2 oz of bumfluff every 12 weeks or 2 oz of solid nugs every 2 weeks? You can come up with any conspiracy theory you like, but the beginning and end of it all is that a standard Aerogarbage grows poor quality buds and does so slowly, for spot on triple the cost of doing it...

You're quite welcome, but I'm not really 'back,' as it were. It's just Sunday AM here in Aus and I have a couple of spare hours, which I've already succeeded in burning up- and then some. I'm now working a paying gig running some websites, aside from running my op of course, and I really don't...

Why would you spend $200 on something that just waters plants (and that's all an Aerogarbage does), if you're going to immediately replace the weak CFL lighting with HPS anyway? It's like jacking up the radiator cap on a Hyundai and driving a BMW under it. Why not spend a little time...

If you flower your clones as soon as they have a good spray of roots, no veg time between setting root & flowering, plants remain short and do not require any fill lighting. Adding CFLs to a decent sized HPS is like adding a model airplane engine to a 747. There's THAT much difference. Any bud...

No argument at all, much less a shitfuck of one! I just keep stating the facts and restating them. Why would you pay more to grow inferior buds, more slowly than by proper methods? Worse, why would you come to the defence of an inferior method, unless you had some emotional connection to...

You'd have learned everything you did from an Aerogarbage just by emulating proper, productive grows you see pictured on boards like RIU- and it would have cost you a lot less dough. Imagine if you had gotten top results from your first grow without struggling through the first 6 mos with an...

Solid, dense nugs, thick with resin, grown faster than you can smoke them. Aerogarbages are too physically small to even grow good-yielding plants with the SoG 'flower immediately after clones set root' method to keep them as short as possible. CFLs don't deliver enough light intensity to yield...

What sets me off is manure spreaders. Growing good dope indoors is really pretty easy- unless you first have to weed through disinformation spread by noobs who justify their wrongness by calling it an opinion.

What's pathetic is a silly 'As-Seen-On-TV' toy that will not grow buds as fast as you can smoke them.
