Yes, true, there's more air molecules per litre in cooler air, which would indeed be able to pick up more joules of heat per litre of air. However, an axial blower will not compress air enough to change its temp significantly. Boyle's law will tell you just how much the air temp of compressed...

Better. Hope the 200mm blower brings the temps down. Make sure that the path for intake air is not restrictive. Wrats. If there's not a lot of escaped roots (10mm or less outside the pots), you can trim them off, pull the plant out of the netpot and drop them into std pots- but if there's...

Unfortunately, I don't think you're going to find an HPS lamp which will run on an MH ballast, due to the missing igniter. There are MH lamps that are designed to ignore the 4kV pulse from an HPS ballast, just not the other way round. Sorry. :( Adding CFLs to HID lighting is a lot like adding...

You realise I only wrote that so I could use the line 'Death caught a train to St Marys'. :lol:

About 36". I had a dinner date with death last night. Death was famished and so was I. I had the scallops with ginger & mushroom, death had the chicken sambal. Death & I shared a pot of jasmine tea and two bowls of steamed rice. Then I bid death adieu and drove home. Death caught a train to St...

Your MH ballast will not start an HPS as the HPS lamp requires a brief high voltage spike, 1.5-4kV, to start the arc. HPS ballasts have an igniter for this purpose. MH tends to produce smaller, leafier buds than HPS. You may be able to retrofit your MH ballast with an igniter suiting HPS and...

hay rollie, I've checked the top 10, they no like me. Is there a new new proxy list? Thanky. :)

yep depends on the mother plant. A healthy, vigorous mum may deliver 8-10 thick stems (>5.5mm, often 10mm dia). I have space for 10 mums, but some of them are not used for cuttings- they are young replacements which are being vegged up in anticipation of taking cuts from them in the next few...

https://www.rollitup.org/payments.php yep yes, there's a commercial outfit I heard of not long back which is trying to get $350 for a box with a fan, $1500 if you want a heating element. :shock: Hang drying is a security problem as you have buds literally hanging around for a couple of weeks...

No, I'm not paid per se. rollie did gift me the elite features recently, which is a compensation of sorts, but that's the lot. I type at about 90-100wpm, but I have other things to do and can't possibly interact on every thread. When people are getting it right, it saves me a lot of keystrokes...

Sure, anything above 350 might seem crazy in your local area. All depends on how much bud is available and how bad the smokers want it. The price of buds is also influenced by how much risk is involved in growing it. The War On Drugs can be directly credited with keeping prices high. If...

While you may not be a cop, LEO almost certainly does read RIU. I was a natural born techo, got my ham radio license before I was 10. Always worked in electronics in one way or another. By way of radio broadcasting. I already was a decent techo, was lucky with the DNA & got some great pipes , so...

Just a side note... I've been out browsing other forums on RIU today. After about 2 years of pounding on some basic concepts, the general quality of advice that RIU posters are sharing with peers is seriously improving. While I don't want everyone to simply parrot stuff I say just because I...

Well, the point I was trying to get across, without being too specific about my location, is that there's places in Aus where the ambient air temps are never high enough to be a problem. If your room's tstat is set for 25C, when the ambient air available to draw in is above that figure, the...

The tall plants are sparky's mums, which look like they are due for retirement and replacement with one of their progeny.

Tall plants are not the indoor grower's friend. If you veg before flowering, you get tall plants, which DOES put the lowermost buds out of the best coverage of the HPS lighting. However, if you flower clones immediately after they set root- no veg time between setting root & flowering- you get...

location, location, location! If you offered $350 for an oz in my neck o' the woods, the sellers would simply say no & sell to someone else for 400, and there's plenty who would happily pay it. Supply & demand, dood.

You'd have to be from the part of the old school known as 'wrong' to believe that. I'm from the old school college referred to as 'proven and reliable.' ;) Smart cookie. :) Not so! Don't forget that I was an American 30-odd years before I was an Australian. If I can do metric, anyone...

Fan leaves are the food factories for the plant. They are where the carbs that get assembled into cellulose to build the plant are made. Remove them and the plant will stunt badly, but I reckon that won't surprise anyone much, particularly not your leaf-pickin' mates. Removing fan leaves with...

Fix the goo and the roots will recover- they're not keeping up with the foliar growth. If his words make the songs, Zimmo should write books. It'd save my hearing and sanity, too. :? That'll fix it. Make friends with the metric system. It's INFINITELY easier to deal with litres & millilitres...
