    Ants in my plants

    Im really just wondering if ants will damage my roots. Got 2 weeks left. Just trying to decide whether or not to fool with it. Has anyone had any experience with ant damage?

    Ants in my plants

    The ants showed up almost overnight, hundreds maybe thousands, lol. I looked her over in detail (shes tiny) with a 40x and no aphids. Today i discovered they are in every flower pot i have outside, so i dont think it was her attracting them as much as they are just looking for somewhere to nest...

    Ants in my plants

    I went out to water a plant on my patio this afternoon and it looked like hundreds of little black sugar ants came pouring out of the soil carrying babies. I gave it a good flush until no more were coming out, then fed her again. Its organic soil and last week she got molasses. So im sure thats...

    The setup seems to work great. I hand water and feed, the wick system is just insurance that it doesnt dry out while im away.

    MiNi red party cup challenge ?

    Man, mine is fading just like that one. I thought the soil in the cup was hot enough to last a few weeks, wait, lol, its been a few weeks! I guess daily feedings may become necessary.

    How do grow tents work?

    A tent is just a way to have a little room inside of another room. They are generally air and light tight. Come in most sizes you could need. Really good for small, guerrilla grows in your spare bedroom. You can put 1 4x4 veg tent with a 600 in it and 2 4x4 flower (or 1 4x8) tents with 2 600s...

    400w MH/HPS for 2x2x4 Grow Tent??

    No heat escapes bc the fan runs 24/7, pulling hot air in the tube from the tent, thru the vents, from the outside. At first I just used the passive vents on the tent. But when I switch to 400w in the last 5 weeks of flower, the vents couldn't keep up. I stuck a 4" aluminum inline duct booster...

    400w MH/HPS for 2x2x4 Grow Tent??

    Wait sorry, I read that wrong. My fan and filter are outside of the tent. I drew air in through 1 end of the tube ( that was 2" away from the tent) and then went straight out the tent through ducting. Try posting a pic so we can see where your tent vents are with where your tube is or will be...

    If you shop around for 6" cooltubes, you can find a pretty short one on amazon. The one I found is 19" from tip to tip.

    400w MH/HPS for 2x2x4 Grow Tent??

    If you put a 600 in a 4x4 space with a 24" deep canopy 2 feet away from the light and that canopy is solid wall to wall, you should pull around 16 oz's. 2x2 is 25% the space, so that's 4 oz's. Your light will take up 8", your pot and underneath canopy will take 18" and you need to be at least a...

    400w MH/HPS for 2x2x4 Grow Tent??

    Mine dims 200/300/400. At 200 it only adds 3 degrees. At 300 it adds 8-10. At 400 it soars up to 20-22 degrees with a 6" fan pulling fresh air through. Get the dimmable 400 and turn it down til you can use it.

    Maximum height in ten litre 12 litre pots

    I think switching back to 18/6 may stress the plants to much and that could really effect your yield. But I've never tried it. I've revegged a plant and cloned the new growth without trouble but I think I'd keep running 12/12 once you do it.
