    Air pump size question. DWC noob.

    I don't have anything to contribute about the airpump but I was intrigued by your set up. You put 2-3 plants into a single 5 gallon bucket? Is that right? I had no idea that was even done. Don't the roots compete and get tangled up into a mess? I would really like to know if it works because...

    what the fuck just happened!! my seeds arrived. i think

    Stop thinking yourself in circles, it's a waste of energy. Customs is on the lookout for other stuff besides a few/handful of relatively harmless cannabis. They're looking for other shit like kilos of cocaine and seedlings and embryos of parasitic plants and animals that destroy ecosystems. If...

    how tall should i let her grow

    sounds like they are ready to flower but if you just topped and added some additional stress from LST, you will want to allow them time to recover before you put them into 12/12 light/dark flowering. Stress can reduce potential yield. One other thing you want to pay attention to is temperature...

    Has anyone tried this variation on Hempy Bucket?

    Has anyone tried using 2 holes near the bottom of the bucket, instead of just one? So that the holes are diametrically opposed? I know the purpose of the hole is to permit drainage of extra nutrient solution, but I've read that the hole also provides for the passage of oxygen. Wouldn't two...

    How to power a computer fan? Stick it into mains?

    Usually a PC fan needs to be wired to a motherboard first, and has a small socket or 3-holed connector which connect to 3 pins (on the motherboard), not 3 loose wires. If you're just going to run a tiny computer fan, and the power supply you use is say, 300W to power it, or even 250W, that is...

    Over fertilizing or "burning" plants

    You know, I was thinking about that rule of thumb when mixing your nutrient solution. It's to use one quarter or one half (1/4 or 1/2) of the amount (volume) that the fertilizer maker states in their directions. Why is this a rule of thumb? Is there any reason why the manufacturers recommend...

    Setting up carbon filter and vortex fan

    Hey MacGuyver thanks a lot for the advice. I'm gonna try pushing the air through the filter first. If that doesn't cut it, I may give that smokestack design a try. I also like that "carbon coffin" of yours, very clever. Maybe you could write up a patent even. Anyway I found this page that...

    Setting up carbon filter and vortex fan

    Carbon filters work by trapping airborne particles in the pores of the activated carbon inside the carbon filter. You need to draw air through the outside of the filter (passes through the carbon) and then out through the internal exahust of the filter itself. If you can vent outside, do so, as...

    Setting up carbon filter and vortex fan

    Also I forgot, the lamp is 250 W HPS and I am expecting this fan to take care of heat. I have a 4" air intake (a lightproof hole) at the back of the cab, on the bottom, and will be drawing the air up and through the cab, exiting out the 4" at the top. Thanks so much

    Setting up carbon filter and vortex fan

    Well the day I ordered the stuff I was reading the forums, and read how security and odor were not really places to be stingy, considering the possible consequences, etc. I bought this stuff hoping it would offer me some more peace of mind. I bought: Vortex CFN-400 High Power 172 CFM 4 inch...

    Setting up carbon filter and vortex fan

    Hi all I'm new here and I have a question. My grow room is rather small, 3' x 2' by 5'. It's actually a cabinet, a stealth room. I just received a carbon filter, of the can-fan variety, and a 4" vortex fan. My problems is that I don't have room to put the filter inside the cabinet. So I...
