Instead of using single emitters, make your own drip rings with 1/4" tubing and 1/4" tees. Just assemble into a ring and drill 5 or six 1/8"holes around the ring. Use a strong pump (296 gph or more for 12 or more sites) Its easy, economical and you can feed the plant 360 degrees, a more...

1 ml per gallon works for me. 1 tsp. = 5 ml per gallon is way too much imho.

Hey everyone! I am moving into a home that has a full unfinished basement, complete with sewer drain and water hookups WooHoo!! Way more room than I need but that is a good thing. However, the basement has flooded in the past and it has that musty smell. The flooding problems have since...

Hey everyone! I read a thread where this guy inserted the drip line directly into the mfg's hole in a rapid rooter. Does this keep all of the hydroton wet in the pots or will there be some dry spots? I was planning on using drip rings (they look cool and they water all the way around) but I...

Oh, you mean using like an umbrella reflector that the bulb hangs vertically? I have a 5000btu window A/C, will this and an extraction fan keep my temps around 75?

No Honkey, I haven't. I used a 400w b4 and it sucked. What do you mean. "vertical grows?" Is this a stupid question? The air-cooled reflector is 21" x 21" x 10"h (Radiant Reflector) which leaves me with about 5 ft from the top of the pots to the reflector. I understand what you mean by...

OK, four 600watters it is. Thanks for everyone's help on this subject. I like this community!

OK, if I got this right, I could use four 600w without a light mover or three 1000w if I use a light mover. Right? I friend of mine used a light mover and his buds were fluffy, not dense. I think he had it traveling too far though. Plus I would have to buy 2 llight movers since my flower...

Thanks for your help! I think I will go with the four 600w instead of three 1000w. That would give me 60w psf on the one long side and 50w psf on the other table. My flower room is "L" shaped. I appreciate you help Ceestyle! I will smoke one for you soon. I have to stay clean for a little...

This is a pic posted by "MyGirls" with the caption "well i no i can put my 1000wtt on top of my 6 girls:blsmoke:" I didn't realize that radiation is the cause of burning, I thought it was the heat generated from the bulb itself. 9 - 12" for a reflector? Cool, that makes me breath a little...

Thanks Ceestyle! I was leaning toward the 1000w, but you are on to something here. Since I have 6 feet of height from the top of the pots, include the reflector which I assume will take up about 18", that leaves me with 4.5 feet, add another 18" of distance between reflector and top of plants...

My plan is to grow big plants. If I use a 600w, won't that decrease my yield due to the lack of light penetrating the canopy? I may do a SOG sometime, but I want to get a few indoor grows under my belt first. I just don't want to purchase a 1000w and find out that my plants keep burning and...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I will be using HPS bulbs for flowering. Here's a few more notes about the room: Flower room is 14' x 5', looking at three HPS 1000w 5000 btu window air 8" inline exhaust fan with carbon filter I agree with you dave, a 600w would be the way to go in a small...

Hey! I am setting up a indoor grow room. I've grown outside but I am tired of al the problems associated with the great outdoors.....rabbits, bugs, rogue pollen, etc. Everything seems to be in order except I can't decide which lights to use. Except that I will have to use air-cooled hoods in...
