My 12 month average is 2831 kWh/month in a 1800 sq ft ranch with unfinished basement in a 5 year old home. 2 1000's, portable A/C, 600w Mother, 1300CFM of air movement, 100+ gallon salt reef tank and my GF and I. Thats an average of 33 AMPS/hour for the last 12 months. Lets say peak load is...

OK spring is here and I can tell its getting close to needing to switch this system up for better efficiency. I have not used the furnace at all in a month and outside temps have been 25-45 degrees. I've been running the vent fan above my stove continuously for a while now on low setting to be...

Where to fine this self sealing soil pipe in the us? Anyone?

Thanks for the link. You make a good point about the 8" being a good idea. But that makes this problem more complex. Where in my house do I run an 8"x8' tube through the first floor and then conceal it? About the venting through the roof idea. I'm absolutely not cutting a hole in the...

1200 watts should prolly be able to get you 2+ lbs still. Gotta build up slow. Pay off the equipment with the first round. Then expand.

So, my flower and mother/clone/veg room are in a room in my basement. I'm currently ducting the exhaust off my 1000w hps into the main return trunk on the houses HVAC system. That worked fine for 1000w but with the addition of another flower light I'll be overheating the house in all but 20*...

No prob with soil if thats the way you wanna go. Less variables if you're already familiar. If you don't want to cut holes then I'd say its pretty much a requirement to use the 10x12 room for flower. I'd say get the biggest window AC unit you can stuff in the biggest window. And do a...

It won't cause a strain. It will just fuck up the flow from the rest of the return locations. If you pick up with the return off the main trunk instead of the end of the line the air velocity will be higher and will accept the high velocity from the exhaust much easier. IMO.

I currently run my flower light into the cold air return in my basement. The fan is probably moving 300+ cfm after considering restrictions. So, far so good. All rooms in the house still pull smoke into the return vents quickly. A few of the return vents closest to the hvac unit still hold...

Sounds like a primo setup. 4000w in the 10x12 room. 10x10 room could be for mothering, cloning, storage, trimming and curing. Perpetual op in the flower room. Sound to me like 2lbs+ every three weeks if hyrdo.

My thoughts: Twin 6x6x6.5 flower rooms. Leaves 6x3x6.5 of space for mothering, cloning, slight vegging and storage/trim area. The twin flower rooms allow to veg for the correct amount of time to fill the canopy before beginning flower. This way you could have a mature crop every 4-6 weeks...

Might as well make the heat from the bulb warm up your place; no?

A Lumatek digital ballast is supposedly able to give 10% extra wattage on Supermax mode. To the people out there with these or similar 1100 w capable ballasts; whats the square footage of your flower rooms? Are you running the ballast at 110% and if so is it challenging to keep the space cool...

How much start up cash ya got? Without $10-20,0000 I'd say it'd be pretty hard to start correctly right from go.

Why is this retarded thread stickied still? I wanna punch myself every time I open it thinking there is a new update!

Unless your duct runs are lengthy having redundancy doesn't typically mean a significant increase of flow. Second fan could be used more efficiently on a carbon scrubber exhausting the air thus lowering temps, humidity and increasing ambient CO2.

I know Stimatt isn't the OP but FYI two fans exhausting into one duct is a fairly severe restriction. As was posted even a 400w in that room will overheat it without at least a 300CFM exhaust fan on a cool tube. Portable Ac in a room that small will use up a lot of the available space but...

Just enjoyed my first cured BM over the last few days and all I can say is hot damn. Beautiful taste for the entire joint and one hitters on a lunch break really go the distance. This is my 5th grow and its the first time the conditions have been 100% ideal the whole time. So, perhaps its...

It doesn't have to be a MJ friendly area for a hydro shop. I've got two in my city and its only decriminalized up to an oz.
