I'll likely be awhile before trying the pump, special order product . We only have 1 or 2 petstores and I am not sure if they carry the tetra. So if anyone tests a pump in a small 28 degree celsius box before me , post the RH you get and the pump. I have tried two humidifiers and I only get...

I am pressed to find ways to increase humidity in a vegetative growbox. 2 feet by 19 inches. I am considering wether running a tetra whisper 100 aquarium airpump with diffusers in a water resorvoir would increase humidity. I am only getting 20 r/h percent and I think that is drying the...

Well I'll check on ebay for the cooltubes , what I see is the cooltube reflectors. You are saying there is a "cooltube bulb" that is not HPS or MH. I have ungrounded electricity through a GFCI , so its a cheater plugin that may not work well. I suspect I may need the better ballasts to adapt...

Well lady you see I want to smoke alot, and I am only getting about 1oz yld per plant, so far. So I figure at 6oz's thats 6 plants. HPS lights are so expensive , is there an alternate CFL and incandescent wattage mix of bulbs that would be as good or ONLY HPS for good results. I've heard of...

Ya but what size should the room be ..I need to make a space for a 1000 hps and keep the spacesize as small as possible while allowing for the most plants so the the heat bill can be minimized when temperatures are cool. How many plants can i get under this with a 22"inch reflector?

Ya they have some nice stuff but its hard for me to understand what one is junk. Thats where Ill get taken for a ride. 175 with the hood and bulb???? for a 600 hps? There is one intown here for 300 without hood or bulb, very expensive. I just wish there was a known favourite that is...

I've got two plants in a 30" x 25" cabinet and they are done growing and only use about 25" wide and 20 " deep . I am waiting for them to finish flowering its been 8 weeks but they were delayed so not been an expert I am still waiting. So I figure in order to keep heat costs down a small space...

I am trying to find the tape measure rightnow to get the exact size of the space and maby I will have to increase the space to get a good grouping of plants. I will make it out of 2x4 and brackets. I usually get my lights from garage sales though! A good picture of the accepable amount of...

I am in Canada, spring is still trying to spring here.. very cold except a few nice afternoons in the summer! If its not raining! I can get it exhausted but need to figure out the right pattern for arranging my plants to get them all under the lights. Maby a circle arrangement of 3 plants...

Ok so I got an area about 6 feet wide and two feet deep and want to put about 6 plants in and need to buy HPS light. Should I buy 2 500 watt ballasts and , so the light covers all the plants. Instead of 1 1000 ballast. Or what would ensure coverage? Also I could save AC if i only had 3...

Ok so they will be flowered for 8 weeks on the 6th of may and they wont likely cover AC costs. One plant is flowering alright and the other singed the top of the plant lastweek and the canopy top burnt (should i trim or leave the burnt top? leaves gone stem exposed.with twoweeks to go ). So...

Oh Ozzy it's you , now I know you just snort your buds but what should I do. I'm just laerning to grow so , I put my plants in to flower on the 6th of march and expect to wait 8 weeks? and then harvest the buds. So I put the buds in a jar and air them two or three times a day for a month and...

OK clearance height to the top of the plant from the bottom of the 150 watt hps bulb should be a minimum of how many inches? I have heard the rule in a microgarden is "place your hand on the top of the plant and it gets hot then lower it a few inches and recheck" is that about it? or is there...

Sure would make Christmas Fun!

Cooltubes for flowering or vegetation. The daylight 5600k CFL I have works good for vegging a few plants. But she's THG very effective, yes! For Flowering I expect HPS are best because they have more of the spectrum. I have two and yes they are not efficient as the bulb wattage. Is there a...
