Goddess, does the Active Aqua 112w pump pull a lot of juice? Are they loud and do they vibrate alot? I have seen those pumps and am kind of leaning towards one. It would give me the option of adding more buckets and plus plenty of air. Thanks...

I am wondering what some of you folks are using as far as air pumps go when growing in a dwc setup? I myself have been using the general hydroponic pump on a 4 bucket (3 1/2 gal.) set up, but feel that its really not enough. If anybody can suggest something better I would greatly appreciate it...

Here you go a Northern Light bud that I am currently growing in hydro.

My wife has been diagnosed with breast cancer and is about to start chemo treatments. I am wondering if anybody has went through a similar situation and did you use any herb to help with the nasty side effects that go along with it? I am looking for ANY info that may help her get through these...

No the cabinet is 3'w x 18"d x 6' h,double door, metal cabinet, with a single shelf. I apologize for the error. I have plenty of 110v cpu fans a couple of Dayton 140cfm blowers and my choice of either a 400w MH light or a load of cfl's, I am not a noob at growing, I have been growing in hydro...

I have just come across a 6' x 3' x 18" double door metal cabinet. I want to use it for a couple of mothers and for cloning. I would like some advice on what I need to do to turn the cabinet into the perfect grow cabinet. I also would like to set it up, for in the future, if I decide to flower...

I went ahead and picked up the MH from Home Depot. I also found out when using the better 400w HPS "Grow" bulbs that I was getting basically the same results with the cheaper Home Depot bulbs and saving myself $50 to $60. I want to thank eveybody for their opinions, I really apprciate the help...

I recently aquired a used 400w Sunlight supply switchable ballast and was wanting to get a MH bulb for it. Home Depot carries them but they have 2 400w MH bulbs and I don't know which one it is that I need. They are the Phillips brand but one is a ED28 which is a smaller bulb and the other is a...

I am having a problem with my 600w hps set up and am trying to figure out the problem. The light will kick on but the bulb just glows a dull orange and does not brighten up. The ballast I bought on ebay as well as the bulb. The ballast is used ( Hydrotek assembled in 06') and the bulb is new...

I have been growing White Widow, using clones from a mother plant for going on 2 years. Yes I use a microscope to watch the trichs and have found flowering times seem to vary, sometimes as quick as 6 weeks and sometimes up to 8 weeks on a 12/12 light cycle. I usually look for a 50/50 split...

I am thinking of up grading to a 600w hps from the 400w hps I currently have been using. Its a closet grow 2' x 5' x 7', with 4 WW clones in a DWC hydro set up.I have good venting in and out and keep the area cool using a portable ac unit, My questions are will the 600w be overkill, will the...

I am wondering if there is a way to check a ballast to see if it starting to wear out? I have a Sunlight Supply 400w hps ballast that just doesn't seem to be as bright any more.I bought it used a couple of years ago so I don't really know how many hours it had been used before.I replace the bulb...

All right I am looking to all the experts here to help me on what seeds to order next. For the last year I have been doing a closet (2 x 6 x 8), 400w hps, hydro grow using Nirvana WW and have had great success.I now want to expand my horizons and try something different. I am looking for strains...

I have some White Widow clones that I have growing outdoors(in dirt,in pots) for about a month that I want to bring in and put in my grow closet. Now I don't want to bring in anything with them since normally I use a DWC Hydro set up in there, but decided that I wanted to try a dirt grow under...

No, I am talking about the inline duct fans used in furnace and AC ducts to help push the air. I originally started with a 60 cfm 4" duct fan from Home Depot, and it was really quiet but I didn't think it was pulling enough for my room size with the 400w HPS light. My temps would run in the mid...
