i've attached a pic of the room. right now i pull air from inside my living room and send it out next to a window but then i'm always pulling in air that has been heated by being trapped in my house. maybe i need to send the air into the house and pull from the vent next to the window. i've got...

brand new hydrotron and i calibrate my Hanna meter all the time. one problem i'm having is heat. i'm in a closet and it averages 80+ degrees every day with temps in the 70s at night. i can't get an air conditioner because it's a closet so i'm using an air cooled hood with a 6" fan and another 6"...

no camera and when i try to use my phone the pics are too fuzzy. mG2

for some reason last week i decided a pH of 5.6 was the way to go and all of my plants quickly turned light yellow and any leaves remaining green were light colored as well. i put fresh 5.8 pH nutes in a few days ago and i'm still waiting to see some kind of change. these plants are all in some...

i'm still having the same issues. i've got 4 gallons in a 5 gallon bucket at 800 ppm and two days later my ppm has jumped to over 1000. also, my pH always jumps several points. i set it up at 5.8 and my pH ends up at 6.4 or higher. i'm using advanced nutrients so my pH should remain stable but...

i had this in sick plants but it was suggested that it might be more appropriate in this forum... i'm trying to run a small ebb and flow perpetual system on a 3 week rotation cycle. i have 4, 3 week stations for flowering, one small veg box and a cloning room (covered shelf) all in a walk-in...

i've got some OG seeds that will be spending two weeks with some bananas now! it doesn't sound like it could hurt them so why not? thanks for finding and posting this tip!

budders, thanks for the heat heads up. heat has always been a big problem for me since i'm in a tiny space. i found some dehumidifiers that say they have no moving parts so i hope that will keep the heat issue at bay. pcduck- you're right about the electric costs. i remember i did some...

i've got a small closet grow and i'm getting humidity levels up to 70 percent. it feels really dry in there but that what's the gauge says. i can't afford 200 bucks for a dehumidifier, especially when i might have to spring for an air conditioner if i can't keep my temps down (using co2 hoping...

how do you go about doing this? do you just cut off the top of the branch below the flower? can i cut every small bud and just leave a few main ones, or is there a limit to the amount i can trim off? at what point should this be done? all at once or just as they grow in? thanks. mG2

oh, was i supposed to be using the flush chemicals instead of just plain water? i have flora kleen but i thought that was just for the final flush. my raison d'etre was to flush any salt build-up and excess nutes so that my new solution wouldn't be thrown off by old nutes and salts stuck to the...

i have a flood and drain set up and i'm currently flushing the same way i deliver nutes. that seems to take a lot of water (3 gallons X two flushes) so i was thinking if i could flush from above, that would just flush out the extra nutes from the top down and they wouldn't be able to resettle as...

i flush my trays with neutral water each res. change and currently i'm setting up a 5 gallon bucket of neutral water under the tray and pumping it through the tray. i'm doing this twice and i use 3 gallons each time - total of 6 - to do the entire flush. i need to cut back water usage so i was...

I'm considering converting an old grow box into an enclosed drying rack with screen shelves. it would have a carbon filter attached to a computer fan drawing air out. Air intakes are at the bottom of the cabinet. are there any drawbacks to the screen method? i don't have a lot of space but i'm...

i have an ebb and flow system with a tray containing 4 small plants. i had a ppm level of 1100, flushed the tray with 6.0/4ppm water for an hour and replaced the nutrient tank with fresh 957ppm solution. now i just checked the ppm after a week (been lazy) and the ppm level is 1758. how is this...
