The Badboy T5's are superior to other T5's for one simple reason. They overclock their ballasts greater than the standard 54w if you hook your up to a watt meter you will also see the difference. The good news is that they also have bulbs with phosphors which are stable at that overclock...

As the 420admin said, you got to go 10gal or better. He said 15.. I said 20gal ... this is more about maximizing your yield for the 600w light. And the more the volume the longer you can go without feeding especially in Coco. I suggest a coco Pearlite mix.. and make sure to Add Magnesium to...

Going to do a 3 way comparison soon. But from what I can see so far some main points have been covered here... 1) Colas need to be hand trimmed always 2) Cleaning the trimming machine is an absolute MUST!! 3) Spraying oil or PAM on the machine sounds interesting and may help with performance...

A 600w light can cover a 4X4 area well. To grow a plant of about 16sqft you need a pot closer to 20gal. Don't think of water usage on a per/plant basis but rather a volume basis. If you have 10 plants in a 2gal pot and one large in a 20gal pot the water usage will be similar. Of course this...

Yes start fresh with a new res change. Also in recent years many people have started to notice (myself included) that allowing PH to fluctuate improves performance and overall nutrient uptake. As you said, PH can cause all types of lockout not just CalMg... 10 years ago I spent a lot of time...

I spoke with CCH2O about this. Admittedly, they claim this is the recipe for the highest yield of flower not necessarily of weight or oil. They said it was created and tweaked about 3 years ago BEFORE everyone started doing things with their trim. So in response they admit the higher temps and...

No.... CCH2O systems are meant and ONLY run with an inline water chiller. The root-zone temps (See water temps in the bottom line of the first chart) say to keep the root zone cool all the time (never more than 68deg) ... this is true and something I have always done. The reason is because...

It's not the water temps they are talking about being in the 80's. As you can see from the chart they are saying keep the water 68-64deg which it totally correct in my experience. 67deg till the end and 64 last few weeks to bring out color. I am cool with that. What I find odd is the fact they...

Was checking out Current Culture's website and their recommended graph which is pretty cool. General Recommendations - Current Culture H2O I was pretty shocked to see that they are suggesting a decrease in CO2 PPM progressively from week 2 onward. This is contrary to everything I have done...
