Hey guys, I have 2 flower rooms, each about 50 square feet. They get their air from a lung room, which is maybe a couple hundred square feet. I'm in a humid area, so I run a dehumidifer most of the time. My problem is that the dark room (on the off flip) always has humidity around 60%, even...

Hey guys, Building a new room -- about 11 ft by 7.5ft. I had planned to put 2 1000 watt HPS in (I run 3 already) but now I'm thinking of doing four 600's. Would my additional yield be worth the extra costs? 2 more reflectors, ballasts, lamps, extra ducts and about 400 watts of juice...

thanks for the info! Are you worried about the noticeable power draw? I've thought about bumping to 6K of lights but I want to stay under the radar.

yes, I have four 6 inch ducts (one for each light) leaving the room into the attic.

thanks! Since a significant part of that BTU energy is being vented, would that change your opinion? It seems like at least half the the HPS heat is being actively vented out of the room (no data about that, but clearly the fans are actively removing a lot of the light heat).

Hey guys -- I spent the last summer letting the poor old house AC attempt to keep the basement cool. That AC was running all night long trying to keep the basement room cool. So I'm thinking it's time for a mini-split. It HAS to be more efficient than the 30 year old AC running :-) Setup...

Will do -- I'm also using a spray bottle :-)

thanks for the info! I'm diluting the 240PPM to between 45 and 50PPM according to my TDS tester. The plants are getting soaked twice a day and don't seem burned at all. I'm using distilled water from the grocery store. What PPM are you using? I'm about to hit 3 weeks and I'm getting worried!

Hey guys! I have 3 strains (AK47, Maui Waui and an unknown) -- I've been trying to make feminized seeds out of each. So far it has been a fail. The first set of plants got silvered for over 40 days and only one of the three showed any signs of balls (and they were pretty small). This group...
