I think the problem with sada and vinegar is that the reaction is instant where as with the yeast and sugar, the reaction keeps on going for weeks. I am going to get a big bucket with a tight lid, fill 3/4 with the yeast/water/sugar combo and have multiple tubes going out to the bottom of one...

I meant to say "like the FireDragon says..." sounds like I was mocking him but I wasn't. he;s correct.

you need better pots and soil. The the FireDragon says. perlite and pots with bigger holes will give better drainage thus allowing air to get to the roots and drying out faster between waterings to allow you to feed it more often as well as preventing root-rot. If you paint walls white or use...

sorry here is the reply I should have quoted. ya I'm new.

I went to an appliance store and got a big old fridge box. that's what the above grow is in. And it was free.. I just built a sturdier frame inside it and good to go.

He knows 80 degrees is a problem. His question was how to deal with it.This is my 3.5x3.5 grow. 8 t5's on the ceiling and 2 300w equivalent cfls and 2 120 equal cfls hanging in the middle with the plants arranged around them in a circle.

I agree with you Reklaw. Was just trying to elaborate.

1 use 1 10 dollar fan in my cabinet (3.5x3.5) and the bottom and I mean fresh air from the room the cabinet is in, not from outside.

in via a small fan or vent at the bottom and out via the same method at the top. If cabinet is small enough only the exit or entry should need a fan as natural displacement should push the air out if new air is pushing it's way in.

yes. you are moving a ton of air but not away. just around your plants and because of this they may also lack co2. If you can suck in fresh, cooler air and move it thru the cabinet and out the top then you will be replacing the air in the cabinet instead of just cycling it around.

I say mother nature has a greener thumb then any of us around here so I always take it with a grain of salt when I see tips advising people to do odd things to their plants that could never occur in nature, such as 48 hours of darkness. I have also had the chance to compare flushed plants with...

What do yu mean CFL's u need more wattage then HID? The other way around man. My 65watt CFL's -2700k from Lowes are the equal of a 300 watt incandescent lightbulb. I am growing in a 3.3x3.5 area with 8 3ft. t5HO's @2700k on the ceiling and hanging in the middle are the 2, 65watt @ 2700k cfls and...

put a 400 in there and 90 degrees would seem cold. they just make less heat than HIDS. You can't touch a HID without getting blisters. you can wrap you're hand around a CFL.
