I bought an HID thinking the heat would be enough to keep the cold winter (its not even winter yet) temps away. Boy was i wrong. My temps ranged from 50F to 95F. Yup, big problems. Instead of tearing my hair out setting up a heating and cooling schedule i bought two Lux Win100 Thermostats. One...

I believe it draws around 80-90w. I only have one plant growing right now so i think i can get away with it for this one grow.

I bought an HID but i think i'm going to ditch it and go back to LED. I have a 135w Blackstar lighthouse hydro and i was wondering if its good enough for a tent thats 3ft wide, 2ft deep, and 5 ft tall? of course all mylar reflective inside. I'm only going to do 2-3 grows max in it. If its not...

I just had an idea in the shower i'm just gonna throw out there for an opinion. Instead of having an hps as my light and heat source and having a cooling exhaust fan on the thermostat, maybe i should switch back to LEDs which produces almost no heat, set the exhaust fan on a timer to dump the...

i think i'll give the thermostat a try. i dont have internet in the area to use a fancy system like that. makes sense to have the fans only go on when it passes a certain threshold. i just have to hope that the heat does not dissipate too fast once the lights go out.

i have no idea how that option slipped my mind. i cant really find what people around here are using but i see nothing but great reviews for the LUX Win100.

I have a 3ft wide x 2ft deep x 5ft tall tent that i have in an attic that experiences very significant temperature fluctuations. It has a 400w non-vented hood which i purposely got to keep it warm in the winter. Its dimmable so i can run it at 200w or 300w as well. The tent also has a 400cfm 6''...

Okay so I've been hesitant to start a journal because i usually pop reg seeds and i'd hate to upset everyone (including myself) to make a journal and eventually find out they're males. I like to keep things very simple with my grow, temperatures being my only enemy. I tried germing an unknown...

i would peak in the low 100s during summer. pretty insane but i had a tonnnn of ventalation and it seemed to do fine.

doesnt flowering cause the leaves to do that since its putting all its resources into flowering? as far as the temps causing that i think its unlikely. ive had a grow that dipped as low as 45F (7C) and peaked at 105F (40C) and it grew quite well although i'm working on stabalizing those temp a...

i have a 135w blackstar in a very similar tent.. 36x20x63. for your application i think leds would work. mine is in a big empty loft that gets really hot in the summer and really cold in the winter. the led i have grew two plants somewhat nicely but once they get big the lower leaves get no...

oh, im not sure if thats depressing or not considering i get a good amount of growth from it. im starting a new grow soon and i'm hoping its enough for just one plant. but if not i'll probably supplement it with cfls since i have a ton left from my cfl days. 5 cents is what im showing from the...

I just calculated what my leds cost per month and it seems really low ( i know leds are efficient but didnt think they were this efficient) So I have a 135W blackstar led. For arguments sake because of the fans and everything on it lets say it draws 150w. Also presume i am doing 24/0 and 12/12...

So do LED panels always glow when theyre connected to a digi timer? i used one for a 24hr blackout hoping it would jumpstart flowering. i guess i mistakenly stressed it by triggering 24 hours of veg?? hahaha EDIT: Also, i think i am seeing little balls at a few nodes at the top of the plant. I...
