    Harvesting

    I'd love to do this method once I've had a couple harvests. As for now, I'll probably shrink it down a little... 10 days dry, 1 week cure. I'm definitely down for the purist method once I've established a good routine, so I'll keep this method on file when harvesting Round 3. ;) C2C :leaf:

    Need CO2 meter

    The hydro store has single use testers on the cheap. It's a kit... The device that administers the test and 3 single-use tests for $20, I believe. Additional tests were $3-4 each test. Probably not economical in the long run, but good for figuring how effective your CO2 dosage is. I might get...

    DIY= Do It Yourself Water Chiller that Works!

    These are great, guys... I'm in desperate need of an economical chiller, and I'll definitely be giving this a shot. Does the case need to be removed to use the chiller plate, or did you just do that to fit in your cabinet? With the A/C unit, what is used as the thermostat? Does it just work...

    My Lighting Project - Will a Custom LED Panel Work?

    Thank you very much, good sir. I tried to learn as much as possible before-hand. I like some aspects of both aero & hydro, so I tried to capitalize on the best aspects of both. I guess the roots are starting to grow together now... badass. I did find out some negative news. The plants are...

    120W LED + Rainforest 66 + Papaya

    Wow, very healthy looking plants going into flower. I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised at your yield. This takes care of the IR signals we were talking about, and probably some of the UV as well. Keep on truckin'! +rep (if it lets me) My new mothers are now under my custom...

    My Lighting Project - Will a Custom LED Panel Work?

    Ok, lots to talk about. The ladies are doing wonderfully. As I stated earlier, I do believe that this setup still lacks some sort of infra-red signal (and possibly UV signals) that the plant needs to know it’s receiving light and it can stop reaching for the sky. They’ve been in...

    My Lighting Project - Will a Custom LED Panel Work?

    If you look at post #63, second paragraph, I definitely noticed that and addressed the problem. They're all at full-power now. Pretty, isn't it? ;) Done! Thanks for sticking with the project... more updates next week, and a grow journal as soon as I get some decent pictures. ;)...

    My Lighting Project - Will a Custom LED Panel Work?

    Updates! My friend's setup is fully functional, though he had issues with heat in the room using only one 600W HPS (total of 3) on the 50 pre-rooted clones he bought, since the water chiller isn't up and running yet (not designed for this exact purpose, trying to retro-fit). Until he fixed...

    My Lighting Project - Will a Custom LED Panel Work?

    I'm quite disappointed... was hoping to have those pictures by now, but I guess I'll get them when I get them. I need to find my digital camera. Should have babies going into the setup beginning of this coming week. :) C2C :leaf:

    Isn't Alaska a little cold for full outdoor grows?

    This type: http://cheaphydroponics.com/store/timers/cap-art-dne-adjustable-recycle-timer/prod_12.html It's a little spendy at $85, but you won't find any timer that's better for water pumps in aero/hydro systems... 1 second to 40 minutes adjustable ON time, 1 minute to 8 hours OFF time. All...

    One in the center would work really well, but four would cost you about $8 more in parts, and it'd be rockin'. One sprayer in between each root structure...

    Undoubtedly so... gotta get my med card. Can I get a "woot!" for Cali? ;)

    If you add 4 misters or full circle sprayers inside the res, the roots hanging below the hydroton and above the water level will be very happy with you. The drippers and misters can be hooked up to the same water pump timer. You're running air pumps & diffusers in the res, right? For an ebb...

    My answer to the pump on/off times was for a spraying system... not 100% sure if you're just doing the drip. :)

    I strongly suggest not moving your soil plants to a hydro system... it's pretty much impossible to clean the root system of a mature plant without hurting some of the root system. Cloning the soil plants for new hydro plants is usually the preferred method. You don't HAVE to put a timer on the...

    That's a silly question. There's weed everywhere. As far as who to contact in Alaska, I have no idea. Good luck!

    My Lighting Project - Will a Custom LED Panel Work?

    I should have pictures of the whole mothers setup later today. So... as you can probably tell from the first lights-on pictures, some LEDs were brighter than others. After messing with it and finding another solution, I realized the true culprit: the power supply was switched to 230V. I...
