    Any Sentinel experts here? Having issues with my MDT-1 timer

    I've had my MDT-1 timer for a few weeks now and I'm having a problem with it. It is currently running a single EcoPlus 636gph submersible pump and two 600 watt HPS bulbs on Lumatek electronic ballasts. The problem I'm having is when I go to check on the timer in the morning, there has been two...

    Can I run two 600w HPS off my Sentinel MDT-1 timer?

    Can I just use a 12-gauge two foot extension cord plugged in to the Sentinel MDT-1 to power two 600w HPS lights, or do I need to buy their PXM-1 Power Expansion Module to run these two lights? :confused:

    Coolest running pump for aeroponic setup? Need recommendations...

    I have an aeroponic cloner and I am looking for recommendations for the coolest running pump available. The box is a 20 gallon tub holding ten gallons of water/nutes and is running 20 spray nozzles. The current pump is a 535 gph unit - aside from being total overkill for a system of this size...

    Any reason NOT to use 3/4" PVC in a small aero cloner?

    I understand that most people use 1/2" PVC for their small cloner setups. Any good reason not to go with 3/4" PVC? I just happen to have a bunch of fittings, and about 8' of pipe, left over from a reef aquarium plumbing project. Thoughts...concerns?

    Friend doing everything wrong and refusing to take sound advice...

    Am I the only one with a friend like this? Somehow I doubt it, but here's my story... My friend of 14 years recently spent a lot of money to set up a two-chamber grow room in his basement. He's got two rooms that are 10' x 7.5' each for veg and flowering, three 600w HPS lights, one 250w MH...

    9' long x 2' deep is all I've got. How would you light this space?

    My main potential grow space is a 9' x 2' closet with 8' ceilings and two bi-fold doors. The 2' depth is a problem as far as lighting goes. How does one light a 2' wide space like this? Cloning will take place elsewhere in the home so I'm looking to do veg and flowering growth in the 9' x 2'...
