    LED distance and cycle

    I have it on 6:1 red/blue ratio at 16 hrs daily and 6" distance. I only have another 10" to move lights before I'm out of room, and another 35 days at least according to specs on the seed. It's in a 2 gallon with Ocean Forest fed Botanicare CNS17 Bloom, temp stays 77f 37% humidity daytime...

    LED distance and cycle

    Hello again. I had to restart from last grow. In a 2x2x5 tent, Now I have a White Widow Auto Fem from seedsman that is 33 days old today. I just added 600 watt Minger switchable LED and put the other LED's for side lighting which are 19 watt Feit from Home Depot. My problem/question is the...

    Lumen totals

    Thanks GBAUTO. I really wanted to try the led anyway. Going to add 4' side strips in the red spectrum(2700k) later as it is. This way I know at least I'm getting the coverage for the tops. The heat comparison and space saved by distance to plants allows for slightly bigger yield I hope, and...

    Lumen totals

    So your saying the better light would be the T5 H.O. 2' 4 bulb totaling 96 watts (24w/bulb), rating 8,000 lumens and 6400k spectrum is better for starting an auto strain in a 2x2x5 tent, even though the other light is a LED 170 watt usage 5000k daylight, rating 18,000 lumens?

    Lumen totals

    Hello! All my supplies are almost gathered for my next grow. This question is about choice of light for just starting out. I ordered a 2' 4 bulb T5 HO fixture with 6500k bulbs. It states lumens per bulb is 2000, and claim that gives me 8,000 total lumens. Idk about that, do lumens add per bulb...

    Inline Exhaust

    Duct is 4". I'm only going to run 2' 4 bulb T-5 fixture with 2-3 plants max to start. In 30 days, changing that light out for 200watt CFL during flower. Had good results in past with CFL and adding LED side lighting.

    Inline Exhaust

    This may be a newbies question, but I've never had to worry about odors before. The tent I ordered has the inlet/outlets, and have an inline fan coming with it. Plan was to exhaust through unused clothes dryer vent that leads to outside. Could I just hook one of the inline carbon filters up...

    Co2 worth these conditions or not?

    Thanks Everyone. I figured that would be the case. There's no way for me to seal everything up and still keep temps correct. I only tried Co2 once a long time ago and it was a disaster.

    Co2 worth these conditions or not?

    I plan a 2x2x5 hi-rise tent, adjustable speed inline 4" exhaust, and Hydro crunch 2' 4 bulb T5 H.O fixture to start. How can co2 build up if exhaust fans are always on? Was looking at co2 dispenser canisters from TNB Naturals, supposed to last 2 weeks or more. Is it worth it to provide co2 if...

    Motion Detector Reverse

    It would be 120 vac for the outlet. Same as one that controls security lighting, but in reverse. Have seen wireless sensor that detects motion, sends signal to the 120v outlet to turn it on- light, appliance, etc. I heard someone else say a relay could do it, but I don't know wiring for shit and...

    Motion Detector Reverse

    Anybody. Is there a way to reverse a motion detector to turn off an outlet when motion is detected? I have searched everywhere online and the only thing I found were the Lockstate power strip and the Wemo, which are pricey and controlled via wifi with iphone, ipad, etc. Any help would be good...

    How to Grow Dinafem Seeds Roadrunner Automatic?

    I thought that the plant only can use 18 hours of light anyway. Guess with autos that eliminates the timed factor. I think I will try to 24 hr rather than 18/6.

    No problems, not really.

    Gonna try to pop these Roadrunner Auto's. The free one's from Sea- the Auto Purple and Auto Blueberry can wait. I just hope the Roadrunners can hack bubble-ponics instead of soil.

    I at first had an issue, My card was flagged for fraud suspension, but one call and it was fixed. Beans were here in 5 days! Although this also happened awhile back with other things I order overseas.

    No problems, not really.

    I ordered a couple years ago from Attitude. Took a few weeks first time, stayed in NY for the longest time, but got here. Two months ago, Attitude lost order or wasn't sent. Waited the allotted time, and emailed, and sent right out, fixed it. This last time I went with Sea Of Seeds, Got here in...

    Trim fan leaves ?

    Cool beans then. Maybe if I just remove a few from the bottom nodes, and place the other led panel on opposing side. The wide leaves do photosynthesize. This may make the smaller leaves get bigger too. I'll try that with some foil around the bottom. The hairs are appearing just around the top...

    Trim fan leaves ?

    I left a pic on my journal this morning, but it doesn't do the girl justice, leaves are almost the size of my hands. I have to move the hood of aerogarden up every day, and the bottom growth gets lesser light. I have the led panel light with some foil opposite it, when chamber closed. I thought...

    Plants absorb Ona?

    Wow, that WAS fast. Have just started to show and already starting to smell, even though the Auto #1 description states low odor. Thanks Giggles26.

    Plants absorb Ona?

    I tried searching, but the search box has failed me. Will the linen smell from an Ona block absorb into the plants and ruin them?
