How often do you guys feed your waterfarm plants? Are you running the air pump 24 hours a day or just 4-5 times a day like ebb and flow?

Im fairly new to this hobby and am only on my 2nd harvest. I have steadily been upgrading stuff and have good control over my environment now with only a 6 degree fluctuation between day and night temps, (64-70). Recently I upgraded to 8" ducting and fans, and now need to upgrade my lights to...

Ok, I will give it some more time. Question, does it matter how big of a clipping I use as a clone? Is it that import that I am only including the top node and a couple inches below? Some of the clones I cut off of my mothers were like 6-8" tall.

I built myself an aerocloner using the widely available instructions. My first try was a success. 100% success ratio. That was also in September. I've tried twice now and am 11 days into my 2nd try. The clones I took are mostly all still green but still no roots. The water temperate is at...

At what point should I remove fan leaves? Is there a point when it is too late to remove the leaves? Do I remove all of them? I have a lot of under growth and while I have done a good job of tying them up so that they get more light, I can see how removing fan leaves can be beneficial...

Ok. Well, my question looks a little stoopid now when looking at it as a question of whether we can have too much light. I guess it sounds like as long as I have the heat under control we are good to go.

I have a room that is 13' by 9'. My usable growing space is going to be about 6' wide by 10 feet long. I would like to put 3 hoods in this room each with a 600w bulb in it. The thing is that if I put 3 hoods in the room and leave space around the edges to walk around, there is going to be...

Im just finishing up my first grow and already I can see where I need to improve. As it stands at the end of my first grow I have established 1 veg room with a cloner for new clones, a veg table for rooted clones to be transplanted to hydroton, and then a 2nd table for the established clones...

How necessary is the dark period at the end of flowering? I am setting up a perpetual grow and it just dawned on me that I will have two sets of clones in the flower room at the same time. One at the end of flowering and the other right in the middle of flowering.

Ok cool. Thank you. This is my first time so still not sure about everything. So far so good though. 4 weeks into flowering!

Last night I added a 2nd light to my flowering room. I had to rewire some stuff so as part of that I unplugged some of my stuff temporarily. Or planned to. The interior fans were running and my air conditioning was running but my exhaust and intake fans were not running. For whatever reason I...

I too would agree about this. Im a bit worried that my bulb will blow or a ballast will die or something and I wont discover it for a few days. I guess a couple of 600s, maybe 3 would work well. The only reason I dont go with 1000s is that my landlord pays my electricity bill. Now, I have...

Should not be a problem but as someone else said the local police and government is very very conservative and thus hostile to anything that is beneficial to the people. Government's motto in San Diego seems to definitely be "fuck the people as long as the developers and the military are...

I have a flowering room of about 15x 10. Currently I have 8 plants under one 600w HPS. I obviously need more light in there. My immediate thought is to add another 600 w bulb. But now Im thinking of other arrangements. What would be better 2 600s for only 1200 watts total or 1 600...

I just ran a subpanel using some existing wires. 2 of the wires were 6 gauge, 1 was 10 gauge and there were 3 12 gauge wires. There were ran about 70 feet to a junction box where I spliced them all (done properly) to 8 gauge wire which ran the remaining 10 feet to the subpanel. Now for...
