you can always find out the moisture content, and then also duct it into your heating system if you have forced hot air ducting for heat. free heat !

you should check out a reloading digital scale. I've used them for reloading ammunition and recently found it used for other purposes as well. It's the Hornady digital scale, ran me about 28 bucks

I picked up the top of the line sears model, it pumps the water tank out when it's full, comes with a wireless info panel as well

yea, i can only imagine 2-3 600/1000 watt H.I.D lamps, a fan, and other devices pulling too many amps and constantly blowing the timer breaker

Search craigslist. I got a single hose for 110 bucks. college kids sell em cheap when they come home and need the cash. Also, is the hot water heater gas or electric? Ever thought about insulating the hot water heater? I don't know what part of the country your from (I'm going to assume a...

they also have diy mold test kits at lowes/home depot. be wary of high humidity with a charcoal filter. it will substantially shorten the life of the activated carbon inside the filter. best bet is to use a dehumidifier like everyone said. It's actually recommended for all basements, not just...

almost the same exact problems cissy. I had a huge spike in ppm from well water, and got a merlin garden pro and booster pump for cheap from a friend. It's coming out at 150ppm now, I think I might need to at least change the carbon filter

I just wanted to say thank you and +rep. I just topped off my dwc bubbling buckets to the brim and added 8 drops/gal like you suggested and will hopefully solve my issues with this invisible root rot I'm experiencing.

well a bit of an update. I basically "washed" the roots, soaking them in ph'd RO water, set at 6.0 I did that last night for about an hour or two. When i put it back into fresh RO PH6 water, I forgot to pop an airstone back into the bucket (I washed the remaining buckets to get rid of scum) so...

+rep subbed for sure. I like the layout you've got, about what size are your rooms?

+ rep. I plan on copying this system, but doing a cabinet that's 2x5x6 and mounting it up off the floor onto a stud support structure against my basement wall. I'm also planning on using plywood or sheathing for the exterior instead of the poly. I have a problem with insects and the basement...

Wouldn't I have visual s/s of root rot? My roots are still white and healthy. I've been looking up threads, and realized I might be making errors when I have been adjusting my ph. I've been adding the ph adjusters directly to the resevoir while the plant is still on the bucket ( I just slide...

Edit: this IS my first grow

This isn't first grow. Everything was fine until I put them into the buckets. Then allllll hell broke loose. Mostly noob mistakes from me, such as not having a RO system,calcium deficiencies, pH issues, nute burn, etc. Basically 2 days ago I finally got my RO system in place and hcanged the...

awesome box man ! I'm looking to do the same things for my mother plant area. I need it like 2'x4' for my hydrofarm t5 fixture. I have a grow tent now, it's way too obvious and rather bulky for my needs. can you snap some more pics of the construction aspects of it? thanks

What about getting a humidity controller? they make individual controllers to control one function only. Edit- to answer the question to the best of my abilities : I believe the constant ups and downs will still be detrimental in terms of possible mold issues, etc.

looks awesome man. I can't wait until i can get out of my 4x4 tent into something perm.

He only used everything at most for 6 months. Everything basically works 100 percent, and he did guarantee it against something happening. I didn't use up my whole budget, it should have been more, but I've had a spell of bad luck in other areas for the moment, so that's all I was committing to...

I feel your pain being in the same region. The battle for my basement is ON

Heres what I got for 2100 Tent 4 6" hoods 4 600w digital ballasts 4 new 600w HPS bulbs 4 4x4 trays Hydrofarm t5 light 6" inline fan 1 tri meter insulated ducting 1 of the 4 port air pumps
