Good to know



Sorry if I sound skeptical, but you are a former OGer, and this is only your second grow? What happened? Did you grow once back in the day then give up for 5 years? Or have you just been chillin and reading for a few years?

Either way, welcome
Yup, only had one other op.
I had bad heat problems and being such a small op, I didn't consider the time I had been spending worhthwile and I pulled the plug.

Fast forward a few years, can't find work, econ sucks so I figured id get back into it.

Got new beans, RO an A/C, so lets see what happens. :weed:

I hope this time ends up running better than the last.

Just keep in mind that if you have AC running to the grow room, and your exhaust is constantly running, you'll just end up dumping that ac and your power bill will go up alot.

I wouldn't recommend using the AC unless heat becomes an issue. But that's me.

I really hope it works:hump:
I don't really have too many option at this point. It gets really HOT.
My op is "semi stealth" so adding more intakes for cool tubes is out of the question.

The best I have come up with was to put my exhaust fan on a speed controller and run it just fast enough to keep my vented hoods cool to the touch.
My portable A/C is in another room and I had to rig up ducting that Y's off into the veg and flowering room. I lose a lot of efficiency this way. The A/C itself is rated for 450 sf. but it hardly cools down the two rooms 7 deg. It was obviously not designed to duct.

My only other option is to run my A/C where it sits w/o the ducting. It is kept in the room next to the op. My op draws in air from this room.

I will have to play around and see which way works better.

Any suggestions are welcome.

so does the ph fluchuate alot is this type of set up ? like do i gotta adjust ph after every flood or something like that. i will be using r.o water that comes out at 15- 25ppm, so we could maybe mix nutes to 5.5to 5.9ph at 100ppm and flood every 3 hours light on . 6 floods during 18hrs light cycle, 4 floods during 12 hrs bla bla bla does this sound ok to begin.

wow you kids sure do a lot of talking when i go away for a day or so.:clap:


so is there a diff im\n water bongs and ice bongs?..and how much does a ice bong cost on avg.
no dude ...i'm sorry i meant just use any old bong you like they are ALMOST (for all you trolling nit-picky mo fo's out there) all the same. just make sure its big enough to add ice to the bottom and viola:hump:

depending on the set up (as always) you should put your room exhaust on a thermostatic switch. they are a cheap investment and worth their weight in gold.

idk if rollie is a canuck...i think he/it might be though. jesus man 51 plants per shot, your not gonna know what to do with all that damn $$$$$

suggestion: buy gold

hmmmmmmmm......must think before i reply

sounds ok but let your plants tell you what they need ...got me? and no this is by far the most stable of all hydro applications as far as stability in ph and , well everything as far as i'm concerned. dont be fooled though, you can damn sure fuct everything up in a hurry if your not careful. ditching the rw takes away the E&F "buffer" and makes it react to good/bad shit much faster, but when you get it dialed in.....look out

I posted in general, but wanted to get your guys input as well...

My girls got a small Mg def. so I gave Epsom and it seemed to do the trick, but it raised my PPM from 1250 to 1750 and my EC went from 2.5 to 3.4.:shock:
I have to mix up a new batch of soup today, should I lower my nutes strength to keep my PPM lower, or will it be okay this high with the Epsom?
Thanks,

it's cheaper if you just bail out some of the soup and replace it w/fresh h2o and you can save $$$ that way if you can use what you took out later. but holy shit how much of that shit did you put in? i cant believe that!!! did your levels in your res drop? that'll do it every time.

if they are stunted it will come back but it will add time to your flowering cycle and yes superthrive is good stuff but i dont use it anymore. i used it in my cloner but i'll let someone else chime in on this one cause i dont bother with it anymore.

no im gonna veg for a week or 2 . so should i still flood every 3 ? gonna go 18/6
that totally depends on how big you can let them/want them to get.i think 3 times per lights on would be fine maybe even 2 but if you have the space and want em' to get stupid, crazy big then give em hell buddy. it will take you a run or 2 before you get it figured out for your set up.:weed:

Dial your OP in before you think about co2. CO2 is great but there are lots of things to perfect about a normal op before moving up to CO2
