Yeah, I know.  I'm not and wasn't doing that type of gardening either.  "Herbs" are not the only application for the equipment, although I dont have anything against it.   I was moving towards creating a low power sustainable pod for growing winter food, but priorities have changed.  Prices are...

Here we go again...   Up for sale is the both of them, this time for 1250 shipped.  This is barely used Pro650 that should carry the balance of the warranty (4 yrs more I think) and a ES330 (should also have 2 yrs).  This price is LESS than you would get a Pro650 for, so please be kind when...

Lots of views and barely one interest.  Is there any way short of creepycraigslist to sell these things? Its a shame they're not getting any use and I'm starting to think that the market might be the Denver classifieds...lol.  They still work great and have years of constant running life left. ...

I hope this is the right forum.   You can research the specs, and they're not hype.   The es330 has about 6 months of time on it.  I've had it for about 2 years and its shelved.  The controls are a little touchy/sensitive when dialing in red/blue settings, otherwise it runs just fine and...

Vinegar, water, soap in a dish works to interrupt the cycle by killing the adults  You can add some cinnamon to the top of the soil to get the larvae to die off.  It will kill some of the fungus that they feed on in the top inch of soil.  Let the soil dry out a bit to kill them off too.  You can...

I was doing some searching trying to determine how the moisture from upper trays dripping on lower lights is dealt with.  I still haven't found a straight answer, but I guess that a gfci protects you in case of a short situation.  I just hate this kind of thing because I will be leaving this...

I'm planning to put the peppers in the ground.  I'm not sure if I'll dwc the peppers, but lettuce can be harvested pretty regularly and wont require too much for nutes.  I want something that is ready fast.  I know that peppers will grow like mad in that too.  I may do a couple of my ghosts and...

I'd like to dwc some lettuce this year but I want to run it outdoors.  My deck is a great place for something like this thats almost self-watering and lettuces grow really fast.  A friend of mine had an experimental setup last year and he had used a 5g bucket over top of the pump and power plugs...

That light above is a mass produced unit sold by 3 Chinese companies who outfit it with different casings but it contains all the same parts.  HTGsupply sells a lot of them.  They work, but you would be better suited buying some Flouros to run your shelves.  We don't need the intensity that some...

"yet" is what bothers me.  Some lights are good for wet locations, but I don't know what the difference is.  I'd love to feel safe with a multirack system.  I have seen others do something similar to this without issues.  at the bottom, I'd think they'll act like heat mats too.

Are those lights safe at the bottoms of the trays where water/moisture can reach them?  I see setups like this often, but mixing water and electricity bothers me.  Nice configuration tho.

Next thing we'll see is somebody using their heated bathroom floor to germinate.

I didnt have a fan.  Cool thing about the Lumigrow is that it has fans that move quite a bit of air.  The T5 is pretty nice, but I also wanted something with a better coverage area and its a 2G11 bulb base thats a double fixture about 14" long.  It wasnt a traditional tube that I could run for...

Thanks for the diagrams, thats actually something important to ponder. The house was built in 92.  The computer, has a 450w supply and a LCD monitor, and all of that equipment draws around 1.8amps tops on the KW.  The ceiling fan is a smaller one and the lights are cfl.  I had the wall open at...

peroxide can help in small amounts.  It wont damage anything. 

so do you think less than 10amp continuous is safe?   I'm surprised how much powah it eats to run some LED.

Passive cooling from bottom to top will usually do the trick if your ambient air outside the tent is much cooler, otherwise, there wont be movement.  Its important to state what that air temp is too.  As the overall humidity increases, it will make it more difficult to cool.  Get an inline duct...

In getting everything set up for the coming season, I start stuff indoors to get the jump.  I was doing some research since I will be using some new equipment this year.  This year, I have a Lumigrow Pro650 and a 100w T5 fixture.  I have a Killawatt used to measure the draw and calculate costs...

Dont waste your time with the cheap-o panels. Get some HO T5's instead for that number of plants. You can get units online or build them from home depot now. Alphahydroponics sells Fluorogrow units and they're very well built. For LED, unless you're willing to spend big bucks on a unit thats...

Damn Nature, You Scary! FWIW, I've heard if you keep the webbings down, they starve because they dont spin it fast enough to recover to get food or they'll move on.
