Hello, I have a Titan eight light controller that is only running two lights, but it should be eight! Please excuse my lack of electrical knowledge but the two lights that are running, test at 113V between the ground and either wire and 220V between the neutral and hot wires. The other six...

So I came up with this brilliant idea of making a sound deadening sock for my new 5 ton... only to find out that they have been around for ages. I called up Excel Air and asked about these compressor blankets to see if there were any issues using them. They said to buy two of them and put one...

Electrical problem: It may have been the wind storms, but just to be sure, I thought I'd ask your opinion... I just had the service wires to my property blow off the pole in a shower of fireworks! I am running 20 lamps with two 5 ton AC's in a sealed room with associated water chiller, fans...

Just wondering if anyone has a great technique for extracting juice from leaves to get a Brix reading on a refractometer. Unless the leaves are bigger than my Shrek sized hand, it is difficult to get enough juice from the leaf material to cover the lens. Using multiple leaves can stress a plant...

I have been reading all sorts of intelligent debates on the good and evils of using Hydrogen Peroxide. In light of this I started to research the stuff. I had no idea that H2O2 occurs naturally everywhere. That is why rain water is so good for plants, the ozone breaks down into H2O2. If you...

Hello All, I looked for this place to introduce myself... and now that the smoke has cleared, I found it. Being a grower that is slowly 'coming out of the closet' (excuse the pun) has been a most liberating experience. Talking about things I love on public forums is down right strange after...

I feel like such an idiot for burning so much money every month, while I was being too obsessed with improving my techniques, I sometimes overlook other ways to be more efficient. I just ordered a "Time of Use Meter" to be installed on my property. I am shutting down my flip system and will...

I was just studying some techniques used by commercial tomato growers that use rockwool, and they had this to say regarding flushing with straight RO water... "Flushing with straight water after a plant has been sitting at normal or high EC is not recommended: it causes the plant cells to...

OK, I have talked to many self confessed experts on this subject, and many contradict each other. 1. Some say that the lamp cords should not be extended more that 30ft, otherwise, significant voltage drops will occur. 2. Some say they can be extended to 100ft, and that the drops in voltage...

Normally, my Co2 is controlled with a photo period switch that turns it off when the lights are off. Now that I have a flip system, there is no 'off' time and the 'off' room stays at 1800ppm. Is this bad for my plants, seeing as they do not consume CO2 during this time? Any intelligent...

I am tossing up whether to save money and buy a used chiller or spring for a new one ($500 vs $1,500 for a 1hp) Although I love having a warranty, I also love saving money and recycling when I can. Do these things work for years, or do they tire out like bulbs? Are the new models much more...
