    Does A Day/night Fan Speed Controller Exist? Not Temp Controlled

    Based on your diagram and from a DIY standpoint, visualize this; you "split" the timer output feed (120v or 240v) and route that to your mystery box. That box is a relay/contactors and the 120/240v feed activates the contactors coil to switch to that feed. When the timer AC feed is "off", the...

    Exposed Lights Or Reflectors ?

    Vertical is fine, but like anything, pluses and minuses. Heat control/airflow/filtering requirements go up = $$$, even if the infrastructure supports it. Also, vertical scrogging -can- be trickier, so the grow itself needs to be designed with vertical in mind. It also can be simpler to...

    DIY Cloner .. is my pump too small?

    Well, one thing I learned is that the tubing I've used gets way stiff after about a year. Who cares - it's cheap!

    Perpetual Growers Please Help

    I'll add a combination suggestion/caveat to all of the above. Like TTY I run a multistage (4-ish) continuous grow based on around a 2-3 week cycle. As others have warned, pests/infection are a very real consideration with continuous grows and something I have had to do battle with myself...

    BHO winterization purge question...

    Thanks! I was thinking along similar lines and have already started a batch, after getting the butane down to the smallest of "whipped froth micro bubbles" and then adding my alcohol to redissolve. I just assumed that any remaining butane should purge along with the alcohol at the next stage.

    Sick of being overcharged for Butane

    In my area we have a couple cigar shops that also supply glassware. They have case pricing that is on par w/online after factoring in shipping vs. local taxes etc. and often stock 6-7- brands! Might want to look into that possible option in your neck of the woods.

    BHO winterization purge question...

    Quick question - is there any real negative as to how far you go with the initial BHO purge if you are then winterizing (in my case 2-3 times). I'm wondering from the standpoint of time as well as need. It may be a moot point when I eventually build/go with vacuum purging, but for now... Opinions?

    12K - 5tons - CO2 - LAB

    DON'T delete this thread; it's useful. Start another like "12K - 5tons - CO2 - LAB PT. II" :-)

    DIY "Arena" style VSCRoG v2.0

    Some photo updates - 6 of the plants are in the 60-65 day range since flip. There are 6 strains as well so comparisons aren't applicable on this run. With future runs my goal is to have 3-4 of a same strain/plant age at any given moment.

    DIY "Arena" style VSCRoG v2.0

    I actually did that (duplicate unit), just not enough floor space, but it is a functional method/model without a doubt. I also created a single "side" on a wood flap (pot width) that via 4 screws can be swapped loaded. Awkward but do-able. Still tinkering and wishing I had about 4' more floor...

    DIY "Arena" style VSCRoG v2.0

    Well, my 2 piece unit was built on a concept of rolling out/exchanging another "half" from the veg area to allow just that, but relative to my current space layout (or lack thereof) I haven't been able to use it that way. I have found that the 4 non-scrogged plants can usually be rotated into...

    DIY "Arena" style VSCRoG v2.0

    Also, I fully admit to still being in an analysis mode relative to slow grows,trees and hedges versus denser, "younger/smaller" SOG style (vertical or otherwise). Since I've spent a challenging last year with other grow issues, now that things are reasonably stable, I am still experimenting and...

    DIY "Arena" style VSCRoG v2.0

    Not to the degree you are attempting, no. My short term goals were to expose much more colas, with less LST work and maximizing light within a near zero budget. ;) Also note, this is "v2.0" and some of your experiment may well integrate into "v3.0"!

    Well...not on purpose... :-) I also had a Thrips infestation about 6 mos. ago that created some really unusual stress, which in the long run, created some nice bushes as a result! Not a recommended method however ;)

    Here's my minor contribution; my Blue Dream mother. Almost a year old, about 41/2' tall and nearly 3 foot wide "bush". A 5g Smart Pot as a reference.

    DIY "Arena" style VSCRoG v2.0

    Not on my end - with the exception of one "faster hybrid" my grows are slow and only one of those plants is within about 10 days from cut. The rest on the scrog have 6+ weeks average remaining and the inner/free standing are all ~30 days or less from having been flipped.
