Ive got a water question. What changed with RO filters over the last 5 to 10 years that caused them from being almost 1:5 sometimes to now 1:1 to 1:2 on waste? Filter tech?
The Membranes changed. You order them by water temperature and quality, so certain areas have certain membranes that work better and more efficient for them. Also technology and manufacturing, of course they're finding simpler more efficient ways of removing things in certain orders.Ive got a water question.

Thanks! What do you keep your plants humidity at during lights out ?Looking good just 1 note. Seeing humidity spikes after lights out. Be careful of PM.
I'm guessing we are talking UVA?Read an interesting article today , here it is but what intrigued me was this .
"The germicidal effect of UV light, however, diminishes at humidities greater than 70% and is low at humidities greater than 80%.27 Technical aspects have been described elsewhere.27,28"
Disrupting the Transmission of Influenza A: Face Masks and Ultraviolet Light as Control Measures
In the event of an influenza pandemic, where effective vaccine and antiviral drugs may be lacking, disrupting environmental transmission of the influenza virus will be the only viable strategy to protect the public. We discuss 2 such modalities, respirators ...www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Anybody reading this use UV from seed vs T5s?

Depends where ya live. 1000w per hr. X how many hours a day X how many days in the month. Then look at your electric bill to see the rate per KW/hrHey, super sorry if this is the wrong spot for this question, but I saw a ton of people on this thread talking about how they're running 1000w setups in a tent. Do you guys mind how if I ask how that is in terms of drawing power? So... I have a friend who can't necessarily attract attention in a condo, and just needs a little advice one when wattages start drawing attention.
Thanks!!
Makes sense, thank you man. Been a while since it has been indoor, much appreciated.Depends where ya live. 1000w per hr. X how many hours a day X how many days in the month. Then look at your electric bill to see the rate per KW/hr
A 1000w light will basically be 1kw per hr of use.
Anytime brotherMakes sense, thank you man. Been a while since it has been indoor, much appreciated.
Where I live electricity cost .15 Cents per KWHR so my 1000w hps cost .15 cents per hr to run x12 hrs per day =$1.80 per day = $54 per month + tax + fans & dehumidifier = close to $100 per month. This will get noticed in an apartment with everyone else being lower than you. I'd suggest LED's or lower wattage lights 1000watts is hard to hide.Hey, super sorry if this is the wrong spot for this question, but I saw a ton of people on this thread talking about how they're running 1000w setups in a tent.

Right- 1000w isnt too bad by itself, until you include a window AC unit, humidifier, fans, thats another 3400 or so and suddenly your bill has quadrupled.Where I live electricity cost .15 Cents per KWHR so my 1000w hps cost .15 cents per hr to run x12 hrs per day =$1.80 per day = $54 per month + tax + fans & dehumidifier = close to $100 per month.

Noticed by who? Unlikely a $100, $500, or even $1000 difference at an apartment would be an issue, as long as the bill is paid. Running 1000w hps, fans, even a/c, my bill is just $123.Where I live electricity cost .15 Cents per KWHR so my 1000w hps cost .15 cents per hr to run x12 hrs per day =$1.80 per day = $54 per month + tax + fans & dehumidifier = close to $100 per month.

Sure take a chance at growing in an apartment, If its legal wtf if not and you want to remain stealthy go to a lower watt bulb or LED. Or take a chance you bill won't attract attention its up to you. The folks here don't have to pay your fine or do the time if you get caught. I'm too paranoid to take chances like that.Noticed by who?

Last year this time, doing nothing, it was about $60.
No one is gonna say anything, or care about electric bill unless meter is bypassed
Bigger issue in apartments is smell and noise. Hell, when I was moving in to a spot once, my neighbor had a bag of Promix outside his front door. We all know no one is growing house plants with Promix. Stuff like that gets folks popped, not $200 electric bills
