Do you guys think that if you are running digital ballasts,
would it be possible to set the light output to the lowest setting,
and slowly bring it up in wattage over a week?
Then possibly you could just leave the lights at normal height.
i clocked that idea of yours about the collar so the side roots are protected, and the extra water in the res, i have done it on my stand alone buckets, and it works a treat, great tip lost. my main problem is space. this limits what i can put in my space, no room for lots of fancy kit, chilers etc, i have digital thermometers in the buckets, and over the last 3 weeks or so the temps have got a bit high, 72f during the day and even higher on some days, so far the girls look ok, white roots no sign of rot etc, but it is a concern, in winter its ok i have to use aquarium heaters to get the temp up to about 65f, last week they hit 82f they are looking reaal healthy so far but i am worried. any tips on getting the temp down would be gratefully received.
Emphasis on what Lost just wrote. When you bring your vegged plants into your flower room, turn on ONE THIRD (1/3) of your wattage and raise them high.
Don't even try 1/2 wattage. You'll lumen shock your plants.
INFORMATION SHARE:sun2: Not sure if this is the best place to share this info. but it seems to be as per the thread title.
While researching a chiller I came across
I have no experience with this brand of chiller, but for the $150-$200 less than what most 1/2 HP chillers cost, I would be interested in anyone's comments who has experience with it.
Shipping is free and no tax unless in Oregon.

Wow, thanks for the kind words.
This is how I am currently doing it. I veg in 8 inch cocotek pots, with roots coco. I handwater every day. That way I know whats going on and I actually have to look at each plant daily. Once they are veg'd up and ready for the MPB, i add 2 inches of hydroton to a 5 gallon net pot lid 10 inch I believe is the correct size, and fill the basket with hydroton. This way I veg all my plants the same and if its not being used for a MPB, its east nuff to transfer to a 5 gallon coco bucket.
Remember that when you put these guysinto the mpb room, that the lights are at the cieling and maybe 2/3's of the lights should be off. Each day you will turn on another light, and maybe lower the lights a few inches a day. Plan to take at least a full week.
