Dialing the room in, is everything...we are Mother Nature at that point.

the 400 set at 11 hours on 13 off, 1K set 9 hours on 15 off. both lights on for 9 hours.

this is my simulation of daybreak and sunset and full light.

That's interesting, have you noticed do any improvements in yeild or quality using this method?

Keep exhaust at 4x maybe 5x a minute for clones/babies (low!), domes for only first 2-4 days til germ/poppage.

@phases gnatrol worked perfectly for me been FG free since using it. 5.5 grams per gal for heavy infestation the first watering/feeding. Then like 2.3 grams next two feedings/weeks put yellow traps down for the adults. In 2/3 weeks FG fee ....

Suppose I'll make that my tip also .
Add one 325 mg aspirin per gallon of h20 in veg
Og biowar is good shit

Know a little about the strain and genetics as well, for indoors at least. Growing something that produces shit can be just as bad as growing nothing at all. KNOW YOUR SHIT.

Yeah I hear the og biowar is good shit - going to have to check it out and see if my local hydro store has any on hand.

Also have to get some new yellow sticky strips and check out gnatrol -

Www.ogbiowar.com discount code farmer
Another little tid bit if you buy all 3 you get free shipping so the nute pack which gets used way less than root and foliar just order a small nute and its basicaly free on the shipping saved ( yea fuck the periods, a English major I'm not)
Thinking cap should sign me up as a rep

The foliar pack is your bug destroyer but like everything else it needs to be used in rotation

not yet. just finished building room.
it was more about disguising lamp timing signature than imitating outdoors, but the imitation part sounded more interesting...

That's actually a really good idea! Make it so not all the lights are flipping at same time, where I am at they have like different rates for different times of the day, so by running lights from say 6-6, most of the power is used during the cheaper time of day(night in this case) - also in the winter I reverse my exhaust so that I am pulling air through carbon filter through 3 vented lights and then into my bedroom, keeps me warm at night and saves on heat..

Only down side is it is getting a little humid, gotta get a better dehumidifier I think.

Do you guys concern yourselves with the tracking of power consumption ?
