You arent saving much by turning off wall fans. Those run less than an amp.
I cant think of a single reason I would turn mine off over night. You want air moving at all times to prevent bugs from nesting and to keep moisture from building up on your plants.
I can think of a bunch of reasons to run fans over night, but I cant think of a single reason not to

i concur ts

Hey jack. I know you run your day time temps at 85 during veg and stretch and then 80 weeks 4-7. What do you run for night temps during stretch and then weeks 4-7? Thanks.

So, I'm sure you are constantly tweaking your grow, Jack, but I wonder if you are coming to any conclusions as to which base is best with aptus, which mix of medium is best in your opinion, so on so forth. Just trying to get a peek into the scientist's mind. ;)

Hey Jack what size pots and medium are you using for your mother stock? Any chance of a mother and clone room pic with specs?
Pot size depends on size of mom, All moms are in pure cana COCO and we keep all moms and cuttings sterile.

Jack do you leave your wall fans on at night? Sometimes I put mine on a timer just to save some $ and haven't noticed any difference.. What do you think?
Yes we leave them on fans are to circulate air why would we want to stop that at night.. Air flow is important during the day and night..

Not sure would need more details like line size we use all 1" pvc and 1 hp pumps..We have drilled and removed the washer inside the octa bubblers for more flow.. JACK

I've been following this thread since the beginning. Would like to say thanks for all the salient information. You've been quite generous to say the least.

I've got one question regarding the Octa Bubblers. What size do you use? I've repeatedly looked closely at all the pics and it appears to be the red ones at 10 gph. I'm sure you've covered this but for the life of me I can't find it. I know you've mentioned more than once that you remove the pressure compensating washers for more flow.

Thanks again for all the time you've put in sharing your operation. Believe me I've reaped the benefits.
10 GPH OCTA Bubblers
Jack how do you guys extend your ballast power cords to reach the light timer? Do you DIY and splice them with extensions, or does your electrician run lines with outlets close to the ballasts so there's no need?

What light timers do you use anyways, I don't think you've ever really touched on this..


Keep it up man, you're really sparking a revolution!

And making caps a ton of cheddar, hahahaha... Jk.
Lately we have been running Solistek Matrix but this has been covered they have built in timers.. We do not run extension cords we put the outlets in series and build racks to keep the ballast above the lights there are pics on here...
Sick sick thread. respect Jackmayoffer.

We shoot for mid to high 70 in veg and mid flower and low 70 late flower..

Heavy 16 plus Aptus in pure coco has given us are best results,With OG BIO WAR tea...But we also have good results with Cana and Aptus with Chow Mix...

ever test 660nm led supplemental lighting on a section? IME it's best situated as high up as you can put it (well, no higher than 12 feet from canopy). really don't need as much wattage as you'd think. i'd give you my supplemental panel but I'm about to test it with a 830w ceramic metal halide vs 1000w hps

Been running the double dose fasilitor in dwc. Working freakin great. It foams up a bit when first mixed and thrown in the dwc tray. The plants look better than ever though. Crazy.

hello jack i just saw your another amazing thread under current in ********* and i have got some questions :

* it looks like u didnt have duct work coming out from the furnace ?
maybe its a good idea not to have duct work so dont have any resistance on the air flow and maximize the air flow efficiency because u have lots of oscillating fans anyway that mix the air and make the air temperature even.
on the other hand
in this room u do have duct work !
what do u think ?

* r u still using the u.v light ? do u believe it really helpful ?

thx for the good info
DROR.
