Hi all. First grow here and I'm having low humidity issues that are causing my 2 week seedlings leaves to turn brown and crispy. My temp/humidity gauge doesn't record Humidity below 30% (I know it's crap!) so it's showing blank all the time however a bowl of water and a room humidifier haven't solved the prob. Maybe my exhust fan is too strong for my small grow? this must be common in Melb for this time of year? Any suggestions? 250HPS .5 x .5 x.8 grow tent Coco medium Thanks

Hi all, Rejigged my globe for horizontal placement in my grow drobe and it all looks good n all but i've got the globe abit too close to the roof and it's getting a bit toasted! (the roof) Can I put a few strips of Mylar tape up above the globe on the roof to stop the wood getting burnt or will the tape eventually get frazzled as well? Cheers John

Hey stoners have enjoyed being a lurker for the last month and have been soaking up plenty of advise from you lot in the hope of having my first successful grow soon! I know there's plenty of threads going round about grow set up but I just wanted to stick my head out and ask a few questions before I have a crack. I've been trying to shop smart, buying equipment here and there, some of which are second hand and I feel like I have most of the gear I need to do a very basic 1-2 plant grow (bar the tent which I am going to pick up whenever I successfully get some beans delivered! 0 from 3 attempts so far), but am concerned now whether I have jumped in and bought…

Sorry if this has been covered previously but... How important is light reflection? I know it is a must have but where should one draw the line regarding how big/fancy/expensive to buy? How do cool tubes compare to glass sealed units and how much of a temp difference can someone expect between these and traditional reflector? Is there any advantage to using reflective material under the canopy if light can penetrate it?

Hi there fellow enthusiasts! So a while ago I was sitting down and just thinking out loud about different forms of ways to bring natural sunlight into a grow area or living space, things ranging from hardcore installations I've seen on TV shows, professionally installed sunlights that you can expect to find in the average australian home or even some more DIY options. Anyway, today someone linked me something which was a really basic implementation of a DIY sunlight and I was curious as to if anyone from the OzStoner community has tried Hydro with natural lighting or even just thought about it? Attached is the really basic DIY sunlight I was linked today as a visual …

I've been given a bunch of globes but they weren't in boxes and I can't tell whether they are MH or HPS. Is there any way to tell just by looking at the globe?
