Just starting to dive into this forum, looking to do my first grow and hoping to do it right :) So far this place is overflowing with knowledge, thanks to all who contributed to that.

Hi I wanted to introduce myself. Long time user but my first time growing. I am using a home made grow box made out of 2 30 gallon tubs, with 6 100watt cfl light bulbs and a computer fan to control flow. Has anyone used this set up, and has advice to share or problems to be aware of. I have been reading the grow bible but will probably refer back here. I would like to get clone to start off, what type of strain should I be looking for to grow in this sort of set up?

Thanks,
G

Hello all

My name is Jimmy Recard ( Pretty obvious right?) I had a profile on here with only 10 or so posts by the username "B&A" which I had deleted as I wanted a different username. I am planning to start my own SCROG grow in a homebuilt closet room sort of thing in the next couple months just waiting on a few things such as hydro equip which is near impossible to get without letting the police check your house whenever they want in my state. (South Australia)

Look forward to seeing you again I guess? Cheers

Hey guys, new grower here! I'm inexperienced but I have read for hours and I'm pretty intelligent. I was just curious if people visit this thread daily, because I will probably need some help down the road and this site has already helped me learn a good deal

Wow, I thought this forum was growing, its exploding instead. Welcome all of you. Make sure you 'pick a buddy' or two. Its simple , go look at the grow Journals, pick a couple that sound like the space your going to use and go visit their thread. Ask a question in their thread, I guarantee you will get a response. We are picture whore's here at rollitup, a picture is like a thousand words, with a picture, I can see what is happening and provide relevant information, and did I mention we like pictures......in your journal, please start one and invite the buddies you picked.

Page 130 of this thread has a post that tells you one way to upload pictures, there are others. Once again welcome to the forum. VV

The amount of information on this forum is amazing, people have turned hobbies into art and the results speak for themselves. i have been using this website regularly for a few months now just to get an insight into the process as i have been a regular smoker for a while but after reading "the botany of desire" i think im going to take the next step and grow my own.
I was looking for some advice as to the best way of growing outdoors but using lights as i live in London and its coming into winter here, I've come across a couple pages referring to growing in coolers and am thinking about using a standard bin with UFO LED'S attached to the lid running off a car battery and two hole cut in for ventilation.
A, Has this been done before/Is there a thread already on it.
B, Is there a better/cheaper method .

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Thank you =D

Lets see......hmmmm a car battery is 12 volts, and cars use alternators/generators powered by petro. So all you have to do is put a car in the room and run the car to power the light (lights) in a box to small.

Another way of looking at it, you will have to have the plant in some kind of container, lets say its 30cm and the light takes up another 20cm. You need some room for ventilation, another 30cm. Add all of that up and subtract it from the height of a standard bin.

Now, how tall can your plant possibly be?? No it has never been tried successfully....by a brand new grower.:blsmoke: VV

ec is electrical conductivity, a measurement of the Part/million (ppm) in your nute solution. You say you ph is from 5.6 to 6.5 that is quite a range, how are you determining that?? Soil should be 6.2 to 6.8, did I miss something?? VV
