    I already have the base for my new cab, it's the top of an old garden wooden picnic table that I horded on a while ago. it's slightly bigger than 2 ft by 2ft but it's the ideal base for an idea to take effect. yea I was thinking that with pc fans and hps would not be a good idea + the pc fan...

    Nasty will have to do, will a 120mm pc fan be able to pull trough that setup? I am planning on buying a proper fan + filter at xmas and building a slighter bigger cab to accommodate everything more for more comfort and I'm also planning on using my 250w mh + 250w hps bulbs once I get the bigger...

    I used something similar to onablock for my first grow, it was a cheap version but it worked out ok. filter hood material I never heard of that stuff, is it easily obtainable, I like diy jobs, I might just try your method out mate.

    My flowering space is pretty small for my liking, I would love to have another 4-6 inches deeper + wider because the last time I grew I had a few problems with the side lighting been too close to the plant + my osculating fan never got the full blast at the whole plant once it got bigger at the...

    Ok mate cheers, I switched the light back on at 4am last night and gave it another top mist, I only just switced the light off now at 1pm because this is when I want my dark cycle to begin so I'm going for an 18/6 cycle, when I switch back on the light this eve I 'll give it a thorough watering...

    My reasoning behind the misting is just like you said before about keeping the root searching for water. I thought that if I water the whole way through at the start it will grow a lot slower (for now). Anyhow I've started it this way so I'll keep it this way and I'll water fully right the way...

    Good point, The soil is fairly dry now, I turned the light off about an hour ago and I plan on starting the real light cycle tomorrow so I'll just keep top misting when I switch on the light (if it looks like it needs a misting) until it gets true leaves then I'll give it a real watering for the...

    I just want to say thanks to ghostdogalpha and R3l@X for the tips on the water issue. Now I don't have to worry about collecting rain water anylonger, lol I got one cracked and planted and it just broke surface today, took 48 hours to break surface.(I germed for roughly 24 hours until the seed...

    Cheers mate, I know yea but I don't want to ruin this grow, I am only really worried about the water that I'm going to use to germinate it in, I am going to use the shot glass method left on top of my router with newspapers under the glass so as the glass doesn't get too hot (my router gets...

    Yea mate, I noticed that the last grow the water I was putting in was sometimes going in at 6.5 - 6.7 (that was as close as I dare to try and get it at using the ph down, it was all too easy to put too much ph down in and ruin it). but it was coming out of the bottom of the pot at around 5.9-...

    Hi guys, I got a quick question regarding rain waters PH level. Do any of the you Irish lads use rain water and if so have you been collecting it recently? The reason why I'm asking is because the last 2 times I grew the water was testing at 6.8 (first grow about a year and a half ago), 7.2...

    Cheers for the reply mate, their both bagseed and I have no idea what stain they are either. I took 2 seeds out of a collection of around 25 seeds so these are real mystery seeds. They are in 2 lt pots, would I get away with leaving them in those pots for another week until I can get some more...

    Cheers for the reply mate, I'm kinda screwed so, I have no light mix left and I'm sure that I'm going to have to re-pot in the next week or even less (they are in 2 lt pots at the moment), if I put the bat mix into my 11 litre container and I leached the soil a couple of times and left it...

    It's much the same price here where I am for the same amount. Sometimes you can get 3gs for 50 but that's very rare here (normally it's 2.0-2.4 (max) for 50 and they'd have you believe that they are doing you a favor by adding an extra .2 or .3 grams for 50 (that's point 2 or point 3 grms by the...
