thanks joker, ill have to do more research online to try and find em i guess, i am struggling with temps in the box every time i try to add more light, it is getting hotter outside all the time. i am going to have to add a larger breaker because i trip the one i have when i get all my lights...

hello, Here is how my lil box grow is going, my plants seem to have picked up a bit. i added an intake fan to try to help drop some temps. i cut back the light some also to try to drop the temp because it seemed to be wilting the leaves( maybe the bulb is to close?), but they seems to be...

If this will supply enough nutrients for the plant i am going to use it on my mother plants, on a larger scale under better lighting, but i will prolly keep this one going as well, but i want to see that it works before i dump alot of money into lgihting. i will prolly need more light to make...

hello, I have upgraded my fishtank set up some. I changed the fish to a single male beta. I added a grow tank wraped in foil tape to block light, and i put a pump to cycle the water. The pump was $8.99 at the hardware store. the new fish plus fish food was just over $5 so now the total cost...

thanks all for input, i had planed on getting a small pump and cycleing the water like you have suggested. i just wanted to check and see if this way would work, mainly due to he cheapness of it. i am concerned about the light, so i have a mini dwc system i may convert to a flood and drain. ill...

Hello, This is my version of aquaponics. I found a fish tank and remebered a YouTube video I saw with weed growing in it, Figured I'd try it out, cheap enough, no nutrients only fish and food. well here it is any ideas critisisms, anything I am open for suggestions and help. This is going on 3...

thank you for your input, i went about my grow all wrong i guess. i figured id give this a try before spending money on seeds, i just used bag seed. i plan on doing as you say soon as i raise more money, although i am extremely leery about buy seeds online, any suggestions there? I am using a...

Hello, I am an all out DIYer, I have homemade almost every area of my grow. I think it looks good, from he lights to the hydro systems, to the net cups the the ventilation system, now i am onto the carbon filter. I have spent most of the night sifting through the DIY section of RIU looking at...

You have a link to this, $30 is worth it if it will stay cool. thank you all for help, i will post more pics when i get this figured out, plants look kinda sad right now. the soil to hydro conversion set em back a bit, plus a little wilting due to the heat i think.

thank you for looking. i have since came up about an inch from the bottom of the cone and cut the bottom off. in a couple of the largest plants there is a noticable difernce in the way the roots grow, i will be doing a nutrient change when my hps arrives so we will see how it goes with a...

thanks for your input Ill have to check it out some to see what effect a filter will have on the plant.

would getting a filter help me out?

ok good i spent quite a chunk of time installing it. i had a passive exhaust, then added another fan, that brought the temps down about 5 degree over all, but they still in mid to low 80's i'm thinking of getting a larger exhaust fan, but i have been runnig a/c in my trailer last 2 days, WOW...

i have put one 42 watt cfl in there rigth now, with 2 4 inch fans, the cheap massey walmart ones, exhust and intake, and i can not keep it under 80 during the day, should i take the reflective balnket out, would that help the temp?

that is what hte lady at walmart told me, mind you i didnt say i had a pot plant growing on top, but i dint mention the size of aquarium i had, just that it was my first go with fish. thank you also for your input the fish seem to be trying to eat my roots

thank you , if this method does not work i plan to give that way a shot where i build and ebb and flow type of system, but i am hoping that the dwc type of aquaponics will work, it is very simple. tanks again for helping

i have an air pump with a 1 inch air stone. will a single beta or maybe an oscar work? i really like oscars. i went with gold fish cause they are 28 cents, you know incase it didnt work.

hello, i saw a version of this on youtube. so i tried it. i had a small fishtank around and went to wally world and got 4 lil gold fish. i cut a sytrofoam chunk out to hold my plant and put a clone in the water. although nothing has died, it has only been goin about 24 hrs thus far, the...
