    Advice needed: Stealth Scrog Cabinet

    The box is light tight, there's black painted cardboard and mylar on top of that backing up the screen and weather stipping along the edges. The mylar isn't so wavy anymore, I stapled it pretty snugly. My question with a vented hood or cool tube is how to get that heat out to the bottom of...

    what do you call it?

    If you are trying to design this, I guess I would use a timer and 1 relay. Plug the timer into an electical recepticle, set it for the 12 hour on/off. The 110 volts from the relay connect to the relay 'switch' When the timer goes on, voltage goes to the relay, activating the magnet and the poles...

    Advice needed: Stealth Scrog Cabinet

    Hello all of you nice people. I've three plants (2 WW 1 NL) Vegging in a closet under 400 watt MH (switchable ballast). Recently, I learned that the owner of the house I've been babysitting wants to move back in and I will have to be moving. Currently in the process of buying a house 'in...

    My First Grow lol *sigh*

    So you think I should just skip the floros and put them under MH? Hypothetically, as if the plants were still green, that is. I had the t5's 3-4 inches from the tops before the 'incident', so maybe those bulbs are just too weak, I didn't want to cook them with my 400 watter until they grew...

    My First Grow lol *sigh*

    \ Yeah, I know. The seed banks sent me 25 mystery seeds to play with and I have 4.5 cubic feet of Fox Farm Ocean sitting here, but I'm just too damned smart to try anything the normal way, heh. After spending over a grand on lights meters nutes medium and whatever else looked cool there...

    My First Grow lol *sigh*

    First, I made a box: I germed seeds in water with a tiny bit of superthrive and clonex. Everything sank nicely and cracked mostly in the first 24 hours. Stuck them down in rockwool about 1/8th of an inch. Within 3 days I had 6 seedlings poking their heads through. Placed...

    First time grower, first time cfl grow

    Here is a link to the Overgrow FAQ (RIP) that someone had the foresight to save. I've ripped that portion of the website myself and would recommend everyone have a copy of the FAQ in their arsenal. Lots of good stuff in there, cheers.

    You probably don't want your plants to touch - mold issues. And as Be More Curious said - you will need good ventilation. I would have to suggest looking up Sea of Green (SOG) to see how others have grown shitloads of plants in tiny areas. Blacklight? ...search on that issue as well... not...

    42 days of flowering sounds pretty damned short. 80% of thingies turning brownish..Do you mean hairs or tricomes? 80% of hairs may be ok, but watching the tricomes is a better option. If you search this thead, Masterofgenetics gave a good breakdown on tric color. The trics (crystals) go...

    Hi, smokin' I may have led you astray on my assumptions of vertical vs horizontal bulbs. You WERE CORRECT that if a bulb is DESIGNED to be vertical, it WILL burn out prematurely if it is placed in a horizontal position. Sorry for the confusion.

    Easiest Home Made Cloner and plans/ cloning techniques

    These are the directions for the 10k aero cloner, which generated a lot of positive reviews on the Overgrow forums, when they still existed. This is taken from the FAQ which I had saved along with some other choice threads. I won't bother to upload all the pictures. Hope this helps. Props to...

    Trichs change color after curing?

    From another thread here Clear trics are uppity Cloudy trics are heady Amber trics kill pain Maroon trics put you on the floor. I'm sure it has much to do with sativa vs indica as well, but it would seem the underlying effects of the plant can be altered to some degree by harvesting at certain...

    sex then veg

    Yes, it is possible. I have never done it but have been assured it will work. From what I gather, you will sex them under 12/12, cut them back and switch the lights back to 24/0 or whatever you prefer to veg under and the plants will begin to take off again. In one grow I read through, the guy...

    Corn field grow

    Hi, you will definately want pots. Unless your friendly farmer is totally organic, he will be spraying or will have sprayed broadleaf killer on his corn. If you look at a cornfield, you will notice there is not a whole lot of vegetation growing that is not corn. I guess I'm trying to say...

    How do I water my remote outdoor plots?

    Something I have been mulling over in my head for awhile is buried milk crates (or something milk crate like). Dig a hole the depth of a milk crate and open it up to the width and lenght of your desired resevoir. Line the bottom and sides of the hole with black plastic, or rubber or something...

    the twin towers method, and letting nature do the work

    That is a nice tip, simple, and logically it seems a perfect source of nutes for the conjoined twin. Got me wondering about using culled males and trimmings to make an organic tea, the nutes would seemingly be perfectly balanced...hmm.
