Hi there, Does anybody know any organic/ecological solution to get rid of ants ? I have neem oil but I'm not sure if that's gonna help. I also have this traps to put at home where they go in and bite or touch the poison to kill the whole colony but I wonder that using it in the garden will end...

Hi there, It's green with 6 legs, 2 antennas and 3mm long, here are some pics:

Thanks for the replies everybody :) I do have a jig saw and that what I used last time to make the hole but it's a bit difficult to make it strait so I wanted to know if there was any other way to do it. If the hole saw that size is that expensive and they require heavy dutty drill as stated...

Hi there, So is there any tool to make those holes, I want to make them to put the exhaust fan.

Well, not only the seed have shown sex after about 20 days but the three of them are females :hump: I'll be germinating some more as soon as possible to run some more test :)

Thanks everybody for your replies. Well, about the ventilation, I haven't decided yet but I was thinking about a T125 inline extractor 190m3/h with passive intake. What do you guys think ?

Hi there, I was thinking about buying a 150W hps light for a cab which is 35Hx23Wx19D approximately but I saw that a 250W hps cost more or less the same. I'm wondering if I could get the 250 instead of the 150 for this cabinet size.

Hi there, I thought that 150W hps used 150W of electricity but it seems that the ballast also consumes electricity and therefore I read that some 150W hps systems consumes 200W and other up to 300W. Could anybody confirm this information ? coz if it's true it may not be worth it to get the...

Hi there, I'm trying to decide which wood I'm going to use to make the cabinet. This is what I found so far: chipboard PROS: is cheap, comes in white so no reflectant needed, CONS: if it gets wet it won't last long (although the melamine helps with this) plywood PROS: more resistant...

Thanks for sharing your experience mate :) I'll keep going with this idea but I was thinking about adding a drum to my "project" or maybe even a pile to just put all the veg. scraps from the kitchen (and other stuff) without worrying that much about quantities and time. We'll see :) I also...

I didn't know you had to leave the horse manure for so long, I know it has been in a pile for awhile but not sure for how long so maybe next time :) About the active compost, I haven't got any other compost pile/tumbler, this will be the first try so can't add any.

Well well, I finally got a chance to keep growing so I put some of my lowryder crossed seed on the dirt :) this lowryders are lowryder#1 fem x lowryder#1 male. Both regular seeds and I want to know how they turn out. The thing is that I'm growing them outside and they are getting 12h of light...

Thanks for the replies guys :) I do have plenty of extra vegetables and plenty of extra dry plants, that's why I wanted to know if I could do it with those two components. Good point about shredding it, not sure how I'll do that but I'll give it a go and see what happends :) Thanks for...

Hi there, I'm about to compost for the first time and I was wondering if it would be enough to put vegetables (leaves, stems, fruits) for the nitrogen and dry plants for the carbon. Will it work with only those two things ?

I want couple of things really, one is to build an irrigation system where I get water from a pipe, and I'm wondering about the dripper size 2 liters per hour or 4l/h. Also the size of the pipe, but I think I'll get the 12mm one istead of the 16mm one. And the other thing is that I want to...

And what about the size ? which one do you think would be better ? 2l/h or 4l/h ? I can only get water during one hour a day (apart from the drums)

It's 50 m2 and I was planing on putting the lines on top of the soil. Well, if I could water with 400 liters a week it may be possible to get two containers instead of just one :) I have to ask in the shop if they have the pipes with the holes already made coz it would also be cheaper. But I...

Thanks for the reply k0ijn, I have grown plants in pots before and I use to water them half liter of water so I guess the ones outside will need more water. It's different to grow in pots than outside, also you don't need one dryper per plant, you can use one every two plants or one every 60 cm...

Hi there, I'm planing on growing vegetables outside (carrots, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, peas...). I was wondering which drypers will be better for this matter, the ones that are 2L/h or 4L/h or maybe get half of each ? Also I was planing on getting some 200l deposits (55 gal) to...
