    My First Indoor Grow Challange

    finished most of the painting of new box today and tommorow I hope to get all the fans and inlets drilled etc. I think it will be another 2 days before it's ready. The fan I put in broke so I found a good quality Zalman fan and replaced it with that, it's also nice and quiet. The plants seem...

    Do CFL lights need Shades?

    ok thanks for the feedback. It might be worth experimenting with these reflectors. I have a new box been built which is flat white paint but I might get some of that mylar sheeting later.

    My First Indoor Grow Challange

    Here is an update: The two small seedlings really just did nothing for several days and the small one nearly died while the larger, older plant powered ahead. I then decided to change the soil as I think it had too much bark in it and it looked to be stopping the seedlings from growing. I...

    Exhaust Pipes Material

    hi, yes I meant the silver tape. I have seen this before but wanted to know a bit more about it and what is? Is it fireproof or something and is this important to use for the exhaust pipe? So to make an exhaust pipe like this then I would need ro buy flex duct and some duct tape!

    Exhaust Pipes Material

    What is the silver material used in some peoples exhaust pipes? Is it vital to use this material and what is the reason that it is used? I know I have seen this using in kitchen exhaust pipes in the past so I guess it is the same thing. Here is a pic I found that shows one.

    Do CFL lights need Shades?

    truepothead, was your grow room open with no reflection from white walls or reflective material? I'm guessing they might not be needed if the light is bouncing of walls in a box but if they in in an open room then reflectors would make a big difference I think? What do others find works?

    6 1/2 weeds since 12/12 and little progress

    check out what others use in their soil, like perlite, coco etc before you replant.

    My box has 2 x 48 cool watt cfl (true watts) plus another 48watt natural and one small 15 watt. I have 3 plants in a 2 x 2 foot wide 6 foot box. Do I need to have my cfl lights with shades behind them like in this image (not my pic) ?

    Endless Supply from cloning 1 plant

    ok that's great to hear and it's interesting to know I could keep a mother plant for years as I thought they only lasted one season so I thought that indoors they would die off after flowering. So I guess I would have to stop the mother plant from flowering? Is there any good articles on...

    Endless Supply from cloning 1 plant

    Is it possible to keep cloning starting from one plant. Let's say I cloned this plant and got 5 clones started, could I then clone 5 new clones of one of those first clones and so on?
