    A little light from LEDs on a Fan?

    Yeah but these are like .5 lumens each probably and are different spectrums and colors - seriously?? I can't cover them up and I'd rather not cut the wires. If y'all say cut the wires, I will, but I'd rather not. I'd like to hear someone who has LED lights in their fans and has had no...

    A little light from LEDs on a Fan?

    I have a couple fans from my PC case I am planning to use to help ventilate my grow box.... The fans have these little LEDs to light up the fan and make it look cool - If those LEDs are on 24/7 even during my 12/12 dark cycle, will it screw up my plants? Will they think it is still light out...

    DIY Mini Chiller??

    FYI, I found them on eBay for $18 shipped and Fry's has them for $24 + tax, what a steal if it works!!! FYI, my res is only 3 gallons, maybe 2 - 2.5 gallons of water when full to the right height for my net cups... So it's not like I have a lot of water to cool... :)

    DIY Mini Chiller??

    If I circulate some 50' water into my 70+ degress res, it certainly WILL work. It's just a question of how much water I can cool, how long it takes to get cooled, and how quickly I move it in and out of the res. I agree it will take some experimenting and I likely won't get guaranteed results...

    DIY Mini Chiller??

    OK, 60s to 70s no more no less. Got it. Since there is no thermostat or adjustable knobs on here, I think what I could do is vary the pump power and also the lenght of the cable until I get the right temp of water coming in to cool the res the right amount to get it to 60-70. For $30, how...

    DIY Mini Chiller??

    I'm thinking this would work - Basically it uses a peltier chip which should need no introduction, so one side gets super cold and the other side hot - thus the heat sink. Anyways, this looks already pre-assembled, all I'd need to do is drill two holes (one in, one out) for some 3/8" hosing...

    bubbleponics superior to aeroponics

    LOL, this thread just forced me to post that pic, sorry! :) I will say one comment - If you cannot start with a Seed, then Aeroponics is NOT (CAN NOT POSSIBLY) be for beginners as they will be beginning from scratch/seed, not a clone. :)

    Hydro w/out Nutes??

    Oh ok, well like I said, it will just be the initial week. I'm glad to hear you did 3 weeks w/out nutes - I know I'm safe. I do realize in Hydro there's essentially no way to get nutes into the plant w/out nutes in the water - there's no soil to help compensate for what the H2O lacks. THANKS!

    bubbleponics superior to aeroponics

    MC, yes, of course we all know that. Now remember this - Hot air is EXPANDED aka HIGH PRESSURE air. Attic air will RUSH into a LOW PRESSURE aka COOL(er) air (growing) area. I agree with IS here - If you cut a hole in your ceiling, you're likely only to get Hot air coming down not Hot air going...

    how to fix the signs of overwater

    If they are recovering when the lights are off and wilting at the end of the light cycle, and if it didn't happen when you watered or didn't water, I'm thinking it could be heat stress (from your lights). Where did you measure the air temp from and was it at the end of your light cycle?

    Hydro w/out Nutes??

    Is it possible or will the plant die? If the plant will die, how long from germination can it go with just water+oxygen+light? I will be using the bubbleponics system (bubblers + light water on rockwool) and will use pH balanced water initially... I want to use Nutes obviously, but I'm...

    Roseman's Closet-Grow Tutorial

    Oh ok, cool! Good to know - I'll do the same. Probably try to let them drip/air dry for a while then will douse/pre-soak them in ~5.9 pH and then eventually put them into the cups and begin. :)

    Roseman's Closet-Grow Tutorial

    Hey Roseman, looking good!! I'm just about 3 days behind you, as my seeds TODAY have just begun to crack open (at least 2 of them). I wanted to share a quick thought on seeds while we're all on the topic: That is, I had these 2 seeds (don't know what they are but they are from a "Club" in...

    Roseman's Closet-Grow Tutorial

    Woah, WTF!?! I had no idea. I bought some rockwool from someone on eBay who had a lot of it, so it didn't come in its own individual wrapping and there was no warning. I seriously had no idea, but Roseman you may have just saved my life man! Thanks for this warning, I bet a lot of others here...
