Hi all, I am about to start my first grow and have a couple questions. I bought a lot of gear 3 years ago and never got around to using it. I have a bag of FF Ocean Forest soil that has been in my garage unopened for 3 years along with a bag of perlite and some FF grow big, big bloom, and...

Ok, so I am about to start my first grow and wanted to do a journal while doing it. I do not understand the difference between the grow journal section and grow journal discussion section. I see a lot of discussion in most grow journals. I think it would be a lot easier to do it all in the...

Ok, so I have seen lots of threads on here and other forums about what to do once you get Spider Mites, but I was hoping to find out how to prevent them from ever getting into a crop. I am about to start my first grow. My veg and flower boxes will be in my spare bedroom. The flower chamber is...

Hey, I have some 42W SLI Lighting Lynx TE 4pin CFLs that are 3200 Kelvin. I am wanting to use some of these for my grow but do not know how to hook them up since they do not have a screw base like most other bulbs I have seen. Any links or ideas for this? I have been searching but only found...

So, I am currently about to start my first grow... just finishing up building the veg and flower boxes now. I live alone and work during the day, so I am concerned about bad things happening with the grow while I am away, like a fire. I am setting it all up in a closet in a spare bedroom in my...

Ok, so I have been trying to come up with a way to use some 120mm 90CFM PC fans to exhaust a 2'(L) x 2'(W) x 4'(H) Vegging box. I will be using a passive intake and a 250W MH. Here is my idea, what do you think? The PC Fans would be light trapped and would be exhausting out of the box. The...

Hey RIU, I have a question about Bongs. I currently have a nice Bong that has done me well for about 3 years that I got at a local smoke shop. In browsing the forums, it looks like a lot of people have quality glass pieces and for the amount I smoke I figure I should upgrade. I just bought a...

I am trying to find a hood to cool a 400W HPS. The space is going to be 5' (L) x 2' (W) x 6' (H). I was originally going to go with a cool tube from HTG but read that you get better reflectivity from an air cooled hood, so I am trying to decide between HTGSupply's EasyCool 6 (...

Does anyone know if you can use the Stanley Blower mod for cooling a 6" cool tube for a 400W HPS? I plan to hook the 6" duct to the intake on the blower and let it pull cool air through the tube over the light and out the box. The blower would be outside the box pulling the air and blowing it...
