    300W DIY HPS light

    Thanks for the tip. That's the only closet in my house conducive to growing and it's not finished yet. This summer I'll be finishing it, then putting in removable updates so it'll double as a grow room. The nice thing is the temp is pretty constant. It's surrounded by rooms, none of the...

    300W DIY HPS light

    I first made a grow light with CFL's and posted a pic of it here: https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-fluorescent-lighting/778655-building-hydro-system-started-lamp.html Well, I got sick of questioning my CFL setup so I went to Menards and bought two of them 150W HPS outdoor flood lights. Modified...

    DIY CFL Fixtures

    Thanks man. Since that posting I've switched to the 2700K bulbs of the same wattage because my Auto NL started flowering. Electric bill barely moved, and these have very little heat output. If anything I may add a 5th and 6th socket in the middle, but for now it's good.

    Herbie's Head Shop. Question to people who have ordered there?

    I've ordered twice, back in January, both came between 10 days and 2 weeks.

    My second grow Kandy Kush

    Not really off topic, but my tap water (private well, not softened, no chlorinates) is really hard. 250ppm alkalinity as CaCO3. I homebrew so I'm a total nerd about my water. I have some Jack's Classic, but I'm not gonna start mixing that in until I've got a really good sized plant that can...

    My second grow Kandy Kush

    I'm jealous. Mine is 1.5 weeks old and doesn't look as good or full as yours. Of course, I did kinda screw up the germination. I had the paper towel part down, but I planted them in rockwool since I was planning on going Hydro, then I got scared and ended up planting in soil. So, I took...

    Overwater?

    So, when I stick my wang into the dirt should it feel completely saturated, or just damp?

    Cool, free t-shirt

    Placed an order of primarily Sensi seeds from Herbies and got a t-shirt a day before the beans. Now, how can I wear it without sending up this huge red flag... ;-)

    Calculate total PPM

    So, when people on here are saying they're at XXX ppm, that's the meter reading, but that's not an indication of where actual parts per million but more of a measurement of "shit in the water that supports electrical conductivity"? If this is the case, is there anywhere I can research...

    Calculate total PPM

    So I've been reading posts about nutrients (mostly for Hydro growing) and people saying they're at XXX ppm. My question, where is that number coming from? Are you just using a meter and that's what it says your water is at? Or is that the sum of all the individual nutrients all added...

    Notice of Entry - Renters Nightmare

    Think twice about putting the plants into an appliance. I'd bet the landlord owns those too, which would give them reason to check inside.

    Notice of Entry - Renters Nightmare

    That box idea sounds like a good one. Get a refrigerator box from Best Buy or something. If the LL asks, tell him it's full of Nunya (Nunya damn business) :bigjoint:

    Notice of Entry - Renters Nightmare

    Possibly a little late at this point, but has anyone ever thought of a decoy operation? Ya know, growing some tomatoes along with the good stuff, then if there's investigation (hopefully with some notice) just hide the good stuff in a cabinet or something for the short amount of time and...

    DIY CFL Fixtures

    I decided to start with the grow light. Since I'm a total DIY'er, I researched a bunch of ideas and decided to go with this one: Amp draw: 2800 lumens each give me over 10,000. Since I'm starting with only one plant I'd say that's enough. Also, for flowering I'm going to swap out...

    Building Hydro system, started with lamp

    Noob here, been doing a bunch of research. I decided to start with the grow light. Since I'm a total DIY'er, I researched a bunch of ideas and decided to go with this one: Amp draw: 2800 lumens each give me over 10,000. Since I'm starting with only one plant I'd say that's enough...
