    Your thoughts on my DIY RDWC hose/pump sizes and plumbing methods pls

    I've been doing research and reading guides on RDWC, but I've come across some inconsistencies that I'm hoping to clear up here. Basically to do with hose and pump sizes and plumbing methods. I want to avoid unequal flow rates(drain and fill) among my buckets, as well as them overflowing due...

    RDWC-Do I need a rez, or can the controller be the rez?

    Hey just wondering if I'm doing a 10, 5gal bucket recirculating DWC, can a 14gal(53liter) rubbermaid be used as my controller AND rez? If I don't have to have a separate rez then that would be sweet. I don't mind topping it off every day if that's what it will mean. Thanks

    Which Metal Halide Bulb for Lumatek 600w MH/HPS E-Ballast?

    I just received my new Lumatek 600w. Interestingly it has options for 300w 400w 600w and Super Lumen. Even the instructions that came with it don't even say it can go to 300w!! What's up with that? Is mine really that new? My instructions DON'T say anything about NOT using a 400mh....that...

    Where to stick it? Options other than rockwool for clones?

    I'm a noob, so any thoughts or tips on my setup, or anything I say is mucho appreciated. I'm just curious what all the options are, as for what to put clones in after you cut them? I know rockwool is the most popular, as well as soil, but what else? I assume my growing method is what will...

    Do I need to feed(nutes) my outdoor plants after mixing initial nutes into soil?

    I'm a noob and I'm reading and learning as much as I can, but I'm still a little confused on soil and nutes. I've found quite a few soil recipes(organic) online that call for bat guano, bone/blood meal, worm castings etc... to be added to regular top/potting soil. Now my question is, are...

    Anyone shopped at MonsterGardens.com?

    lol, now that you say that I can see how I came across as such....but trust me, I am far from. I'm just a poor newbie trying to find the best deals on supplies, and for Secret Jardin tents they seem to be cheapest online. But knowing there are some less than honorable grow shops online, I...

    Anyone shopped at MonsterGardens.com?

    Just came across them today. They have some great deals on tents and good prices on other things I've checked. Only problem is they don't seem to have a reputation yet, and I can't find any review or anyone mentioning buying from them. So I thought I'd ask here

    What can I say I'm growing, that grows like weed but is legal??

    I'm a newbie and so I like to ask questions to help me learn. Obviously going around asking people questions, then answering "pot" when they ask what I'm growing, is not a great idea. So I was wondering if there is a legal alternative I can substitute for weed when asking general growing...

    S&P TD-125 Fan Hookup help

    I'm thinking about purchasing this fan too. From reading the online installation manual, it would seem it needs to be wired up, either permanently or to a 120v cord and plug. I'm going to call them, but it would be nice if they could include a 120v cord and plug, even if we need to wire it up...

    Best MH bulb and best HPS bulb for 1000w dimmable lumatek ballast?

    Old thread I know, but it came up in my search. But anyways, a question for Bobsgreen; How do you find using the dimmer and bulb life? I've heard dimming bulbs not only shortens their life, but you aren't exactly getting what you think. Ex. Running a 600w bulb on a 400w setting will give less...
