    Custom made drainage trays

    Hi dude i had the same problem, never the right size so i built a plywood one and got a place that makes truck tarps to weld me up a pvc/canvas liner that fits inside the plywood tray. In one corner i cut a 4"hole then scewed a square of ply underneath, this creates a recess in which i drilled a...

    600w+ mover vs 2x 315w lec your thoughts?

    hi folks currently running several 600s of lightmovers and just wondering if id be better off to go to static 315w lec. The layout of my rooms I could get better coverage with 5x 315w then I do with 3x 600w, and the other I could swap 2x600 for 3x 315w. Im not concerned about any power savings...

    Shipping container grow rooms

    yea that thing will cook in the summer, the steel shell is a giant heatsink. burying them buffers the temp and its constant most of the year except the hottest month or 2. wish I had of sprayfoamed it but theres no diy option available here and being illegal here also its not like I can get a...

    upside down or not you still need to frame that bitch, those walls are flimsy and buckle easy. I didnt have the ability to flip it prior to the build so opted for a full steel frame out, Ive driven overtop with tractors and cars no worries at all no concrete just 18inch layer of clay/topsoil.

    Grrr...I need some help getting my clones to root!

    honestly some folk get too carried away with cloning, im a shit grower but a monster cloner. Ive had 100% success rates for years and at times cutting 2-300 at a time and every last one roots within 4-7 days. I dont sterilize etc and same blade gets used for months without changing or cleaning...

    How large does a mother plant have to be to produce (50) large clones every 3 weeks?

    with a single plant you will struggle to get consistant size clones, also its an all your eggs in 1 basket scenario- if mum gets sick or struggles your next grow is stuffed. I run 6 smaller mums under a 315 Lec (about 16" high after taking cuttings) and can take 70-90 near identical clones...

    Shipping container grow rooms

    we have lots of those over here, theyre used for Cow underpasses instead of walking them across roads. hellish expensive, the last farm I worked just put 1 in and to go accross an unsealed single lane road was just shy of 150k to install. each section is 20k as its high stregth concrete and...

    I dont want an underground swimming pool lol. I was contemplating same concept except side entry but time constraints didnt allow me to do so and wasnt keen on trying to waterproof any cuts and joins made like that, mine still leaked a bit where there was a small hole I missed but bitumous...
