    Project "Grow Box"

    I ended up putting the fan below the box and having it draw the air out from inside the box. I also took aluminum foil and made a make shift hood for the top of the box. And well, I have actually seen some growth since I switched over to this. It still isn't like what I wanted but, it's an...

    Project "Grow Box"

    I was doing a hydro/aero setup and it works very well. I just do not have the funds to buy all the nutrients and root protection stuff from the shop and a ppm & ph meter right now. I had these "Big Bang" seeds and wanted to get them going. I was going to just grow them and then clone and...

    What's the problem with this plant?

    Nope, I started these in January, and this is how far they are as of today. I did have them in a hydro setup that was mistreated and all the water evaporated. It did have some "bloom" nuts in the water during that cycle. The water had a 7" air stone in it, plus a pump that would drip onto...

    Project "Grow Box"

    I'm trying to keep the heights down. From the bottom of the box to the bottom of the lights (which is also where the grid starts) is about 10" from the bottom of the box. When this box in on top of the res, the total distance from the tops of the net cups to the bottom of the lights was a little...

    Project "Grow Box"

    Hi everyone! Just wanted to show off my grow box and get some comments on it. The dimensions are 2' x 2.5' x 1.5 (5 square feet) I have 8 27/100 CFL sprial lights in it now. I used aluminum foil for the reflective material in the box. This box is cut out on the bottom to fit...

    What's the problem with this plant?

    I have two plants just like that. But, they are about 4 months old and havn't grown any taller than pictured. I water then when the soil is dry and they just look nasty. I am just using water, no nutrients or anything. And this is what I have.

    Project: Low Cost, Low Watts, High Yield

    Yes, they are small. Maybe I'm watering them too much. Those were trials. I have my medical seeds on standby. I got all my parts today to build two units using two 18gal plastic tubs. 4 net pots per tub and a 12" long air stone for each one. A single air pump to drive both stones and two...

    Project: Low Cost, Low Watts, High Yield

    Thanks for the advice guys!!!!!!!! I found a local hydro shop (finally) and after talking with them I have decided to ditch the LED panel. I will keep taps on that tech and maybe if I have time in the figure I will make my own with quality LEDs. I decided to just go with two 18 gal tubs...

    Project: Low Cost, Low Watts, High Yield

    I don't want to buy, I want to grow. The point of the top bucket is to encapsulate the growing area. This will allow me to control the temps, humidity and air flow much easier than just keeping it open. As for the LED panel, I have not found much information on them. But, I swear by LED...

    Project: Low Cost, Low Watts, High Yield

    Hi everyone, this is my first post. New to the site and been searching it all day. I figured this would be the best place to post what I am doing and to get some feedback. Well, as the title says, I'm building a grow enclosure that is low costing to build, consumes very low wattage and yeilds...
