    Reliable brand for hid lighting

    Hi all. I've been using CFLs (6 42w per 3 plants) and plan on vegging them for another month, maybe 2. However I plan on getting a HID light at some point. Here is what I have to consider... I live in the middle of nowhere, so you-know-who driving around with IR cameras is pretty much not...

    Plants stretched but seem to be doing fine...

    Hi all, just an update to my first grow, basically I had started germinating in peat and let the seedlings get too tall because I didn't have their final homes set up at the moment (low funding at the time) and my CFLs were too far away. However now that everything is set up correctly I have...

    Question for Garden Knowm and those who have read his book

    I want to build that light fixture he has in his book Buds For Less, however he didn't give specific dimensions of the cuts he used for 3 of his wooden pieces, or what kind of size of the wood pieces themselves. I was going to go to Home Depot and ask for these to be cut but realized that I...

    Would this be enough?

    Hi all. I was doing a lot of looking and have come to the conclusion that CFLs are probably best for my growing purposes. Here's the deal. For ONE plant, to get a good size, say, 3-5 feet in height, would (5) 105 watt light bulbs; two 30K Spirals, and three 65K Spirals be enough? I was going to...

    Sterilite hydro - UV degredation/melting questions

    Hello all, just a quick couple of questions... I've noticed that 9/10ths of all hydroponic kits online are made with sterilite containers, only a few are made from either heavy duty buckets or some uniform white/black plastic which seems to be made for growing. I guess what I'm asking is that...

    Ventilation question

    I am currently in the process of setting up a grow room. Doing hydro, using bubbleponics with 16 gal res and ph controller bucket. Decided to use CFL lighting to reduce heat output and of course keep electrical costs down. I really don't want/cant vent from the grow room, which is about 10' x 5'...

    Question about male/female plant pollenation

    Hi all, just a quick question I had. I would think that the closer the plants are together, for example, all attached to the same Tupperware top on hydro system would be more likely to pollinate each other, than say...each single plant growing from its own 5 gallon DWC bucket. I know that a 5...

    LED lighting and easiest nutrient method for hydro

    Hi all, I had a quick question about lighting. I have a 225 LED panel from a friend. I checked out the manufacturers website and it looks like it's a really sweet light. Super efficient and produces only the spectrum needed for growing. Will this be enough for the entire length of growing or...

    Hi all.

    Hi all. First post. Quick question for you all... I recently purchased a Chameleon brand bowl from a head shop downtown. Paid almost $100 for it. About 4 inches long, nice, deep bowl. Took a drop from about 3 feet onto carpet (it was not hot/cold at all, hadn't been used yet actually) and shows...
