get yourself a 10,000 gallon water plastic water tank. Fill it from seasonal sources in the winter and have water for the whole summer. Use a gas powered water pump to move the water around. Get this to fill the tank with: http://www.truckpaper.com/listings/detail.aspx?OHID=1890233&dlr=1

40c was a typo. It's 5c. Why waste all the money on infrastructure when it can be generated locally. Also, not all alternative energy sources are as stable as hydro (i.e. solar goes out at night). Also, what are the impacts of the dam? You make it sound like refills will be down at the...

How do you get power for 6c/kwh? diesel genset?

It's a safer design that fails in a safe way. 40c/kwh was a typo also. You are all worried about potential harms from nuclear. Every day we all suffer the harms of other forms of power creation. Polution from fossil fuels, wars from them etc. Nuclear also has the benefit of creating a...

My home made aero cloner started working much better once I put it in a enclosed space. The cold basement wasn't working. As soon as I put it inside I had 10+ cuts pop roots within 24 hours. All of my headband cuts are now rooted. Time to see what everyone is talking about.

ok, I bought a secret jardin dr60 and I think I'm going to get a 400w mh to go inside of it. I'll use that for moms and the rubbermaid with t8's as a large humidity dome. Just need one more spot to let plants recover from transplanting to dirt in 4", get a little bigger and be ready to go...

Any hints for ways to create a large amount of clones from a small totally stealth space? I want to use as few mothers as possible of course. I'm talking about 3-4 strains, and turning out as many clones as possible from a few rubbermaid tubs or a really small tent. Right now I have an action...

Here's some pics of the moms. I'll go over and take pics of the clones tonight. Some are dying now. Could it have been from not hardening them off before putting them under a 1kw HPS? Or an overdose of superthrive? Also, the bushy plant is starting to recover, as you can see by the green...

hrmmm. Ph is 6.7. Is that enough to screw up hydro? also, I fed soil plants with the same nutes I was using in hydro and they are showing the same signs, just not as bad.

bingo, checked PH, it it up at 8. I'm off to the hydro shop for some ph down. Haven't had to deal with it at my last scene but this new one appears to have a diff water supply or sumtin.

My plants are all turning light yellow, almost white in the new growth. I've tried a different nute (first old age then AN conni) and it hasn't helped. I'll try and get some pics up tonight to show exactly what I'm talking about. It's like the yellow starts at the stem and moves out on the...

big bloom isn't high in anything, it's mainly a catalyst. The NPK numbers are 0.01-0.3-0.7 where as tiger bloom is 2-8-4. The FF feeding schedule suggests that you use it along with grow big and tiger bloom. It's guano and worm castings mostly if I remember correctly, which you can buy on your...

being too close to the 1kW digital ballast/cordset makes my controller go crazy. It misreads temp/humidity badly.

hrmmm, damn grow shop guy told me a 220v ballast would be substantially more efficent, like 20-30%.

Thanks for the kind words. The cooling water doesn't get much above 80 degrees since I started using a more powerful fan than the one in the pic. I might look into a chiller in the summer depending on how the heat holds up. I'm loving the setup so far. Only con is that if the water doesn't flow...

also I plan on trying using the light vertically instead of horizontally as I do now. It's just a matter of screwing on some hooks to hang it from. This garden is just a big experiment. I want to try as many things as I can.

Here's some pics from 9/11. I was in the middle of straightening up all of the cables but the setup is more or less the same today. You can see the two hoses going into the blue barrel. One goes through the heat exchanger before returning to the barrel.

Hrmmm, it didn't kill the ladybugs I had already released. Think it was enough? There was a considerable amount of frost on the regulator.

hello, thanks for experimenting and posting. i have yet to find a positive comment for water cooled lights, would you mind posting some pics of your set up and plants. I'll try and post some good pics later. My plants don't look good right now due to spider mite infestation. I have some...
