Why buy? You can make anything they sell with parts from Home Depot, Wal Mart and sprinkler supply stores, be innovative. I made my drip setup using 6 kitty litter buckets. I did use an old 2' x 4' reservoir, an aquarium pump, a shuttle kit, 6 8" net pots, hydroton. Put it in a closet with a 400 watt digital ballast (so I can switch from MH to HPS), a couple 100 watt cfl's to supplement ($5 reflectors from Wal Mart), a bathroom fan in the ceiling (on timer) sucks out the warm air and sends it to a vent outside the house. I have some single hydro units I use for the mothers made from kitty litter buckets incorporating hydrofarm parts and an aquarium air pump. I keep them in another room since they're not as time sensitive. I don't like giving company's my hard earned cash for something I can make, it's really not difficult and rewarding too. Now if I can just educate myself enough to get around buying the expensive nutes. The Phototron is cool though, in a sort of retro way, you can probably improve it somehow. Good Luck Doc!

Hey Amber honey how ya doing. I have been having a problem with fruitflys lately and was talking to one of the guys at the hydro store and he told me about a product the you mix with your water to control egg laying flying insects like thrips and stuff. Think he said it was called gnatgo or natgo? Anyways he said they had just sold out of it, I wonder why, right lol. I'm going to start using it next week when they get some more in.

catch ya later!

yes PON - lady bugs or red ladys do kick ass for lots of pest problems..... I must say - I have monthly pest control service for my house, and I've never had a bug problem... my neighbors have with spidermites and such, but luckily not me.

you're right Highlander - it's Gnatgo, with a G - saw it at my hydro shop last week.... I'm going friday Amber - I'll take a pic of the bottle for you and post it up.
and on your flushing - a week is a little shy - but it doesn't have to be 2 weeks either - how is the runoff water looking now? (I'm thinking 10 8-10 days... especially if Lemmy is in that bad of shape)

Hey Doc, sorry about the bug thing...Here is a link to an artical on thrips and other stuff you might find interesting...

http://urbangardenmagazine.com/?s=thrips

Thank you for the link SL2. Funny thing, Since I did a big flush a couple days ago my thrips seemes to have vanished. Maybe they hate molassas. Plus the blue sticky traps worked wonderfully.

Bud look good and frosty...She looks like a movie star getting make up in there! lol

LOL, yeah shes gets a lot of pamperin, and trust me, compared to your beauty right now, shes looking more like a drag queen than anything. Still loveable though.

I wish I was has mechanically inclined as you!!!! Your so lucky you have the skills and motivation to make things happen. I have to really organize my time and prioritiize how I can enjoy my life working a FT job. My plant and art are what I enjoy doing the most, and both take a lot of time and energy. The rest needs to be made simple or payed for , unfortuentley. Wish I had more time. Lifes too damn short!!

Doing good HL. Thanks for the heads up on gnatgo, should have tried it a while ago. Ill be looking forward to hearing how it works for you. Please keep those biting flys away from my stem and leaves. If you hear any screaming youll know who it is.




a damned fine growing machine if i say so myself :)[/QUOTE]
Sweet, thanks:hug:

okay - did he really just roll in here - insult the "tron" and then roll out?? What a jackass!

LOL....thanks for watchin my back girlfriend:-P

yes PON - lady bugs or red ladys do kick ass for lots of pest problems..... I must say - I have monthly pest control service for my house, and I've never had a bug problem... my neighbors have with spidermites and such, but luckily not me.

I dig ladybugs and would use them. They would make for beautiful imagary. But the doors of the Tron stay open so they would excape...
Did you ever see the Jeorge Cervantes vidio on how to grow... he talks about bugs adn intoduces the ladybugs into the grow room. Then he says .....and if you need to get then lady bugs out of the garden ...just vacuum them up....and take them out of the vacuum and use them again.....they dont mind at all. LOL

:leaf:Hey bud, they dont look milky? New studies have shown that clear is actually where the highest THC content is stored. One of the reasons I chose SLH was for the 22-23% Tch level..one of the highest around. I am looking for a soaring everlasting high that makes you super creative. I dream of some light hallucinating.

Ahhhh, your sweet.:hug::bigjoint::peace:bongsmilie

Don't forget that it gets better with age! Just wait until your smoking your dank with a one or two month cure...yum!!

Full time job huh baby? No that doesn't leave for a lot of extra time but it sounds like you have your priorities straight.

Stay golden Ponyboy

High Times March addition.The bulb and ballast breakdown.page 52
This artilcle is very important in many reguards.
Todays new electronic and digital ballasts are not compatible with the standard metal Halide and High pressure sodium bulbs that growers have been accustomed to using over the past 30 years.
:leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf:
There is no HSP bulb compatible with electronic and digital ballasts...
NOR can ONE BE MADE.
:leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf:
Bulbs are burning out at an unmanageable rate....
BUT THE KICKER......
When these bulbs burn out the gas inside the bulb is released. This means that sodium, mercury and phosphorous vapors are covering our gardens!!!
AND buds we have been smoking ,,,, certainly not a desired or healthy aftereffect, especially for those using cannabis medicinally.
Ive taken some quotes from this article. Heads up, stay healthy :leaf::peace:bongsmilie

Hey amber, buds look like they're swelling a bit now. Hows the density on those top flowers? Looks pretty awesome. Hows the smell in yours atm? Mines stinks of lemons!

Interesting read about the HPS. Would like to see some of the studies.

I guess if you had a dedicated exhaust (always running) you prolly would not have an issue with that.

Hope your day went well! I'm pretty sure your four hours earlier than I, were you are. Talk to ya!!
