im growing in FFOF and use i tsp per gallon of grow,catalyst,and bloom. works good for me. i water when they need it.

heres what i do.. get a few motion sensor lights and instead of using bulbs i put in one of those screw in adaptors for a plug..heres where it gets good.. then i plug in some 110v emergency fire alarm bells. get it? the sensor turns on the bells instead of a light. holy shit is it loud. it WILL...
