    125 watt CFL ?

    Been getting things together for my first grow, DWC setup. I have a small closet, and plan on 4 plants in an 18 gal DWC. I'm leaning towards CFL for a few reasons, but heat, and the small difference in price, compared to say a 400 watt Hps/Mh. I've read thru the CFL guides and FAQ's etc. My...

    Buddha

    It's far less religion than it is just a way of life that focuses on each individual working within themself through meditation / study/ deep thought to understand what is and is not important. It's worth looking into more, really mentally stimulating but relaxing at the same time. I did a...

    First grow planning (DWC) questions

    So using a seperate Res is really only adding more work/equipment? My idea was to start w/ 2 plants but leave enough set up to grow 4 plants the next time around. Rawbudski.. you just buy gallons of distilled water to start and keep your water level correct? I'm def. gonna build a drain on...
