    Small Light Weight Irrigation Pumps ?

    In keeping the budget down I would invest in a durable portable drill, buy one of those drill attachments which pumps water and fill a HD plastic garbage bin to act as your reservoir. You can always use the drill around the house. You can also buy a inexpensive 12 volt marine bilge pump to...

    Emerald triangle, blueberry headband anyone?

    Slimjimham, good choice of strain. Best to use Light Warrior during germination or any light soil. I found 90 watt UFO was ok for this period but the seedling grow pretty slow. Mainly short for sometime but they are getting stocky during the initial seedling stage so be patient. I grew them...

    SOG Question

    Hey everyone, SOG question today. I liked my last SOG test grow using KC Brain Danky Doodle using 600 watt vented hood, 2 gal smart pots and good soil mix. The previous grow was only four plants among some KC36 -Strawberry cough strain I crossed, so I am going with 12 pots this time. Can I run...

    Auto Watering System for Seedling

    I have a grow room that I am not always attending to 24/7 and needed to come up with a simple way to auto water my seedlings while away. Previously using drip lines I ended up with both a mess as well as confusion as to which line fed which starter cup or pot. I used a black 5 gallon bucket lid...

    Any help designing Drip Irrigation assembly infinitely appreciated

    That is a good project you have going. CAP sells a digital timer you can set up "On" from 1 sec to 10 miutes, OFF cycle from second, minutes or up to hours. Good for those little fine tuning adjustments or, cloning machines so the reservoir doesn't heat up. Although I have used the Octopus type...

    Is it possible to setup automated watering for a hempy bucket (passive hydro) system?

    I have used a digital timer system like the ones at Walmart, Home Depot and the likes. You want a good one, about $20.00 work and is seven day programable. If by chance you are automating due to not be home all the time, I use one of those computer power back up units in case power failure. It...

This reservoir is kept concealed outdoors under the porch and a themostatic switch turns on the inline pump which runs water through the lamp coolers. As the water...

    What (if anything) do I get when I plant a hermie seed?

    I grew some KC 36 strain outdoors. The females that I selected came from a regular pack so I had to discard the males initally. At harvest I found seeds in the lower branches where light was hard to reach. I have grown those seeds. Out of 22 seeds all 22 germinated just fine. I kept track and I...

    Cant find dry ice HELP

    Phone book listing are worthless... I found bait shops almost always have dry ice and look under "sea food" distributors. There is usually a minimum amount you have to purchase, bring a small insulated cooler, pair of good gloves and newspaper to wrap up the package. Don't store the dry ice in...

    Can Marijauna pollenate or be pollenated by any other plant

    Marijuana can be grafted with Hops, the plant used in brewing beer. Sort of strange as hops also has a very skunky aroma as does fresh buds. I read about this fact during the late 1970's when sensimilla was first being written about. It would be a interesting project to graft and produce more...

    Grow Room Design

    I found that after 28 years in the Infantry grow rooms are a lot like fighting positions... you keep coming up with ways to improve them. Light decipline, remember to cover up all those "power indicator lamps" on your power strips, timers and heater/dehumidifiers. They can put out significant...
