    So can cops trace where you live from this website???

    Appologies, I havn't read the whole thread, but I'm sure that if the authorities want you they will get you no matter what you, I/we hide behind. One of the first things I read when I got a little interested in growing for personel use was, Not to tell anyone, but for some reason, I and you...

    Why hang upside down?

    Hi there, I'm not sure about reinventing the wheel but I can see where you are coming from as if to say, I'm certainly not trying to re write the grow book if you like. The main reason for my question is that in around 4 to 5 days the current grow will be done ( two plants ), I have just...

    Why hang upside down?

    Thanks for the words of wisdom people, that's a little clearer now. So, could one presume that hanging upside down is not compulsory and if space and environment allow you could in theory let the plant sit in dry soil for a week or so to allow the plant to dry some with no detrimental affect...

    Why hang upside down?

    Hi thanks for your time and help :) Is there actually any benefit to hanging upside down apart from maybe making space in the flower area? Does hanging upside down help the drying plant or change some properties within the plant? Say I took two clones from the same plant, vegged them for...

    Why hang upside down?

    Hi all, I would like to know why you should hang your finished plant upside down to dry. Could you not get to the end of your flowering cycyle and just leave the plant the right way up in it's soil untill it's dry? Say you timed your waterings so that when your at end of flower the soil is...

    ice chest?

    You could indeed gut a fridge/freezer and use it, I haven't done it but I'm sure you could. Your fridge, so you want to gut it? If it has no refrigerant in the pipes your laughing. Just pull all the old bits you don't want, just watch the compressor if turned up the wrong way oil could leak...

    anyone wanna set up my room for me?

    I will sort your room for you, but, It will cost you, an ounce of bud, 4 pints of beer and a pot of tea and the cost of the air ticket if we be on different soil. j/k :)

    what causes ???

    Very interesting indeed, this thread may have just answered my wonderings too. I have a few leaves doing the same thing, forming a V and the leaves pointing up some. All looks healthy at this time, plants are due to be cut in around 3weeks, would it be worth me tying to fix the leaves or just...

    timer fcked up what to do?

    I have had no end of trouble with timers and hps lighting. I think that your timer that doesnt switch off has the contacts melted some and welded together kinda indicating to me that the timer is well underpowered in terms of load carrying capacity compared to the load are asking from it. I...

    Ultimate Heat Control?

    Hi, sorry to sound negative on your cooling idea (the picture in post #1) I believe this will not work well at all. Reasons being, you will need massive pressure/air flow to force the air through the cooling medium. The warm water will bubble with air and evaporate away quickly increasing...

    Cheese cultivation

    Love and hate relationship with cheese for me at the moment. Had four big buddah fem cheese seed and grew to chunky buds. Noticed an odd smell in the room one week that went away after a day, a week or so later bud rot trashed three of them. Cut the one survivor a week or two early and dried...

    Running an AC unit inside an attic

    Ahh, refrigeration and growing :) I think, like the experienced gowers here, they like pictures so they can advise, I'm not a Grow Pro, but I am a refrigeration fella, A picture of the layout with ac would help me loads. I read your first post and only understand you venting the hot air out, the...

    Fridge Grow

    Hi, the only way to really remove the gas to avoid venting to atmosphere is to reclaim it. This involves hooking the fridge up to a reclaim pump and a recovery tank. The pump will suck the gas out of the fridge and pump it into a tank. It's not really something you could do yourself without...

    Fridge Grow

    Hi, I read with interest but am sad to say using a fridge to keep your plants cool maybe a bit of a bad idea even with a different thermostat. The reason I say this is because the fridge/freezer will probably not be able to cope with the heat load produced by lights and you will also need to...

    Fridge Grow

    Hi csd, seeing as your gutting it completely it may be possible to release the refrigerant in a more safe and controlled manor. I was just afraid you were going to drill a hole anywhere and get a nasty surprise with the refrigerant escaping. Like I mentioned before the system will be under...
